Kit Siang wants cops to explain probe on Namewee

Share
DAP’s Lim Kit Siang demanded today that the police explain the reason behind the alleged sedition probe on local rapper Wee Meng Chee.

The DAP advisor said that there was nothing seditious in Wee’s latest rap video posted on Youtube recently, in response to Kulai principal Siti Inshah Mansor who had allegedly uttered racial slurs to her students.

“The question is why are the police investigating Wee for sedition when there is nothing seditious in his latest three-minute rap … while the school principal is still scot-free for her seditious racism?” said Lim (picture) in a statement today.

Late last night Wee, better known as Namewee, posted on his Facebook page that policemen in three patrol cars came to his house in Muar to arrest him.

“3 POLICE CARS FINALLY CAME TO MY MUAR HOME TO ARREST ME***** this happened 15 minutes before our 53rd National Day Celebration, YES, I’m still here but for how long more, I don’t know ... my beloved MALAYSIA, where is our justice system?! (THIS IS NOT A JOKE),” said Wee in a message that attracted more than 3,000 comments from Facebook users.

Wee is under investigation for allegedly producing a seditious music video which was uploaded on YouTube.

The video which contains racial slurs was a reaction to the SMK Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra principal alleged racist remarks to her pupils.

He removed the video from the video sharing site following public disapproval.

Johor police denied today that they were arresting Wee over his music video.

Johor Criminal Investigation Department chief Datuk Amer Awal said they were still investigating the case and there has been no plan yet to arrest Wee, who is known as Namewee to his fans.

“Not true, not true, we are still investigating his case,” Amer told The Malaysian Insider.

“No such thing,” he added when asked if the police were looking for Namewee yesterday.

The Ipoh Timur MP questioned the purpose of the police in sending out three patrol cars to Wee’s house last night, on the eve of Merdeka.

“In this connection, the police should explain the purpose of sending three patrol cars to Wee’s house in Muar just before midnight last night – was it to arrest Wee, to get a statement from Wee or just to create an atmosphere of fear?” said Lim.

Lim mocked Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s recent promise of having a “zero tolerance” policy against racist behaviour.

“Finally, Malaysians are wondering whether when the Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Razak recently spoke of ‘zero tolerance for racism’, he was thinking of police action against Wee instead of no-holds-barred action against the real racists and extremists who had made a mockery of his 1 Malaysia slogan and policy and blighted the country’s prospects for economic rebound with incessant racist rhetoric,” said Lim.

The police is so quick to act against someone who is only mimicking the two headmistress and not the actual culprits. Not perception but stark reality of the police unfairness in handling certain matters concerning public interest. So sad.

"The question is why are the police investigating Wee for sedition when there is nothing seditious in his latest three-minute rap … while the school principal is still scot-free for her seditious racism?” said Lim (picture) in a statement today.

Has he really viewed the video? That vulgar, foul-language, banana rapping video? Did any of you actually viewed it entirely? From the looks of it, i really doubt it. Most of you would probably comment based on what was already commented. The instinct to bash should come naturally.

Yes i view entirely, nothing seditious. He just speak out the truth, what's wrong? 20 police reports has been made against Siti Inshah compare to 4 against Namewee, can you tell me why police still didn't take any action against her? If you say her case still under investigation, then why Najib doesn't want to setup special task force to investigate Namewee likes the principal case? The answer is very obvious, RACIST !

Let us go after the racists and not after the anti-racists. I take serious offense by the school principal's message but not by Namewee's message!!! As a non-partisan rakyat, am I alone with such thinking? Vote me up if you agree and down if you disagree?
