Student rapper apologises

Dr Chua, who is also Johor MCA chairman, said the MCA had accepted his apology and urged all Malaysians to accept Meng Chee’s apology in good faith too.

At the same time,

Malaysians Must Accept Wee’s Apology - Zam

Information Minister Datuk Zainuddin Maidin said the society must accept the apology by Wee Meng Chong who has regretted mocking the national anthem and making racial slurs.

HOWEVER, we heard this now.

Cabinet rejects apology from Negaraku rapper

KUALA LUMPUR: The Cabinet has not accepted student Wee Meng Chee’s apology for the furore caused by his Negaraku rap videoclip on video-sharing web portal YouTube. Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Mohamed Nazri Abdul Aziz said the Cabinet had decided yesterday that they were not in the position to forgive him and that “the law would have to take its course”.

[.......]

“To not prosecute him is not ‘on’ at all because he has committed an offence against the nation and no one, not the Cabinet or political parties, are in the position to forgive him,” he said. Wee could be charged under the Sedition Act because he had insulted the symbol of the nation, he said.

[......]

He also said that he wanted action to be taken against video-sharing portal YouTube and other bloggers who have allowed sensitive material to be published that went against the law of our country.**

Meanwhile, the Information Minister also changed his mind now.

再努丁也改口：依多数惩罚意见

此外，日前曾经呼吁国人接受黄明志的道歉，并呼吁国人无再追究改编国歌风波的新闻部长再努丁（右图），今日也更改口风，并说如果多数人民希望看到黄明志受到惩罚，那么政府将尊重全民的意愿。

“就连（能讯部长）林敬益都表示不能宽恕黄明志。如果多数人民希望黄明志受到惩罚，那么政府将尊重人民的意愿。”

他也曾赞扬马华总会长黄家定采取积极的步骤，以免有关的课题演变成为种族课题，以免被反对党扩大利用。 根据报道，再努丁曾说，这名在台湾铭传大学攻读媒体系的24岁留台生之所以犯下改编国歌的错误，是因为太年轻并对国家的敏感课题缺乏认识所致，并认为他不应该受到处罚，反之应该接受再教育，以了解及分辨政治和国家的课题。

So, MCA what says you?

** YouTube is own by Google base in USA. What kind of action can be taken? Unless filter the Internet. But, this will conflict with one of the promises of MSC. Of course, Bloggers are under fire again for this too, never miss.

Sounds like almost all national resources used to put down a student. Yup, a student. Read others’ opinion too at Rocky’s bru, MageP’s lab, The Sensintrovert, would you?

    The Minister should prosecute whoever said Malaysia’s astronauts go on space for teh tarik. That’s making all Malaysian abroad ashame and embarrassed.

    With that song, non-Malaysian feeling, hey Malaysia does have someone who’s creative, and was originally thought the local can play basic guitar under the tree. Now, Malaysia has a rapper :-)

    What the F is going on here??

    KJ: Their blamed Malaysians still think that the Astronauts are going to make teh tarik in the space, however, they are the one highlighted this in the mainstream media until the World laughed at us. I felt embarrassed too.
