Going after a Malaysian for something in YouTube

Updated! I've watched the YouTube video done by this Malaysian media communications student (named as "Namewee") in Taiwan's Ming Chuan University. It's in Mandarin, but you could get the English translation at The Cicak. To be honest, other than he could have been a little tactful in saying some of the calls of the azan for Solat Subuh waking people up sound like those of cockerels greeting the morning sun, I find the entire piece very creative, satirical (but mostly true) of the police force and government service, government policies with regards to economics and education, and catchy (the tune). But most important of all, the entire music video shows that no matter what, the beautiful people of Malaysia, its achievement and development, and its natural beauty, that is what makes Malaysians and Namwee himself love the country so much, and regardless of where they are still yearn to be back home. If his attempt to show his love for the country, albeit in a very different but creative manner, and might offend certain people, be considered seditious and unpatriotic, then we are surely headed for the dumps. All the more so if we consider patriotism as shallow acts of flying the little flag, keep saying "YES" to the BN government, and worse, the antics of KJ and gang. For more information, read here and here. But funny that the Parliamentary Secretary for Higher Education Ministry said they need to investigate if the student is sponsored by the government because I thought Taiwan universities are not recognized by the Malaysian government. But then again, nothing from the government surprises me these days.

Update (9 Aug, 14:22): Check out The Star today for Namewee's response to the threats of prosecuting him for alleged insult to the national anthem, as well as PKR Youth's take on this. At least the PDRM has the good sense of not pursuing the issue. Besides, I think they're getting pretty tired of the Umno politicians lately in forcing them to haul up Nat and Raja Petra (even his wife Marina!) for nothing but to confirm the image among the rakyat of the PDRM as a paid goon of Umno.
