Negaraku-ku versi Bahasa Malaysia

Negaraku-ku

Negaraku Negarakuku
Negaraku Negarakuku
Negaraku Negarakuku

Saya cintai negara saya
Ada negara baru ada keluarga
Ada keluarga baru ada saya
Berdiri di sini nyanyi lagu untuk anda
Jangan takut saya
Biarpun tiap tiap kali saya cakap kasar

Laguku bagai durian yang berduri keras
Terpulang kepada anda
Berani tak buka mata
Lihat isi sebenarnya
Bau busuk ataupun bau wangi
Terpulang kepada hidung anda

Polis kita panggil mata
Sebab mata mereka amat tajam
Tahun baru mereka rajin bekerja
Pegang pen tulis saman tapi buat buat saja
Mereka dahaga perlu minum teh la
Kopi O nak tambah gula tak
Kalau tambah gula mulutnya manis senyum sama anda
Bila nak pergi dia ucapkan TaTa

Negaraku tanah tumpahnya darahku
Rakyat hidup
Bersatu dan maju

Gejala ini tak perlu ubah
Tak perlu diperbaiki juga
Polis dan rakat bekerjasama
Secawan kopi hubungan kita erat
Aku suka sangat
Balik rumah takkan kena saman
(jika tidak) Bapaku tentu akan tulan (marah)
Saya tentu kena rotan
Tiada kereta bagi aku bawa
Macam mana
Kali ini teruk la
Tiada kereta macam mana aku keluar bersuka ria
Tiada kereta macam mana aku berasmara ka luar
Tiada kereta macam mana aku pergi tengok ah kua (pondan)

Negara ni saya suka sangat
Pukul lima pagi morning call saya
Ada kala nyanyi bersama-sama
Bila dengar bagai duet lagu cinta
Suara putar-putar macam R&B saja
Ada kala nyanyi sampai key salah
Ada kala nyanyi sampai suara serak
Ada juga suara macam ayam jantan
Tapi bangun lebih awal la
Macam ni kami tahu tiba masa untuk sekolah dan kerja

Jangan salah kerajaan hanya jaga bumiputera
Jangan salah kita tak dijaga saksama
Ini bukti kita orang Cina tak takut hidup susah
Ini baru dapat kita cari jalan keluar dari dilemma
Jangan ingat standard mereka aneh sangat
Sebab sebaliknya menonjol kita hebat
Anak tak dimanja baru boleh berdikar
Sebab tu kau lihat orang belum putus susu masih ada

Rahmat Bahgia
Tuhan kurniakan
Raja kita selamat bertahta

Rahmat bahgia
Tuhan kurniakan
Raja kita selamat bertahta

Kerani jabatan kerajaan lagi hebat
Mereka buat apa-apa pun lambat-lambat
Biar orang tunggu sampai cau lelai (bau busuk, marah)
Mood mereka masih relax saja
Ada kala ambil kuih keluar juga
Dia makan kuihnya
Kau baris tunggu saja
Biar kau marah dia cau lelai pun tak apa
Sebab guard sedang mimpi ka sebelah
Dia takkan peduli kau punya

Mereka tutup kepala
Jalan perlahan-lahan melintas jalan
Kau yang pandu mesti beri laluan
Yang paling penting hidup gembira
Yang paling penting hidup selesa
Jangan macam orang Cina
Hari hari sibuk saja
Begitu susah payah
Semangat ini kita hormat
Sebab itulah gaya hidup mereka

Gaya hidup~

Lagu ini aku cakap baik sahaja
Kau yang tulan (marah) saya sekarang mesti suka saya
Dunia sungguh aman
Penuh dengan harapan
Tiada orang cedera
Tiada huru-hara
Kau sungguh suci
Kau sungguh anggun
Tahi bau wangi
Tak maki-maki kasar
Kamu sumua paling high class
Tiap-tiap hari romantic saja
Dengar lagu Michael & Victor
Tapi mereka dah pergi Taiwan

Pelajar sekolah Cina habis sekolah
Nak masuk local U sangat susah
Tapi kita tak patut tulan (marah)
Sebab ini projek kerajaan yang gagah
Mau kita pergi sini sana
Cari harapan ka luar negara
Menimba ilmu balik membangun negara
Projek ini begitu sempurna
Tiada komen lagi dah
Rata-rata dunia ni ada anak Malaysia
Macam lari mala petaka
Memang syoknya

2007 Tahun Lawat Malaysia
Budaya Cina dibawa keluar buat promosi jua
(Tapi) Sekolah Cina kerajaan langsung tak kisah
Sijil dibuang ke dalam longkang
Macamlah saya pergi ke Taiwan selepas habis sekolah
Menimba ilmu balik membangun negara
Diri ka tepi jalan Taipei main guitar saya
Mulut saya nyanyi tetap

Rahmat bahgia
Tuhan kurniakan
Raja kita selamat bertahta

Sungai Buloh Leprosy Settlement Need Your Help!

Living Legacy by LIM YONG LONG

The Sungai Buloh Leprosy Settlement represents man’s triumph over the disease and is a reminder of how a group of people lived together in isolation, transcending colour and creed.

SEVENTY-seven years ago, in an isolated valley of Bukit Lagong, Sungai Buloh, Selangor, a group of Malays, Chinese, Indians and Eurasians set up a contained community. They lived in harmony and interdependently of each other.

They were leprosy patients, sent to live in the Sungai Buloh Leprosy Settlement, where they found hope and dignity. It was a haven that allowed them to re-define themselves as human beings and enabled them to make friends and sustain friendships, express their feelings, form families and be individuals who contributed to their own community.

From the time it was built in 1930, Sungai Buloh was one of the biggest leprosy settlements in the-then British Empire, and the second biggest in the world. It was equipped with advanced facilities and planned following the principals of a garden city. It was a pioneer project based on the “enlightened policy” of segregating leprosy patients in a self-supporting community. Over the years, the settlement also became a research centre for leprosy.

（雙溪毛糯訊）雙溪毛糯痲瘋病院院方已接到內閣批准瑪拉工藝大學繼續發展東區的指示，承包商的拆建工程再次如火如荼地展開。當地居民對東區停建又重拆的實際情況並不知情，令老居民感到諷刺的是，他們居住數十年的“家園”在人圓月圓的中秋佳節來臨之際被拆除，萬分無奈。

週二（25日）就是中秋節，許多非政府組織和善心人士紛紛趕到痲瘋病院捐獻食物和日常用品給年邁的居民們。《光明日報》週日前往痲瘋病院，發現東區居民在一片拆建工程的聲浪下迎接中秋節。

雖然是公共假期，但瑪拉工藝大學的承包商似乎因工程停頓多時，而展開趕工式的拆建工程，東區扣留所和一些空屋不斷有羅里和工友前來拆除和搬運屋頂屋瓦。

居民反對也沒用

一群聚集在痲瘋院中區外等待領取捐贈品的公公婆婆們告訴記者，他們在過去一週看見有羅里和神手出入，並有多名工友正在拆除東區建筑物。

他們說，他們較早前獲知政府（文化、藝術及文物部）已下令拆建停工，但是，他們不知拆建工程為何又复工。不過，他們聽聞有關的發展計劃已經獲准繼續展開興建工程。

居民並非反對發展工程繼續進行，即使他們作出反對也沒有用，因為居民們的生活起居需依靠政府撥款資助。

東區古蹟被拆行善者感遺憾

常在佳節期間捐獻食品和衣物給痲瘋病院逾300孤老長達14年的莊紅記（50歲）指出，由於他和親友經常至痲瘋院行善，所以，她對當地的居民及建筑物有濃厚的感情，並認為東區的古蹟被拆除是大馬文物歷史的一大遺憾。

她週日與數名不願上報的善心人士一同到痲瘋院捐助時向記者提出，她非常關注痲瘋院東區被拆除和發展計劃，因為她為東區的居民去向如何感到擔憂。

她也在一名居民帶領下，與記者乘車到東區一遊，並一一向記者指出東區教堂、鐵廠、“屋仔”、拆建中的扣留所及空屋所在地。

她提出，痲瘋病院當年的設備，如診療所、修車場、教堂、墓園等非常齊全，至今還有部份設備仍在提供服務，是一個非常稀見和豐富歷史的地方。

她認為，居住在病院裡的居民大多是沒有親友前來探望的老年病患，因此，她在十多年前發願要盡力協助這群孤老。“這些病人已沒有親人可投靠了，連他們唯一的家園被拆掉也沒有人前來捍衛和協助，而我們又可以怎樣呢？”

她說，她和其他善心同志將繼續協助有需要的居民們，並定時在佳節時期到病院來捐獻，以發揮關愛社會及弱勢群體的精神。

老婦：從小搬進來住痲瘋院像我家

現年75歲的晶碗（譯音）受詢時指出，她從小就搬進痲瘋院居住，一直都沒有親友前來探訪，只有和病院裡幾個同病相憐的朋友互相照顧，所以，痲瘋病院東區就像她的家一樣。

她說，她和數名“姐妹”各自住在東區山頂的“屋仔”，由於大家的“屋仔”距離不遠，一旦發生問題需要幫忙時，她只需要大喊就能把鄰居給召來了。

她聲稱，院方曾答應居住在屋仔的居民會在中區舊式屋仔修復後讓她們遷入居住，因此，他們並不擔心居住的問題。“東區要拆除，我們真的感到很不舍得，畢竟那裡是我們住了幾十年的地方，一切都感到習慣了。”

她提出，即使他們對屋仔依依不舍，但也沒有辦法，因為他們都是“寄人籬下”的弱勢族群。转载光明日報‧2007.09.23

The Power of Web2.0

Former deputy prime minister and finance minister of Malaysia, Dato' Seri Anwar bin Ibrahim post a blog with the title Kenyataan Media: Pendedahan Skandal Video Perbualan VK Lingham at Anwar Ibrahim recently. He also post the video on YouTube.

Klip audio ini menunjukkan VK Lingam bercakap tentang penglibatannya bersama dengan Vincent Tan dan Mahathir dalam mempengaruhi keputusan kes Anwar Ibrahim.

Have Malaysian found their way escape from government controlled mass media to take some fresh air outside? I am trying to think this deeply through the Web2.0 perspective. Malaysian bloggers and YouTubers are HOT nowadays, they always call themselves "The Truth Speaker", Meng Chee has a become an icon for it. With Meng Chee's Negarakuku singing all around the country after he was being utilized by political parties for their own politic sake, it does coherence the people who are looking forward for a brighter future of Malaysia too.

Many also took a chance to do some refection on Malaysia's development after 50 years of independent. More and more facts, including the real Independence Day is actually on 16 September 1963, are popping out recently on the internet, blog and dug by bloggers and anonymous. When government representatives are calling bloggers as liars through mass media, they become more and more like the boy who cried wolf.

So, are bloggers all good people? NO! Bloggers are just like you and me and she and he, we are all creation of God; human beings, we are angles and devils; we do charity and we tell white lies too. The lesson to learn is morality, in other words, your justification standard, how mature you are. As anak-anak bangsa Malaysia's intelligence are growing (thanks to Tun Mahathir who introduced 3M education, Membaca, Menulis dan Mengira, we read and post blogs now), the nation were not stupid like what their governments thought.

My Merdeka ;)

I wake up early in the morning today and sing Negaraku :) Happy Merdeka Day to you & me! I made myself a home video, a video-log for this special 50th birthday. It is quite meaningful moment for myself. Well, for quite couple of reasons you know, like doing reflection on the meaning of Merdeka, about namewee incident and racial problems and politics and so on. And ya, for meeting some nice people while blogging on namewee issue.

Oh, and of cause, I did remember to wear my black shirt today as well ;)



p/s: Due to YouTube is currently down for uploading video, I use DivShare. (I love their service!)
p/p/s: You got a video-log on Merdeka too? Share with me ya!

A Warning to Namawee by Terrorist?

A YouTube video was uploaded with the title "warning to namawee" by tolaba4. I feel that this video is more even insulting Islam and the name of Allah. I believe that making a direct link between Islam and terrorism is totally a propaganda. We love Malaysia, for peace sake, we should kick away those terrorist.

p/s: Please make a police report after you watch the clip.

Looking back to look ahead

An interview with Mr. Lim Kit Siang: Looking back to look ahead ©The Sun
Thursday, 23 August 2007, 08:33am

Everywhere we go we proclaim that we are a multi-racial and multi-religious Malaysia with the various races living peacefully together. But this, as you said just now, is not internalised, not spoken from the heart. But what can we do?

I think the leadership should set an example with all institutes and organisation in society following them from behind. To internalise the diversity in this country you must be sincere and faithful to these fundamental principals.

Actually when we started we never established clear directions on what nation-building entails. There was no road map on how we are going to build up this nation. Do you think we need something like that, to have an actual road map on what we are going to do.

The general principles have always been there. There is the social contract which says we are a democratic, multi-religious, multi-racial, progressive country where Islam is the official religion of the Federation but not an Islamic state.

We have the formula. Not true to say we do not have a formula. But it so happen that those in authority are seemingly moving further and further away from this basic formula.

Even those at the top are seemingly reluctant to admit that Malaysia is now a secular state even though the courts have declared so.

You know for 44 years we can see that there is no questioning that Malaysia is a secular state. Islam is the official religion, it is not an Islamic state. There were instances of course when there were marginal peripheral voices asking that we move towards an Islamic state. They were not in the mainstream. But now the whole thing seems to have been reversed.

Those who call for the the secular state have been marginalised and regarded as a periphery and those who feel that Malaysia is an Islamic state has now occupied the mainstream.

How did this change take place? This is a whole question of a tectonic shift in nation-building. And now these things cannot be talked about, cannot be discussed even. I don’t think this will solve any problem.

Many things seem to be so sensitive now that they have been taken out of public discussion. Is this healthy?

No. But why is it happening? If we can have public discussion on a social contract in 1956 and 1957, why can’t we have a public discussion as to why this social contract must be maintained, and should be reaffirmed? Everybody talks about social contract, today, but behind closed doors.

It is important to remember that this social contract is not the property of the ruling parties. It is a heritage and legacy of all Malaysians and all Malaysians today have a right to give input on the status of a social contract today.

It is going to be totally lacking in credibility if discussions on this social contract are held behind closed doors.

Every Malaysian should be involved. It cannot be something that you can go to a corner and discuss it in the closet. Where is participatory democracy? You are now shutting down avenues of expression.

'Negarakuku': Enough! ministry tells media

Malaysiakini : The Internal Security Ministry has directed the mainstream media to stop publishing reports related to the ‘Negarakuku’ controversy.

This was confirmed by the ministry’s Publications Control and Al-Quran Texts Unit senior officer Che Din Yusof.

“Yes, the directive was issued today,” he said when contacted. “What more is there for the papers to write? Enough is enough.

“There are so many other things that can bring benefit to the nation, why focus on this issue and bring in other points? He (Wee Meng Chee) has already apologised,” he added.

However, Che Din said the media can still report on comments made by Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi and his deputy Najib Abdul Razak on the issue.

Raise tensions

Meanwhile, Che Din justified the ministry’s move in issuing the directive on the grounds that the issue can raise tensions in the country.

“(If we keep talking about it) it will raise tensions, do you know that?

“You as an emotional layman can say anything, If I wasn’t a civil servant, I can say anything too. It’s too polemic already in the newspapers,” he said.

According to him, political leaders, NGOs and Wee himself can no longer have their statements published in the newspapers.

As for the exception given to the prime minister and his deputy, Che Din said the statements made by these leaders are aimed at "fixing the situation".

Asked whether there is a similar ban on the broadcast media, he said: “Those belong to other ministries but if it was under (my ministry), I would order them to stop (broadcasting the Negarakuku issue too).

Utusan Malaysia Online - Terkini

Utusan Malaysia Online - : MCA bersetuju Meng Chee dihukum

PETALING JAYA 21 Ogos - MCA bersetuju dengan gesaan pelbagai pihak supaya tindakan undang-undang dikenakan terhadap Wee Meng Chee kerana mencipta klip video menghina lagu Negaraku dengan menggunakan bahasa kasar dan lucah.

Naib Presiden parti itu, Datuk Seri Dr. Chua Soi Lek berkata, persetujuan itu selaras dengan prinsip parti berkenaan bahawa perkataan lucah dan yang menyentuh sensitiviti kaum dan agama tidak boleh digunakan semata-mata atas nama kebebasan.

'Kita berharap kerajaan mengambil tindakan tegas kepada sesiapa yang melanggar prinsip ini dan kita serahkan kepada kebijaksanaan Peguam Negara untuk menyiasat dengan lebih terperinci mengenai apa tindakan yang seharusnya dikenakan,' katanya.

Beliau yang juga Menteri Kesihatan berkata demikian kepada pemberita selepas mewakili Timbalan Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak merasmikan Kongres Patologi dan Makmal Perubatan Sedunia Ke-24 di sini, hari ini.

Sebelum ini, akhbar-akhbar melaporkan Meng Chee meminta maaf kepada kerajaan dan rakyat Malaysia yang tersinggung dengan penyiaran lagu yang diberi tajuk `Negarakuku’ itu.

Meng Chee juga dilaporkan telah mencipta sebuah lagi lagu bertajuk Kawanku/My Friends yang terang-terangan menghina kaum Melayu.

Susulan itu, Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi menegaskan proses undang-undang terhadap Meng Chee, 24, pelajar tahun akhir jurusan Komunikasi Awam sebuah universiti di Taiwan akan diteruskan walaupun dia sudah meminta maaf secara terbuka.

Dalam pada itu, Soi Lek berkata, beberapa kenyataan pemimpin MCA sebelum ini supaya kes itu diselesaikan setelah Meng Chee meminta maaf tidak harus disalah tafsir bahawa parti itu mempertahankan orang yang menggunakan perkataan lucah serta memperalatkan agama dan kaum.

'Ini tidak benar kerana kita menghormati prinsip saling hormat menghormati dalam sebuah negara majmuk dan kita bersetuju tindakan diambil bukan sahaja terhadap Meng Chee malah kepada sesiapa yang melanggar undang-undang dan menggugat keharmonian antara kaum,' tegasnya.

Beliau menjelaskan, pihaknya mahu isu itu diselesaikan segera kerana bimbang ia diperalatkan oleh pihak tidak bertanggungjawab termasuk parti pembangkang demi kepentingan politik mereka.

M for Merdeka

V: Good evening, London. Allow me first to apologize for this interruption. I do, like many of you, appreciate the comforts of every day routine - the security of the familiar, the tranquility of repetition. I enjoy them as much as any bloke. But in the spirit of commemoration, thereby those important events of the past usually associated with someone's death or the end of some awful bloody struggle, a celebration of a nice holiday, I thought we could mark this November the 5th, a day that is sadly no longer remembered, by taking some time out of our daily lives to sit down and have a little chat. There are of course those who do not want us to speak. I suspect even now, orders are being shouted into telephones, and men with guns will soon be on their way. Why? Because while the truncheon may be used in lieu of conversation, words will always retain their power. Words offer the means to meaning, and for those who will listen, the enunciation of truth. And the truth is, there is something terribly wrong with this country, isn't there? Cruelty and injustice, intolerance and oppression. And where once you had the freedom to object, to think and speak as you saw fit, you now have censors and systems of surveillance coercing your conformity and soliciting your submission. How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror. I know why you did it. I know you were afraid. Who wouldn't be? War, terror, disease. There were a myriad of problems which conspired to corrupt your reason and rob you of your common sense. Fear got the best of you, and in your panic you turned to the now high chancellor, Adam Sutler. He promised you order, he promised you peace, and all he demanded in return was your silent, obedient consent. Last night I sought to end that silence. Last night I destroyed the Old Bailey, to remind this country of what it has forgotten. More than four hundred years ago a great citizen wished to embed the fifth of November 31st of August forever in our memory. His hope was to remind the world that fairness, justice, and freedom are more than words, they are perspectives. So if you've seen nothing, if the crimes of this government remain unknown to you then I would suggest you allow the fifth of November 31st of August to pass unmarked. But if you see what I see, if you feel as I feel, and if you would seek as I seek, then I ask you to stand beside me one year from tonight, outside the gates of Parliament, and together we shall give them a fifth of November 31st of August that shall never, ever be forgot. People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people. Strength through unity, unity through faith! I am V. At last you know the truth. You're stunned, I know. It's hard to believe, isn't it, that beneath this wrinkled, well-fed exterior there lies a dangerous killing machine with a fetish for Fawkesian masks. Vive la revolution!

Silence

On August 21, 07 3:16 pm
Following the "Islamic State" issue, the Internal Security Department (SSD) re-issued verbal instructions forbidding the mainstream media to discuss the controversial issue heated.

Today at the Ministry of mainstream newspapers, verbal instructions are now available can no longer follow-up report, "I love my country Negarakuku" that the adaptation of the national anthem, only Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi and Deputy Prime Minister Najib's remarks on this topic can report.- google translate

國安部禁跟進改編國歌爭議　報章只能報導正副首相言論
黃淩風
07年8月21日 下午3:16

繼“回教國”課題之後，國內安全部（國安部）再度發出口頭指令，禁止主流媒體討論具爭議性的熾熱課題。

國安部今日致電主流報章，口頭指示即日起不可再跟進報導《我愛我的國家 Negarakuku》改編國歌的議題，惟有首相阿都拉巴達威及副首相納吉對此議題的言論才可以報導。

國安部屬下的刊物管制及可蘭經小組秘書仄丁尤索（Che Din Yusof）今午在接受《當今大馬》詢問時，證實該部已經致電，傳達有關禁令給予國內主流報章。

“是的（Confirm)，確有此事。為何還要繼續寫？足夠就是足夠啦，還有許多其他對國家有益的事情，為何要把焦點放在這個問題上？”

他表示，既然黃明志已經公開道歉，那麼目前是時候讓此課題平息下來。

消息透露，國安部除了致電口頭指示不可再跟進報導《我愛我的國家 Negarakuku》的議題之外，也不准許主流報章繼續報導“學校販賣部管理指南”風波一事。

據悉，主流報章的編輯及記者早已被通知說，在評論黃明志事件時，要懂得“避重就輕”。

國安部近期兩度發出禁令

這也是國安部在近期兩度發出口頭禁令給主流報章。國安部曾在上個月，當副首相納吉公開發表“馬來西亞是回教國，從來不曾是世俗國”的談話而引起馬華公會、律師公會及民間組織的強烈反彈後，就指示報章不能再刊登除了首相及副首相以外的人士對“回教國”議題的評論。

過去數周，因發表《我愛我的國家Negarakuku》饒舌歌曲，並加插國歌為副歌的黃明志倍受馬來文報章和巫統高官，鞭撻侮辱國歌以及觸及種族宗教敏感課題。

黃明志雖然事後已經透過馬華副總會長蔡細曆作出公開道歉。但是首相阿都拉卻指出，內閣雖然接受其道歉，不過仍須要面對法律的制裁，並指示總檢察署進行調查。內閣的這項秋後算帳決定，已經引起許多民間團體和華社的譁然及不滿。

拒披露禁令是否來自部長

今日在接受電話詢問時，仄丁尤索也拒絕透露有關指示來自部長或哪位副部長，“為何還要知道？（來自）是國安部就夠了”。

他解釋說，如果繼續炒作有關課題，將會引起社會緊張氣氛。

“如果你是平常人，當情緒高漲時，你將會破口大駡。就算是我本身，如果不是身為公務員，我也可以發表各種言論。”

Ya, technologies does inspire our lifes nowadays, they connecting people and give us the beats, wonderful.

Kindly share your stories here, let us know how the way you get involved! :)

黃明志樂觀國歌風波終會平息

Wee said: "Right from the start, I felt I should go through the legal channel as they only wanted to play up the issue."

"That's my stand right from the beginning. If I had to apologise, I will only apologise by the law," he said. " I will not apologise to anybody. These people are just playing a lot of things at my back."

"They have their own agenda, I can't help it. You see, the general election is drawing nearer, so is Merdeka. They have their own kind of pressure."

"I have apologised and yet the matter cannot be resolved, they must have a lot of explanation to do... to the Malays, to the the people who are against me."

若親自處理爭議重點不是道歉　黃明志樂觀國歌風波終會平息
黃淩風
07年8月20日 下午2:17

獨家專訪

網路創作歌手黃明志表示, 本身的確希望親自回國解決《我愛我的國家》一曲所引發的爭議，但是由於沒有足夠的金錢購買飛機票回國，因此只好依靠父親黃安熙代為處理。

黃明志強調，如果他身在國內處理此事，將不會把重點放在道歉和認錯上；反之，會儘量讓更多人聆聽和瞭解其歌詞的真正意思。

“我不會把重點放在有沒有錯、錯在哪里和要不要道歉，我將把重心放在裏面的歌詞，你們聽懂了沒有，還是只是聽到回教就跳腳要打人？我在撰寫這首歌時，根本不是衝動，我的確是寫了很久。”

“如果人在馬來西亞的話，我會儘量讓人家聽我的歌詞，不會讓人家判我有沒有罪。我會讓人家去想想看這首歌是不是真的，還有（《我的朋友》歌曲出現）所謂的粗話是不是有其他的人在罵？是不是不寫那首歌就全世界不會罵粗話呢？是不是不唱出那些東西，就變成是蓋住了？”

“尊重父親的處理方式”

目前在臺灣銘傳大學就讀傳媒系的黃明志，今早在接受《當今大馬》越洋電訪時無奈地表示，由於他需要留在臺灣打暑假工賺取學費，因此無法親自回國處理此事。

“我很想處理，可是我沒有錢飛回去，我在做工，要賺學費，要開學了。我也沒有想過要解決什麼，對任何結果都可以接受。是否道歉不是重點，可是這是我爸爸他們處理的方式，我只好尊重啦。”

針對其父親表示對馬華有信心解決此事，黃明志回應說，“是我爸爸對他們都信心，我又沒有講過。如果是我處理，肯定會用本身的方法處理”。

“可是現在我沒有在馬來西亞，沒錢可以回去處理。我叫我爸爸不要處理，但是沒有辦法，一定要用人幫我處理。我爸爸只能夠靠他自己處理，所以他要怎麼處理，我不能干涉。你問我有沒有信心，我沒有話講，我不敢講有沒有信心，因為不是由我所處理的。”

“我不同意也沒有辦法，不能做什麼。如果我一直講不要，那麼不是變成他一直給人家騷擾。我只是要把事情蓋下來，讓他繼續過平淡的生活而已。我爸爸的生活也很麻煩，也被我弄得很亂。”

否認《我的朋友》侮辱巫裔

針對馬來文報章《每日新聞》前日指他的另一首創作歌曲《我的朋友》也帶有侮辱馬來人的意味，黃明志則矢口否認。

他表示，這首在今年3、4月間創作的歌曲，主要是綜合其身邊人士的一般想法，沒有侮辱馬來人的意思。

“這不是我的想法，是從小到大人家一直在講的東西，我只是整理起來變成歌詞。朋友、親戚和咖啡店裏頭大家討論的東西，沒有什麼了不起。”

受詢及為何創作《我的朋友》歌曲時，黃明志簡單表示，“歌曲前面第一句話有講了，已經解釋了”。

這首饒舌的《我的朋友》歌曲，是以六種語言包括華語、馬來語、英語和其他方言等唱出，歌曲一開始即表示：“先講啊，這首歌是我寫爽的啊，要聽就不要賭懶”。

不是每一首創作都有粗口

黃明志否認《我愛我的國家》和《我的朋友》歌詞“太凶”及狂傲，因此容易得罪別人。

“哪里會？Negarakuku很軟耶，只是敏感而已，並不會凶。每首歌的旋律不一樣，這首歌的風格就是如此，我不可能寫軟軟的歌詞，我是跟著風格走的。我不可能拿《我的朋友》的旋律來唱情歌，這就是創作。”

針對許多人不同意其歌曲中出現粗口，黃明志卻有不同的看法，並且認為粗口問題其實是見仁見智。

“我很多的首歌都沒有用粗口，我寫了300多首歌曲，只有兩、三首用到粗口。你覺得它是粗口，它就是粗口；你覺得它只是普通講話一部分，它就是講話的一部分。我又不是每首歌都這樣寫，我也沒有特地要強調粗口。”

認為一開始就應走法律途徑

針對雖然內閣已經接受其道歉，但是依然要接受總檢察署的調查時，黃明志回應說，案件已經交給總檢察署，就由有關方面去處理。

“我覺得從頭開始就應該走法律途徑，只是他們拿來耍而已。我一開始的立場就是，如果要道歉，我只會跟法律認錯，不會跟其他人認錯，只是他們在背後耍一大堆招數而已。”

“他們有本身的目的，我也沒有辦法。大選要到了，國慶日也要到了，他們也有他們的壓力。”

其言下之意是否意味著《我愛我的國家》被炒作具有政治目的？黃明志不願正面回應，“大家心知肚明就好了”。

不過，黃明志還是樂觀相信，此事最終能夠獲得解決。

“不管有沒有事，他們還是要跟馬來人，或者那些極力反對我的人交待一下。不可能在我道歉之後就什麼事都沒有了。我覺得一定會有解決的方法。我如此道歉不會馬上解決問題，他們一定有他們要交待的事情。”

Berita Harian Online - Jualan secara terbuka CD di Muar perlekeh Bumiputera

Berita Harian Online - Ilmu & Maklumat (Malaysia) s8.emedia.com.my: "Lagi lagu Meng Chee hina Melayu Oleh Junita Mat Rasid

Jualan secara terbuka CD di Muar perlekeh Bumiputera, cetus isu perkauman

MUAR: Pelajar Malaysia di sebuah universiti di Taiwan, Wee Meng Chee, yang didakwa menghina lagu Negaraku dan menyentuh sensitiviti umat Islam dan orang Melayu, dikesan turut menghasilkan sebuah lagi lagu bertajuk Kawanku/My Friends yang turut menghina orang Melayu.

Lagu Kawanku/My Friends itu, antara dua lagu Meng Chee yang dimuatkan dalam cakera padat (CD) cetak rompak yang dikesan dijual di sebuah pusat beli-belah, dekat sini. Selain lagu itu, CD berkenaan turut memuatkan lagu Negaraku yang diubah suai.

CD itu dipercayai dirakamkan secara haram oleh syarikat atau individu tertentu yang mengambil kesempatan berikutan isu itu sedang hangat diperkatakan.

Kedua-dua lagu itu menjadi lagu pertama dan kedua dalam CD berkenaan itu iaitu lagu Negaraku dimainkan selama lima minit 46 saat, manakala lagu kedua dinyanyikan selama empat minit tujuh saat.

Lagu Kawanku/My Friend berentak rap itu dinyanyikan menggunakan bahasa Mandarin, Melayu dan Inggeris.

Antara liriknya dalam bahasa Melayu, "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... semua masuk hutan hidung macam sakai.

"Bahasa Melayu saya cakap macam tahi tapi ini ialah saya punya betul feeling sudah 50 tiap-tiap hari tidur tengok hadapan la 2020".

CD itu dipamerkan secara terbuka kepada pembeli, malah lebih mengejutkan apabila lagu itu turut diperdengarkan kepada pelanggan kedai berkenaan tanpa rasa bersalah oleh pekerja kedai berkenaan.

Selain dua lagu nyanyian Meng Chee itu, CD itu turut memuatkan 19 lagi lagu penyanyi terkenal dari Hong Kong, Taiwan, Korea, Singapura dan Amerika Syarikat termasuk lagu penyanyi Gwen Stefani, Linkin Park, Selena, Sean Kingston, Christine Glass dan Goo Goo Dolls.

CD dengan tajuk dalam bahasa Mandarin yang bermaksud Carta Hits Pasar Malam itu dijual dengan harga RM7 dan turut menampilkan gambar Meng Chee yang digelapkan dan ditandakan tulisan Cina merah yang bermaksud diharamkan.

Bahagian bawah kulit muka hadapan CD itu turut tertera tulisan Mandarin yang bermaksud istimewa untuk Wee Chee Meng tajuk lagu Negaraku dan tajuk lagu Kawanku My Friends.

Tinjauan Berita Harian mendapati pekerja kedai itu tergesa-gesa menutup lagu itu apabila melihat pandangan tidak senang pelanggan dalam kedai itu, tetapi apabila ada yang bertanya mengenainya, mereka memberitahu bahawa lagu itu antara lagu dalam dimuatkan dalam CD gabungan ramai penyanyi.

Tinjauan dan pemeriksaan Berita Harian di beberapa lagi kedai CD serta kaset di sekitar bandar ini bagaimanapun mendapati setakat ini hanya sebuah kedai yang menjual CD berkenaan.

Meng Chee yang menggunakan nama samaran Namewee mencetuskan kontroversi apabila menyiarkan klip video lagu rap itu di laman web YouTube pertengahan bulan lalu.

Antara lain, lirik lagu dalam bahasa Mandarin itu mendakwa dasar kerajaan meminggirkan masyarakat Cina, memperlekehkan orang Melayu, wanita Islam bertudung dan azan Subuh.

Sebelum ini, Menteri Kebudayaan, Kesenian dan Warisan, Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim, dilaporkan berkata kementeriannya sedang mengumpul cadangan untuk dikemukakan kepada Peguam Negara dalam usaha menyekat perbuatan mencerca, memperkecilkan dan memberi gambaran buruk terhadap lagu kebangsaan.

Mengikut Akta Lagu Kebangsaan 1965, seseorang boleh didakwa jika didapati berniat mempermain, menghina dan mencerca Negaraku serta menimbulkan kemarahan orang dengan mempertikaikan lagu itu.

Kelmarin, Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi menegaskan proses undang-undang terhadap pelajar yang menghasilkan klip video kontroversi Negaraku itu, Meng Chee, diteruskan walaupun sudah meminta maaf secara terbuka Selasa lalu.

Screenshots: Negarakuku: ZAM tried to retract expose of Cabinet decisions check out at Jeff Ooi's blog.

A Star editor tipped me off in the afternoon of August 16 on why the Cabinet had decided to subject Wee Meng Chee to legal action despite having his father stage a public apology at the Health Minister's office.

Apparently, Information Minister got too excited and exposed some details of what went on during the Cabinet meeting. ZAM was quoted by the editor, who read the news filed in the system by his reporters, as having said:

"Siapa yang mahukan Wee di kenakan tindakan selepas dia minta maaf? Bukan Umno. Bukan MCA... Gerakan!"

Dr Lim Keng Yaik is the only Gerakan representative in the Cabinet.
