Malaysian Rap Singer Famous Overnight
As Malaysia’s National Day is just round the corner, Muar born Chinese rap talent has decided to pay his tribute to the country as a patriotic Malaysian. This rapper by the name of ‘namewee’ had self-directed a video posted on YouTube with a rapped version of Negaraku together with his creatively embedded ‘opinion’ of the country.
However, his tribute had turned out to be an insult to the country as it has brought shame to the nation. ‘Namewee’ got himself into trouble for his patriotism as the police are considering action under the Sedition Act against him.
To face the music, ‘Namewee’ has publicly apologized through the media to express his ignorance for being disrespect to the country and also offensive to certain sensitive issues. Hurray for ‘Namewee’ that the ADP is on the other hand supportive of his act and has decided to stand up for him.
Personally, and I believe, to many Malaysians as well, I actually feel proud of such Malaysian. He was just trying to convey all those facts faced by many of us every day. It’s a hit on the nail and nobody should deny the truth behind it. Maybe, maybe, this is what many Malaysians are proud of. Maybe, even the government is proud of it too. If not, why do they feel humiliated and intimidated by this act? Let the truth speak for itself. This ‘namewee’ shouldn’t be taken any improper action as he’s just being a representative for many people, voicing out our hearts as one.
Furthermore, while hearing the way he sang his ‘Negarakuku’, it makes one feels that he’s singing with all his heart, his soul and his mind to someone so honourable and worthy. Just think about it, what wrong has he done?
What’s the purpose for the government to request an apologize from a person who actually has ‘unite’ his fans’ hearts? I’m not a politician but I believe that’s something for a citizen who has the right to give speech or rap or even normal conversation about his own country. And one thing that I’m pretty sure that, does anyone here care about what’s in his apology? Or people actually trying to rap the rhyme like he does? Let’s listen ..
