i agree that the song only portrays the reality here in Bolehland, however it irks me when the fella compares the azan subuh to some love duet. as a muslim, we never bising-bisng or kutuk kutuk other religion practice. we never bising2 when you play all those annoying mercun during CNY to ward off evil ghost or those temple bells toll everyday during sunset. true, there are a lot of taliban-minded ppl here in Bolehland….and i hate them. sorry to all non-Muslim who feels the azan subuh kacau your sleep. p/s: i’m a Chinese Muslim born fella.

Right, ycc.

I think he didn’t insult the religion, but just merely told us about the prayers in the morning but made it more interesting.

I agreed with you on this.

I fully understand what he sing from his point of view. He is right, it is based on what is happening (facts).
If you notice, ministers only say he is not patriotic but so far not pointing out which part he sang is not correct.

Police part: fully agreed.
Govt servant part: fully agreed.
Education part: fully agreed.
(by fully agreed: i mean both in feeling and ‘general’ realities)
I guess the only part is religion part which some share different views. But even without singing this out, most of my friend share this same view (in heart). Why, because there is an element of “force” inside. For example, if you do not practice or disagree with the religion but you are force to hear it every morning. Because loud speaker is used, you can’t really escape from it. This is also facts.
For example, In University Malaya (1st college hostel, yr1992 – now may be different not sure), The speaker is just outside of one of my friend’s room, every morning 5.45am, the loud speaker activated with Full force for 5-10min. It is really like alarm clock.
