stephy 0 Report post Posted August 14, 2007 Hi Gals, i'm not sure how many of us out there hav viewed this video. The author is frm Muar who created the video " MUAR Chinese - ma bo de hua yu " which make him famous. This latest video is made inconjunction with the 2007 Visit Malaysia year. After the video is published, he got himself into trouble & was heard the govn is taking action against him due to no respect toward the National Anthem " Negaraku-ku " & indirectly putting ashamed on the country culture. Anyway, he gain lots of supporters & youngsters started to love this national anthem :D view the video HERE ... else you may view it in www.youtube.com his ID is namewee.

Escudo 0 Report post Posted August 14, 2007 I think the govn is paying attention to "zhe ma dou fu", they should put more attention on real criminal. If they said namewee is copying negaraku, how about the mamula-moon then? If u get what I mean. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mhyap1 0 Report post Posted August 14, 2007 on the song, i really have no idea who copy who... hahaha... wonder is any of them pay for the copyrights or not... :P by the way, when the govt said they need to check to see if he study under government scholarship or loan i was like huh? they need to check meh...? since when govt offer schorlarship/ loan to those study in taiwan.. coz govt don't recognize qualification from taiwan isn't it... or they have changed their policy and i know nothing about it.... :P Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Else, they will continue to take action against him even thought he's in taiwan !! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cutiepiggie 0 Report post Posted August 14, 2007 i think he has made a statement to apologise in his blog. BOth in chinese and malay. Like his creativity. NO doubt he was trying to express his views about malaysia but still feel that some lyrics are really too sensitive. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mhyap1 0 Report post Posted August 14, 2007 putting those sensitive issue aside, i think he have a nice vocal. in the interview with the taiwan TV, he said he have wrote about 300 songs.... there is some of his song in youtube and i find it's quite nice also... :P Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Escudo 0 Report post Posted August 14, 2007 I really wish namewee a smooth sailing ahead. He is talented, and I wish that he could land himself with the Taiwan recording company. It's good that he gets the notice of Taiwan news. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
