He said it was more important to look at the messages delivered by the song made by Taiwan-based student Wee Meng Chee, 24.
“He expressed the youths’ point of view for all to pay attention to,” he said.
Shahrir said Wee had brought up police corruption and problems faced by Chinese independent schools' students.
“It is a fact known by all of us that those who graduated from these schools cannot enter local universities because the education systems are different ,” he said.
Wee caused a furore with his “Negarakuku” rap video clip with several quarters condemning him for mocking the national
anthem and making offensive statements.
“Now, we should check if he has violated any Act or if the content is seditious.
“I am not sure if it is wrong to sing the national anthem in such a way according to the law,” he said after flagging off 110 bikers who took part in the Segamat Bikers’ Johor Ride here yesterday.
Gerakan acting president Tan Sri Dr Koh Tsu Koon said if action was instituted against Meng Chee for his controversial video clip, action must also be taken against others who incite hate.
He added that the feelings expressed in the video clip must be taken seriously as they reflect the sentiments of Chinese youth.
However, he felt that Meng Chee’s method was not right.
what he say is true from his point and whatever his faced…but he should deliver it without condemning the NEGARAKU.
so what! why can’t we condemn the negaraku, if the country do not love us.
MP: How can you define that the country does not love a person? The country consists of people like you and me right?
malaysia is define like that…. so what???? WILL MALAYSIA CHANGE????? MALAYSIA WON’T CHANGE
