Members of several Muslim NGOs slaughtered four chickens and smeared the blood on a banner with the faces of DAP and PKR representatives.
The group that dubbed itself Council of Islamic NGOs carried out the bloody act under the banner of 'Protest against insults to Malay leadership, the Yang di-Pertuan Agong and Islam and Malay dignity by a splinter of politicians, leaders and Chinese chauvinists.'
The killing of the chickens took place near the Puduraya bus terminal and government offices at Jalan Tun Perak in Kuala Lumpur this afternoon.
The four opposition leaders pictured on the bloodied poster are Seputeh MP Teresa Kok, Gelang Patah MP Lim Kit Siang, Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng and Machang Bubuk PKR state assemblyperson Lee Khai Loon.

about
30 participants.
They were reacting to Kok's Chinese New Year video titled'Onederful Malaysia CNY 2014' and last month's flashmob by Machang Bubuk's Lee, where kangkung was stuffed into the mouth of a cardboard effigy of Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak in protest against recent price hikes.
One of the rally organisers, Zulkifly Sharif from Pertubuhan Permuafakatan Majlis Ayahanda Malaysia (Permas) accused the politicians whose faces adorned the banner, of manipulating the price hike issue.
"The increase in prices of goods has been turned into a kind of propaganda to bring down Malay leadership. They are trying to provoke hatred and belittle Malay leadership.
"We are appalled that the Chinese and Christian extremists who play with the image of Malay leaders, stuffing his mouth with kangkung, whereby these leaders were democratically elected by the people of Malaysia," he said.
Expel Chinese, Indians not fluent in Malay
He also urged that the government expel Chinese and Indian citizens who were not fluent in Malay from the country.
"We hope that, while the operation to flush out illegal immigrants is on-going, that the Home Ministry will also screen Malaysians, especially the Chinese and Indians who are not fluent in Malay or no longer show loyalty to the king and country to be banished, "said Zulkifly.
Before the blood smearing ritual, some participants also stepped on the banner. At the end of the rally, organisers passed out more than two baskets full of kangkung to those who attended.
Speaking toMalaysiakini later, Zulkifly said the chicken slaughter
