The pornographic clip, part of the sex video targeted at Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim by UMNO leaders, showed a man resembling Anwar having sexual intercourse with a woman. Anwar's family however said the clip only further confirmed their suspicion that it was yet another vile plot to kill off his political career.
That however did not stop TV3, part of the sole private broadcast corporation in the country, to air the snippet.
In an immediate response, Lim said TV3 had left ordinary Malaysians feeling violated in their own homes and turned the station into a pornographic channel.
“No child safe at home,” said Lim on Twitter. “All parents (should) lodge police reports against TV3. Let’s have nation-wide campaign to protect homes and children from such disgusting TV fare and gutter politics.”
Lim also called for heads to roll over the broadcast.
“Or Info Minister Rais should go,” he added, referring to Information, Communications, and Culture minister Rais Yatim who is in charge of television contents.
He also urged prime minister Najib Razak to act by drawing the line between what is decent or not.
“Watching TV3 nightline news, disgusting! Anyone who is against Anwar Ibrahim will be given primetime news slot,” she said.
Earlier, Anwar’s daughter Nurul Izzah Anwar said her family would not be cowed by such tactics.
“My family and I stand firmly with Anwar Ibrahim, and we maintain that the actor is not Anwar. This latest, most disgusting effort is an attempt to destroy our fighting spirit and derail reforms so desperately needed in this nation.
"We shall not bow to nor be cowed by such tactics," the Lembah Pantai MP told online news portal Malaysiakini upon learning that the video's second installment was briefly available on YouTube before being taken off due to violation of the video sharing site's policy.
