DAP has released yet another humorous Chinese New Year (CNY) music video, this time parodying the issue of the RM2.6 billion found in Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak's personal bank accounts, which he later claimed was a donation from the Middle East.

In the music video, which is to drum up support for its Sarawak election campaign, DAP's Petaling Jaya Utara MP Tony Pua and Kulai MP Teo Nie Ching are seen singing the classic CNY song Cai Shen Dao (The God of Wealth is Here).

They made references to the purported RM2.6 billion Arab donor, with a man dressed as an Arab giving out money liberally in the video, as well as Teo toting luxury handbags and diamong rings.

They also made fun of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) which was implemented in April last year, with Teo carrying a GST sign and swiping money from Pua and the god of wealth.

At the end of the video, the two DAP leaders revealed their wish for the new year.

"Let's bring a change of government and say goodbye to abuse and corruption," Pua said.

'No Middle East friends'

Teo reminded that the Sarawak state election is coming up soon in April and calls on the public to donate to DAP for its election campaign there.

"DAP isn't like Najib - we don't have friends in the Middle East.

"But that's okay, because we have your support," she said.

This is not the first time DAP has published humorous CNY videos, with DAP vice-chairperson Teresa Kok releasing a video in 2014 which made references to diamond rings, branded handbags and real estate in New York, as well as several other news items pertaining to tourism and vernacular education.

The ‘Onderful Malaysia CNY 2014' video landed Kok in trouble with the authorities, as she was then charged under the Sedition Act, though the charges were later dropped.

The Wall Street Journal first broke the news on the RM2.6 billion in Najib's accounts, linking it to the troubled state fund 1MDB.

Najib has consistently denied any wrongdoing in this matter, and later said the money was a donation from the Middle East, which the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) concurred with.

Regardless, the MACC continued with its probes into the matter and submitted the investigation papers to attorney-general Mohamed Apandi Ali.

However, Apandi cleared Najib of any wrongdoing and instructed MACC to close its investigations, a decision the MACC intends to appeal.
