Namewee si bodoh yang menyakitkan hati…

Terdetik di hati saya, Si Namewee bodoh atau buat-buat bodoh apabila mengeluarkan kenyataan tindakannya melagukan makian, menunjukan isyarat lucah dan menghina agama Islam adalah untuk menarik perhatian masyarakat.

Atau beliau menganggap orang Melayu bodoh apabila beliau menyebut video klip tersebut dibuat bagi mempertahankan perlembagaan sebenar dan mengutuk sesiapa yang tidak menghormati usaha Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, dalam membina negara 1Malaysia.

Apa akan jadi dengan konsep 1 Malaysia sekiranya semua rakyat Malaysia melagu dan manyanyikan cacian dan makian di atas setiap fitnah dan isu yang disensasikan?

Sebelum Namewee memuatnaikkan ‘karya agung menghina Melayu’nya itu, sebagai seorang yang terpelajar dan bertanggungjawab, beliau sepatutnya menyelidik terlebih dahulu kebenaran fitnah rasis yang telah dilemparkan kepada seorang pengetua sekolah. Juga menyelidik isu remeh yang disensasikan kerana banyak blog yang menyiarkan cerita sebenar di sebalik fitnah yang sengaja dilemparkan untuk mengeruhkan keharmornian kaum di negara ini!

Beratus-ratus pengetua, termasuk pengetua bukan Islam, menasihati pelajar bukan Islam agar menghormati pelajar Islam yang berpuasa. Malah ada pengetua bukan Islam yang memarahi pelajar bukan Islam kerana bersubahat membeli makanan kepada pelajar Islam!

Jika benar Namewee seorang yang menentang rasisme dan cintakan kedamaian di negara ini, mengapa tidak ada lagu untuk mereka yang mempertikaikan hak istimewa bumiputera, mengapa tiada lagu untuk pengkhianat surau? Mana dia lagu untuk mereka yang sengaja membakar jambatan perpaduan antara kaum?

Di mana lagu yang menyokong sekolah wawasan atau sekolah satu sistem, dan mengapa tidak dilagukan cacian terhadap pendemontrasi yang menggugat keamanan negara? Sedangkan untuk orang Melayu atau melibatkan Melayu, sentiasa ada lagu ‘istimewa’ yang menusuk hingga ke jantung!

Walaupun beliau telah menarik balik klip video tersebut, ia tidak akan dapat menghapuskan sakit hati orang Melayu dengan begitu mudah sebagaimana dengan mudahnya beliau akan membuat satu lagi permohonan maaf!

Bukan semua umat Islam mudah memaafkan Namewee di atas penghinaan yang beliau lakukan dalam klip video ‘Negarakuku’ kerana sakitnya terasa hingga ke tulang hitam. Hanya orang Melayu yang dungu sahaja tidak terguris menonton klip video tersebut.

Lawak jenaka Namewee tidak seharusnya diterima sebagai alasan untuk diaturkan satu lagi sesi memohon maaf untuk mengubat hati orang Melayu. Hati orang Melayu yang terluka tidak mudah diubati.

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 31 — The country marks its 53rd anniversary today amid a season of racially-charged controversies with Datuk Seri Najib Razak continuing to defy Umno pressure to forcibly end the race relations debate — for he worries it might lead to autocratic rule.

At the Umno supreme council meeting last Friday the prime minister played down the need for laws such as the ISA to address racial issues arising from a Johor principal’s remarks and demands by Chinese groups which include his coalition partner MCA to accelerate economic liberalisation.

“Datuk Seri Najib said it has not crossed his mind to invoke laws to control freedom of speech although some have suggested otherwise, as it is still under control,” said an Umno insider.

“He said he still believes in politics based on freedom and openness and not autocracy,” said the source familiar with what transpired at the Umno supreme council meeting.

As anger grew over SMK Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra principal Siti Inshah Mansor’s allegedly racist remarks to her pupils, independent songwriter Wee Meng Chee recently produced a music video containing racial slurs, angering some Malays.

Wee, better known as Namewee, had previously produced a video purportedly ridiculing the national anthem and the Islamic call for prayer.

The recent video resulted in calls for government to take stern action against Namewee.

The Najib administration has also been under pressure to ban non-Muslims from visiting mosques after the Selangor Islamic Council (MAIS) usurped the control of a surau for letting the non-Muslim Serdang MP Teo Nie Ching speak to the congregation.

Najib’s remarks at the supreme council meeting last week suggest he is resisting calls from the conservative faction of his own party for a crackdown.

UKM political scientist Professor Samsul Adabi Mamat said the prime minister has promoted political openness since assuming power in April 2009.

“He had said in his speeches that we are no longer in the 1970s where the government can invoke its powers as it likes,” Samsul told The Malaysian Insider.

“In many of his actions, we can see that Datuk Seri Najib Razak has been very open. For example in the case of campus politics, he has said that he was open to discussion,” he said referring to the proposal to allow undergraduates to be active in politics.

Samsul added that it is very unlikely for Najib would fail to convince his party to take the moderate approach.

“There will always be contradiction between top leadership, mid-level leaders and the grassroots. But traditionally Umno will always obey the top leadership,” said Samsul.

His colleague Dr Ahmad Nizamuddin Sulaiman said Najib’s remarks showed that the Barisan Nasional (BN) chairman wanted to utilise a new approach to political challenges.

Ahmad Nizamuddin added that Najib probably realises that he can no longer play tough with his political opponents.

“In the current scenario, every tough action by the government will only cause its opponents to get more sympathy. For example if anyone is detained, the image would be widely circulated and swiftly, so this will create sympathy and the government would be perceived negatively,” he said.

“Maybe the prime minister has realised the problem, so he wants to be people-friendly,” he said.

However the analyst was sceptical if Najib would be able to promote openness without opposition from Umno members.

“He can say anything he wants, but can he implement them? I doubt the implementation would be successful,” said Ahmad Nizamuddin.

In fact many believe he was “under orders” to help Umno – especially the hawks led by Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin and former premier Mahathir Mohamad – rally Malay support against the political opposition, in particular the Islamic-based PAS.

But in their haste to chase for fading Malay popularity, the group has also stomped on Prime Minister Najib Razak’s multiracial 1Malaysia plan, underscoring the crossroad that the nation has reached and the crucial direction it must now select.

“After 53 years of independence (from British rule) and nation-building, we still have people who propagate racism. It shows there is still fertile ground in Umno where racism is flourishing,” PKR vice president Lee Boon Chye told Malaysia Chronicle.

“If Umno continues to rule Malaysia, this is the path of destruction that the nation will be pushed into. Malaysians must make a stand – is this the sort of leadership they want? Is a closed-door racist Malaysia the sort of country they want to live in because this is what will happen? Malaysia will be shunned by the world as an apartheid nation if it doesn’t come to its senses and stop the rot.”

Namewee, whose full name is Wee Meng Chee, had lambasted a school principal Siti Inshah for hurling racist remarks at her non-Malay pupils. She told the Chinese students to return to China and likened the Indian ones to dogs. Siti Inshah was not the only one, her colleague in Kedah also made similar racist remarks a few days after her.

JOHOR BARU: Police have dismissed talk that they have arrested controversial rapper Wee Meng Chee or Namewee for allegedly posting an offensive video on popular web-sharing site YouTube.

“We have not arrested Wee as yet,” said Johor police chief Deputy Comm Datuk Mohd Mokhtar Mohd Shariff.

DCP Mohd Mokhtar said so far six police reports had been lodged against the rapper for condemning a principal who allegedly made racist statements against her non-Malay students in Kulaijaya recently.

Wee, 27, who was filming a video in Kuala Lumpur, later went to the Taman Tun Dr Ismail police station in Kuala Lumpur at about 9.15pm accompanied by his lawyer Raveen Singh to give his statement.

He came about three hours later and said he had co-operated fully with the police.

“I was not given any warning. I only gave my statement,” he said while expressing hope that people would continue to support him to speak up against racism.

MCA president Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek said freedom of expression came with responsibility and due consideration should be given to the sensitivities of other people.

He said Wee might be unhappy with whoever but he should not have used vulgar words.

“I saw the post and I must say there are a lot of vulgar words or signs being used.

“He is not only showing off his talent but he is also using uncivilised words,” he said, adding that the current post was different from the Negaraku music video clip about three years ago.

On the same note, Dr Chua said school principals should also be charged if there was proof that they had used racial remarks against their students.

He said this would send a strong signal to all as the Prime Minister had said Malaysians should reject any form of extremism in race and religion.

“A person should face the music for such a breach,” he said.

Meanwhile, Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein said action would be taken against Wee if his latest video posting was indeed stoking racial sentiments.

“I have been briefed by Deputy Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Ismail Omar and have directed the police to investigate the case from all angles,” he said yesterday.
