RAPPER TO TAKE THE RAP FOR PARODYING NEGARAKU? -From TodayOnline 23 Sep 2008

------------------------------------------------
PETALING JAYA — A 25-year-old rapper, who courted controversy last year by recording a parody of Malaysia's national anthem, Negaraku, has been asked to present himself at the police headquarters in Bukit Aman in the capital Kuala Lumpur today, reported The Star.


The newspaper quoted Mr Wee Meng Chee, who just graduated from a Taiwanese university, as saying the police contacted his father on Sept 11 and asked the [sic] Mr Wee to be at Bukit Aman on a specified date.


"They did not tell him why they wanted me to be present. They just set the date," he said. "I guess it is about the Negaraku rap. I am surprised. I thought the matter was laid to rest more than a year ago."


The Star reported that last year, while studying in Taiwan, Mr Wee posted a six-minute video clip online, which used Negaraku in a Mandarin rap.


Some claimed the clip was offensive and disrespectful. But Mr Wee said it was a satirical social commentary on life in Malaysia as a Chinese and was never meant to insult Islam or the Malays.


He has since apologised, saying he had no intention to hurt anyone.

I first heard about him awhile back. Talented guy I must say. Can speak so many languages and did managed to locate the stereotypes which we have of Malaysia i.e corruption, bribery, inequality for chinese. So what's wrong with the video? Maybe only because he's using their national anthem loh. You know lah. If gahmen want to charge you, anything also can tio lah. In fact, don't need reason one. Just ISD kao liao.
