Gag-order or 'blackmail', video proof is out: PSY DIDN'T WANT TO DANCE WITH NAJIB, BN

Video proof of Korean mega-star Psy refusing to toss 'yee-sang' with Malaysia's ruling party is out.

Apart from Malaysia Chronicle, few local websites had dared to report the incident which was indeed an international slap in the face for Prime Minister Najib Razak and his administration in light of Psy's phenomenal worldwide popularity and reach.

Since the February 11 gig, political insiders have admitted that Najib and BN leaders had planned to do a mini-dance routine with Psy, akin to the one Psy had performed with United Nations chief Ban Ki-Moon.

But it was not to be, Psy declined to take the bait. [click PSY SLAP IN THE FACE: Korean superstar refused to toss 'yee-sang' with Najib, BN]

With Malaysia widely expected to hold its 13th general elections within weeks, Psy earned high praise for his sharpness and fairness in refusing to be a part of the BN's electoral propaganda.

"BN tried to be sneaky and make use of Psy's fame to promote themselves as well as to endorse Najib's 1Malaysia political slogan. That was not nice at all and I am glad Psy was alert enough not to get caught in local politics so close to the GE. That wouldn't have been fair," Tan Kee Kwong, a senior in the PKR party led by Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim, told Malaysia Chronicle.

No Oppa BN-style : Psy also took care not to mention 1Malaysia

In his speech, Najib had promised Psy would not only sing his signature Oppa Gangnam-style, but also perform a special Oppa BN-style.

But not only was Najib and his BN leaders left waiting and red-faced on the stage, Psy was meticulous in not mentioning Najib's own signature 1Malaysia slogan during his performance and while speaking to the crowd.

The BN coalition is now blaming the Opposition for the "sabotaging" the event, where Najib was also embarrassed when he asked the crowd if they were ready for Psy and they had shouted 'Yes' with all their might.

Yet when the PM followed up by asking if they were ready for BN, the answer was a thundering 'No'. [click VIDEO Yes to Psy, No to BN]

"Not all who came said 'No'. We have video footage that showed a large part of the crowd shouted 'Yes' when the PM asked the question several times. I believe they were sent to sabotage our open house," lead organizer Teng Chang Yeow, the head of Penang BN, was reported as telling Malay daily Sinar Harian.

BN losing the plot with Malaysians

Chang Yeow's Gerakan party had ruled Penang for decades but was nearly wiped out during the 2008 election. He is believed to have spearheaded the event in a bid to claw back at least "one or two face-saving" seats for his party.

Tens of thousands of Penangites had thronged the BN Chinese New Year open house held at the field of the Han Chiang College in Georgetown. But as can be seen from the BN fiasco that unfolded, their motive was to come and see Psy, who lived up to his fame and purported RM2mil fee. Not to support the BN.

And unlike BN, Psy did not disappoint.

He gave an astonishing performance rendering a 4-minute version of Oppa Gangnam-style twice. Both times, the Korean superstar had the crowd in the palm of his hand, lapping up each vowel that he sang and dancing each quirky step along with him and his troupe of equally amazing dancers.

Sad to say, it was exactly the opposite with Najib and BN, who have clearly lost the plot with their own countrymen.
