In the message accompanying the video, Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim says he was neither on the side of the “red nor the yellow shirts” but firmly on the side of Bangsa Johor for it was the symbol of unity.

“I am on the side of the Bangsa Johor’s where it symbolises unity. As unity is the formula of this nation moving forward, not violence and hatred,” he said, telling the people to stay positive.

“Guns don’t kill people, people kill people. Violence and hatred is not going to make this nation a better place. Stay positive. Lots of love.”

In the video, six individuals in red shirts and wearing full-faced black masks, are heard grunting and groaning as they surround another performing silat moves.

Suddenly one among them, holding long thin sticks in both hands begins whacking the silat performer, who is apparently so strong, one stick breaks upon impact.

Another flings a brick at the back of the silat performer’s head, but the brick too smashes to smithereens without injuring the man.

The camera then pans to the crown prince, who upon seeing the antics of the group, aims his gun at the gang and fires a few shots, before looking into the camera with a deadpan look on his face and shrugging his shoulders before calmly walking off screen.

The scene in the video of the gang of individuals wearing red shirts is reminiscent of actual Red Shirts members, who on Saturday, held a demonstration in front of the office of news portal Malaysiakini. During the demonstration, Red Shirts members performed silat moves and chanted slogans demanding Malaysiakini be shut, before dispersing.
