MAHATHIR (450x310)

(The Malaysian Insider) – Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has told non-Malays that they should stop questioning the special rights of the Malays and count themselves privileged, having been given citizenship and other rights in this country.

Malaysia Today

Once again, Dr. Mahathir wants to remind Malays to stop questioning about their rights.

Thinking far

From a comment I saw on the page, someone said:

Bye bye Vincent Tan (CEO, Berjaya Group)
Bye bye Francis Yeoh (MD, YTL)
Bye bye Ananda Krishnan (CEO, Maxis Communication)
Bye bye Robert Kuok (Chairman, Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts Chain)
Bye bye Tony Fernandez (CEO, Airasia)
Bye bye Genting Highlands (Lee) (No tax revenue)
Bye bye Magnum 4D (No tax revenue)
Bye Carlsberg & Guinness Anchor!

Is this what Malaysia hopes to achieve?

I remember a couple of months ago hearing “Negarakuku”, a song written based on the tune of “Negaraku”. Here’s the lyrics

Cina balik Cina
Kalau semua balik ah
Sini bukan Malaysia

I really don’t understand all these. Can anyone explain?

This post is just here to share with you what I read online. I have no comments at all.

PETALING JAYA: Student Wee Meng Chee, 24, who caused a furore here with his Negaraku (Negarakuku) rap video clip on YouTube, has apologised for the parody and will remove the video clip from his blog. 

“It has taught me a lesson about the spirit of nationalism and race relations. As a Malaysian, I did not intend to shame the country or ridicule any religion. 

That’s what I read on the papers today.

Case end. The rap is now history. I still like Negaraku, ku. It somehow taught me how to sing the national anthem of Malaysia! Cheers!

According to news article on TheStar..

Deputy Internal Security Minister Datuk Mohd Johari Baharum said police would investigate the rap video while MCA Youth chief Datuk Liow Tiong Lai said Wee had insulted the national anthem.

“I’m simply reflecting the truth about our society through my music and I did not mean to offend anyone by producing such a video clip. I still love my country,” he (Wee Meng Chee) said.

- Agreed.

On his blog, Wee said he had removed the video from the website after receiving some negative reaction.

“I had to do it because my family was being pressured and I can’t be selfish by just thinking about myself,” he added.

- Support! Selfless teenager! Thumbs up.

His father, in an interview with Sin Chew Daily, defended his son’s patriotism as the student had insisted on taking along the Jalur Gemilang when he left for Taiwan to study.

- According to the video Namewee made, he said that students that graduated from Chinese Secondary (or High) Schools had problem entering local Universities. That’s why he went overseas. And he hopes to serve his country when he graduates.

Meanwhile, in Kuala Lumpur, Bernama reported that the police had no authority to investigate or detain individuals involved in broadcasting Wee’s Negaraku as it happened outside the country.

“The police can only take action if the incident occurs in the country,” Deputy Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Mohd Najib Abdul Aziz told reporters yesterday.

- We hope that’s the case.
