It all started from a short story written by Chamil Wariya, which was published in Utusan Malaysia’s weekend edition Mingguan Malaysia. The short story entitled ‘Politik baru YB J’ relates how Alam Maya MP Josephine pushes for reform against race-based politics. Her revolutionary thinking eventually marks her out for assassination. Finally, she was gunned down by her own kind. The story says the murder was prompted by Josephine being “a threat to harmony” and therefore, “it was best to end her life so that the multiracial community may live in peace”. (Source: Malaysiakini - YB Teresa reserves suspicion on 'YB Josephine')
All I have to say is that you have to read the story in full in order to judge for yourself whether or not the fictional ‘YB Josephine’ was really developed around Seputeh DAP parliamentarian Teresa Kok. Personally, I see it as a 'veiled' threat to Teresa. Objectively, I see the author 'validating' murder on anyone who pushes for reform against race-based politics. No wonder Anwar once said the only thing that his opposition had stopped short of doing was to assassinate him. Interesting! ;-)

Is the story a parody reflecting how a certain race takes offence at those not if its own kind, outsider, khafirs, migrants who have no right or business to interfere into its own affairs. The final solution and penalty for such interference, of corruption of its identity is 'removal by assassination / death? see 'Art Imitating Life-Da Victim Condemned Code' www.jonathan66-my.blogspot.com
