KUANTAN, Nov 17 (Bernama) -- A show of the controversial rap singer Wee Meng Chee, better known as Namewee, at an entertainment centre here on Saturday has been cancelled following objections from many quarters.The owner of the entertainment centre, who only wanted to be known as Wong, confirmed that the show would not be held and said there had been a misunderstanding.
He said the organiser of the show had approached him to rent the premises for an artiste of his and offered to pay a high rental.
He said he had not asked who the artiste was but found out that it was Namewee when a banner was hung up at the premises on Monday.
Soon after, he said, more than 30 non-governmental organisations in Pahang objected to the show by Namewee who had raised controversy for belittling the national anthem "Negaraku" over the Internet in 2007 and insulting a teacher and the Education Ministry more recently.
Wong said he was also advised by the police and the Kuantan Municipal Council to cancel the show.
A check by Bernama revealed that the entertainment centre had put up a banner announcing the cancellation of the show.
Meanwhile, in Temerloh, Pahang Umno Youth stated its strong objection to the show, saying it feared it could spark off undesirable incidents.
Its head, Abu Jimmi Samat, said there was nothing racial to the objection but it was raised because Namewee had hurt the feelings of the people before.
"We want an entertainer who has noble values and can serve as an idol for all races," he said.
tunku : there should not have cancelled the show.the show must go on and let see whether this namewee is brave enough to face the consequences. wherever he goes there will be his special "fan" that will follow him. good for him.

Wonder who is the brave organiser?
apa punya club owner, kata tak tau, ingat cerita kat KL shopping complex puluh2 tahun dulu (orang kl lama mesti tau), orang booking space public jual barang, turn out to be coffin, lepas tu nego bayar duit suruh cancel....acam dia tak tau siapa...pi lah
Di Malaysia kini semua orang main sendiwara. Minta orang buat satu peristiwa yang 'extreme' dan sendiri muncul sebagai orang yang 'moderate'. Kami boleh meraikan sesuatu peristiwa sebagi pemenang. Tetapi orang yang kalah pun bolih mengingatkan peristiwa itu dengan cara cara lain.
Anon 2:51PM,
Kita terima je lah katanya.
Bila dah tahu kenalah ambil tindakan sepatutnya - dan owner tu dah buat pun.
Ini satu contoh yg sangat baik utk diikuti oleh semua - termasuk org Islam.
Lepas nih, Namewee nak buat consert kat Penang kut. Di Kuantan tu sangaja nak cabar kerajaan Negeri.
Kita tunggu je lah.

Hahaha, cara lain tu maksudnya menghasut ke?? Orang yang buta sejarah lah orang yang senang dihasut oleh ajen2 anti-Malaysia.
Tapi orang yang celek sejarah tidak mudah ditipu dan dicucuk hidung ooiiii
namewee ni adalah lulusan sekolah china, jadi dia ni ingat orang Melayu boleh dihalau masuk hutan.
dia berani mengutuk dan mencaci sebab ada sokongan drp puaknya.
Tapi mukanya pucat lesi ketika dipanggil utk memberi penerangan, ngaku hanya "creative saje"
Nah Melayu ambik tindakan, habis pucat terus, tapi masih nak buat concert konon, macamlah bagus sangat rap dia

Well done, that's the way to show these arrogant ingrates who take their easy citizenship for granted.
Malaysia should have followed America with a Chinese Exclusion Act.
