			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Berita Harian is reporting about Namewee having another song that is insulting Malays.  The article titled &#8216;Lagi lagu Meng Chee hina Melayu&#8217; is referring to Namewee&#8217;s earlier song &#8220;<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OzP5CVeQdmI">Kawanku</a>&#8221; for having insulting sentiment.</p>
<p>Out of the ~ 4 minute video, this is probably the only controversial excerpt from the song&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>Cakap lagi la Cina balik China, kalau semua balik sini bukan Malaysia, saya takut mana kamu pergi cari kerja.. tapi biasalah orang Melayu pun tak suka kerja&#8230; semua masuk hutan hidung macam sakai.</p></blockquote>
<p>Think whatever you like about the phrase, I don&#8217;t want to talk about it.</p>
<p>What irritates me is how Berita Harian is trying to raise racial tension among Malaysians.  They are doing their best to raise anger from Malays against a fellow Malaysian, a Chinese unfortunately.</p>
<p>As mentioned in my earlier post about <a href="http://yeinjee.com/malaysia/2007/namewee-wanted-under-sedition-act/">Namewee&#8217;s saga</a>&#8230; I strongly felt that the local press is doing more damage to racial harmony than Namewee himself by publishing irresponsible news articles.</p>
<p>The editors of Berita Harian should be mature enough to know that the article would raise uneasiness to the society, and they still chose to do so.  Aren&#8217;t these people supposed to be charged under seditious act instead?</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t even try to tell me that it&#8217;s press freedom or that it&#8217;s their responsibility to publish the facts.  Namewee&#8217;s Negarakuku video is based on facts as well, but it is improper because some facts are not meant to be published.</p>
<p>Facts can be seditious as well&#8230; if Namewee is to be charged with seditious act, the Berita Harian editors shouldn&#8217;t receive any punishment less than Namewee.  As far as I am concerned, Berita Harian is doing much more damage then Namewee&#8217;s videos did.</p>
