Govt will not accept student Wee Meng Chee’s apology for his Negaraku rap video clip on YouTube, the law will take its course, says Nazri Aziz.
"To not prosecute him is not ‘on’ at all because he has committed an offence against the nation and no one, not the Cabinet or political parties, are in the position to forgive him." [...]"We cannot be like the West where you can have the underwear with the design of the Union Jack. In Britain, you can insult the Queen or the flag, I don’t care, but in this country we have laws and we cannot create a precedent where you commit an offence, apologise and get away with it." [...]
"It is not an issue of ethnicity or being racial but against national interest."
Interestingly, it was only yesterday when one of Nazri’s colleague Chua Soi Lek, Chua Soi Lek, who is also the Johor MCA chairman, said the MCA had accepted his apology and urged all Malaysians to accept Meng Chee’s apology in good faith too.
If we come down hard on every young man, there is no room for any creativity and innovativeness in this country.
"There should be room for dissent but this dissent must be within the confines of the country’s Constitution.
"He is a creative and naive young man who has not even finished his tertiary education; we cannot pass harsh judgements; he asked for forgiveness and we should be open-hearted,"
Even the Information Minister Zainuddin Maidin chipped in as a show support to MCA and urged Malaysians to accept Meng Chee’s apology.
"He is still young. We should not be too hard on him but he should learn from this, particularly in handling sensitive issues."
Now, where is the honcho of Chinese representatives Ong Ka Ting and Chan Kong Choy (too busy anyway)?
More importantly, where is the common sense when someone who doesn’t understand Internet considering taking action against YouTube, a popular video sharing website owned by Google Inc.?
No wonder Aisehman was heard shouting "Bodoh! Bodoh! Bodoh!” and it’s indeed a world country of idiots.

I guess these Ministers don’t know what is internet. They don’t even bother to read that Negaraku was actually improvised from English song Mamula Moon in the first place.
To prevent themselves from making a fool out of themselves is really a difficult thing to do.
So let them be.

i vaguely remember an apology about some bocos ruckus which was not accepted by the victim… anything done?
A video on YouTube gets the attention of the entire cabinet and the Prime Minister’s Office but a whole freaking port thrown away, a bus load of casualties, and a complete collapse of a public transport monitoring system deserves an attention that is almost non-existent.
We are told earlier that we are not ready to understand a public broadcast of Parliamentary debates, not ready for a jury-based judiciary, not capable of interpreting information on new (blogs, forums and wikis) and International media correctly.
I think whoever who said that could well be probably right, if the cabinet is to represent this country, our people would probably look like they don’t even know what the word PRIORITY or IMPORTANCE means.
Fascinating, isn’t it? The Polis Di Raja Malaysia turns a blind eye to tampering with computer records at Imigresen, the criminal misuse of C4 explosives, and the unpardonable exploitation of security personnel for murderous purposes – while they are quick to interrogate Ella and her sister Jojie for allegedly enjoying a harmless erotic romp on board a yacht. I’m impressed by the audacity with which incompetent and untrustworthy men have robbed this nation of its dignity and true destiny – when I ought to be depressed.
jaywalker’s point is something missing from our cabinet. the ministers always make a big issue out of trivial matters and leave the most important issues swept under the cabinet. they are best at distracting the rakyat from the critical issues.
i have said this before. after 50 years, the country’s leaders are emphasing for over substance. this is a pariah group.

I like your last statement… Malaysia is indeed run by a bunch of idiots quite beyond redemption…
the PKA scandal and blatant corruption by UMNO/MCA in this scandal not against national interest?
blatant abuse of power by issung large number of taxi licence to one single party not against national interest?
selling Augusta for Euro 1 not against national interest?
selling of state’s assets ie Avenue for cheap under the ECM Libra-Avenue merger not against national interest?
wastage of resources by buying a new plane for the use of the PM when he calls for austerity drive not against national interest?
Did I hear from you Nazri about the above cases which are abhorrent and against national interest? Or do you want the list of such abhorrent cases to grow before you would open your mouth for once in the true spirit fro national interest. I seriously dont know how you sleep at night!
This idiots can make a monkey show for the world to see "how stupid is politician in malaysia", he is thinking about sueing Youtube ?? this is very pathetic, man how come a country can be rule by this bunch of monkey, no wonder our country cannot advance, anyway they can allow someone to insult their mother,wife and daughter with "bocor" problem and forgive with just one words, but they cannot take people for spelling out the truth about this country, all they one is people to just accept the concept of "Malaysia is great and only great" Please lah, every country also got problem only, just that a monkey will never understand this problem and don’t want to face it like a human.
