Baiting voters with sex clip

A BN supporter admits distributing controversial video in Sarawak



KUALA LUMPUR: A pro-Barisan Nasional blogger has admitted in a posting that he and others are using a sex video to help the coalition gain votes in the Sarawak election.


According to the Kuala Lumpur-based blog, Gerakan Anti-PKR (Anti-PKR Movement), copies of the video, allegedly showing Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim having sex with a prostitute, were being distributed among voters in the state.

The admission is made in a posting entitled “PRN Sarawak: Teka Apa Kami Buat Untuk Selamatkan Rakyat Sarawak (Sarawak Election: Guess What We Are Doing to Save the People of Sarawak). It features photographs of people watching the video on the Ipad.

The posting does not say whether the video being shown is the 22-minute original or the edited version that has been posted on the Internet.

PKR strategy director Fuziah Salleh today denounced the vote-fishing tactic.

“This is the true colour of BN,” she told FMT. “They practise gutter politics.”



However, she does not think that the tactic will help BN gain votes.

“Sarawak needs basic amenities like water, electricity, drainage, roads, schools and hospitals,” she said. “I believe people will not spend time with obscene matters like this.”

She also said BN’s use of the video proved that the coalition feared Anwar’s increasing popularity and influence in Sarawak.
