Another song to rile ‘em up?

The controversy over his first MTV-style YouTube video which mocked the national anthem and apparently belittling Islam is still raging.

And now another video clip of rapper Wee Meng Chee has cropped up again.

This time it is titled Kawanku and also has some strong lyrics.

It contains words such as (as translated):

'Talk some more lah/Chinese go back to China/If all go back ah/This would not be Malaysia/I fear where you will find work/But it's usual lah Malays also don't like to work/All go into the jungle/Live like Sakai.'

And this four-minute rap song ends with:

'But this is my true feeling/It's already been 50 years/Sleeping every day/Look forward lah/2020.'

Just like the first version – Negarakuku – this song too is hit in YouTube – there are more than one version out there! This is just one of them.

So, will the government continue to act “rationally and not emotionally”? (forgive me for paraphrasing foreign minister syed hamid albar).

Or would his citizenship be revoked as demanded by various partisan quarters?
