Negarakuku: What’s next?

When SMS scam was continuously exposed to the public on blog for a few months, Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) can’t give it a f**k.
Reasons are unknown.
When student Wee Meng Chee sang Negarakuku rap in which the government alleged that the rap sung in a mixture of Mandarin and Bahasa had racially sensitive and seditious lyric, MCMC takes immediate action, starting from interviewing the Wee’s family members.
Reasons are well known.
So, when Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi said that Wee will not be exempted from possible legal action and could be charged under the Sedition Act, which carries as maximum three-year jail sentence upon conviction, I would like to send a reminder to the PM and the public.
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.
This is how progressive or otherwise f**k up we’re, what’s more when we’re going to celebrate 50th years of nationhood 10 days down the road.

I completely agree with you, our current administration has a very weird sense of ‘priority’ over matters. I’m scared to take bus for long distance travelling now

（斯里肯邦安20日訊）首相今日毫不掩飾表達對亡妻的思念，坦承常常把珍阿都拉錯叫成恩頓。
“是的，很多人都知道，我已再婚。我的新婚夫人是珍阿都拉，她和我一樣深愛著恩頓，她對恩頓的愛不比我少。”
他說，有時候當他需要東西時，或在出國公干時，都會一時忘了，把陪伴在側的珍阿都拉錯叫成恩頓。
“當我回過神來時，才知道是珍…珍是最體諒我的人，她總是告訴我，不要擔心，因為她也愛她（恩頓）。”
語畢，他深情地對著坐在台下的夫人說:“謝謝你，珍。”

Daniel aka Gallivanter’s version of Negaraku is probably even more controversial, it’s been on youtube since March: http://youtube.com/watch?v=Tdwk-XOWE1U
