PETALING JAYA: Lim Kit Siang and M. Manogaran, DAP's candidate for the Cameron Highlands by-election, were seen heckled by patrons at a restaurant in a video that has gone viral on social media.
In the 51-second video, the DAP adviser's entourage can be seen being chided by diners at a restaurant.
"Semua kena tipu, janji tak boleh makan (everyone has been deceived, promises have not been kept)," a man was heard shouting.
As Lim and Manogaran began walking out of the restaurant with a lion dance troupe in tow, another man was heard shouting at Lim for making false promises.
"The promises from the last election have not been fulfilled, what other promises are you giving?
"Great promises, great lies," a man was heard telling the Iskandar Puteri MP in the video.
Another man was also heard mocking Lim, saying that the orang asli have been living in Malaysia for a long time.
Lim was criticised for his remarks where he said if Pakatan Harapan won the by-election, he would convene a conference of orang asli representatives in Cameron Highlands to draft a blueprint for the community to become full citizens of Malaysia.
Lim's remarks had also drawn flak on Twitter, where it was pointed out that the orang asli's were already citizens of this country.
It appears that the video was taken while Lim and Manogaran were campaigning in Cameron Highlands, but this has yet to be verified.
The Star has reached out to Lim and Manogaran for comment and has yet to receive their response.
Polling for the Cameron Highlands parliamentary seat will be held on Saturday (Jan 26).
