Johor Crown Prince Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim posted a video today to spread his message of non-violence and also his criticism of the red shirts movement.
The video, posted on the Johor Southern Tigers Facebook page, had depicted seven masked men parodying the martial arts demonstration performed during a protest by the red shirts movement in Petaling Jaya yesterday.
One character in the video clip was holding a hoe, a possible reference to an incident last month involving the assault of Johor Water Commission staff.
The clip ended with Tunku Ismail rapidly firing seven rounds from his pistol at an unknown target.
He then looks at the camera and shrugs before the video ended.
The accompanying message read: "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."
He also clarifies that he is not siding with the red shirts or the "yellow shirts", believed to be a reference to electoral watchdog Bersih.

One participant smashed a cinder block with his head.
