Rapper Namewee not racist but "grossly misunderstood": Nazri
KUALA LUMPUR: Controversial rapper Namewee is not a racist but a young man who has been "grossly misunderstood" and misrepresented by the media.
"He has done nothing wrong which may be considered an offence under any laws in this country," Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz told a press conference at his office in Parliament here Thursday.
The rapper, whose name is Wee Meng Chee, was also present.
Wee had previously made a video, using obscene language, criticising a headmistress in Kulaijaya who allegedly made racist remarks during a school assembly on Aug 12.
Although many were upset that no action was taken against Wee over the clip, Nazri said he had looked into the case and agreed with the Attorney-General's Chambers that Wee had not committed any chargeable offence.
"The only person who can take any action against him is the headmistress as she is the only aggrieved party," he said.
Nazri added that Wee was not even a politician and should not be "dragged into something that he didn't want to be involved in at the first place".
"He's only interested in music and how it can spread messages to his peers," Nazri said.
"He has explained to me what he has done and I think he has potential. If we can help him, he will be able to become an artiste one day," he added.
Nazri said Wee fully supported the 1Malaysia concept propagated by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.
On Wee wanting to meet Najib after being denied funds by the National Film Development Corporation (Finas) to make a 1Malaysia-themed movie, Nazri said he would inform the Prime Minister about the matter during the Cabinet meeting Friday.
Wee later read out a statement to the press, saying he was a patriotic Malaysian and expressing regret that the mainstream media had highlighted his controversial videos, instead of others which showed his love for the country.
"I admit that some of the videos are controversial but I have no intention of hurting anybody's feelings. If I have offended anybody, please accept my apology," he said, adding that he had no political agenda.
tunku : bravo nazri....you are the best minister in najib's cabinet. we hope the people will show their love to you in this coming GE. i just wish the people will spit on his face. we hope najib will not see this idiot namewee , do not anger the people.just shut nazri's mouth before he opens it to talk to you about namewee.

These two idiots should be barred from public speaking or media coverage at any time or places in Malaysia.
It is a waste of public taxpayers money!
" hahha yo,,yo hanya orang gila yang menegenal sigila'peribahasa rappers
Hahaha. Nazri just a laughing stock for a moment. If he really stands on what he said bfore about being a "Malaysian first", he should just ignore this Nameweep bcos of his damaging antics on 'Negaraku'. Nameweep neither a "grossly misunderstood" nor "a naive person". He's just a racist-stir-unpatriotic-artist-wannabe Malaysia ever had. Just keep him in the Kamunting for his lesson to be an understanding, harmonious-friendly Malaysian citizen.
Go! Go! Go! Nazri.
Go to hell!

Sekumpulan anak yang belum matang menjawab diatas. Memang kurang ajar mengkutuk Nazri yang cuma membeli feedback aje.
yg kurang ajar ialah nazri dan yang bodoh adalah yg menyokongnya.
Nazri ni ada komisyen kot? Terpaksa ikut arahan taukeh cina agar sumber kekayaan tak terputus agaknya.
Taukeh cakap PERKASA jahat, dia patuh, taukeh cakap namewee baik ikut aje, nak jaga periuk nasi yang BESAR.
