Deputy Minister of Ministry of Culture, Arts & Heritage - Dato' Wong Kam Hoong says it’s wrong to modify or edit national anthem for their own version. But how to justify that? If I sing NEGARAKU only using F-flat, am I offending our national anthem? I heard a live jazz version officially being sang and aired on RTM. I heard minister sing NEGARAKU with an awful voice on TV. I nearly can’t recognise what song he’s singing. Does that mean he’s offended the law as well?
On the lyrics of the song, which point Namwee rap wrong about Malaysia? Is it on Bumiputera having special rights? Or is it on police hardworking attitude on Raya and Chinese New Year?
I watch a morning show today, a viewer call up giving comments bout this song; describing Namwee as a youngster that not understand the meaning of kemerdekaan. To be frank, I don’t understand neither cos not every Malaysian shares the same benefits and equal rights. Is this the meaning of kemerdekaan?
