The History of Negaraku 2007-08-13 12:48:39 With all the furore regarding Namewee’s version of Negarakuku, found some interesting history of the Malayisa national anthem with Google.

The song which share the same melody as Negaraku and in existence far longer than the national anthem. Terang Bulan.
Rock and roll version
Listen to the last part.

Life is a journey not a destination 2007-08-12 02:41:00
Amazing by Aerosmith
I kept the right ones out
And let the wrong ones in
Had an angel of mercy to see me through all my sins
There were times in my life
When I was goin’ insane
Tryin’ to walk through the pain
When I lost my grip
And I hit the floor
Yeah, I thought I could leave, but couldn’t get out the door
I was so sick and tired
Of a livin’ a lie
I was wishin’ that I would die
It’s amazing
With the blink of an eye you finally see the light
Oho, it’s amazing
When the moment arrives that you know you’ll be alright
Yeah, it’s amazing
And I’m sayin’ a prayer for the desperate hearts tonight
That one last shot’s a permanent vacation
And how high can you fly with broken wings?
Life’s a journey, not a destination
And I just can’t tell just what tomorrow brings, yeah
You have to learn to crawl
Before you learn to walk
But I just couldn’t listen to all that righteous talk, oh yeah
I was out on the stre
Beautiful Sunday 2007-08-11 22:44:27 Beautiful
Day by U2
The heart is a bloom
Shoots up through the stony ground
There’s no room
No space to rent in this town
You’re out of luck
And the reason that you had to care
The traffic is stuck
And you’re not moving anywhere
You thought you’d found a friend
To take you out of this place
Someone you could lend a hand
In return for grace
It’s a beautiful day
Sky falls, you feel like
It’s a beautiful day
Don’t let it get away
You’re on the road
But you’ve got no destination
You’re in the mud
In the maze of her imagination
You love this town
Even if that doesn’t ring true
You’ve been all over
And it’s been all over you
It’s a beautiful day
Don’t let it get away
It’s a beautiful day
Touch me
Take me to that other place
Teach me
I know I’m not a hopeless case
See the world in green and blue
See China right in front of you
See the canyons broken by cloud
See the tuna fleets clearing the Read more:Sunday
Curious — Negarakuku 2007-08-16 09:58:25 Opps, this issue supposed to have ended and never to be brought up again. I don’t wish to stir things up but my curiosity got the better of me.
Since this controversy started, the government was the one who make hell lot of noise about it. What happen to the voice of the opposition? DAP, the Chinese dominated party has issue statement supporting Namewee and even invited him to join their rank.
No response whatsoever from PAS and Keadilan. Or maybe I haven’t come across their statement. Please enlighten me if anyone heard anything from these 2 parties.
Don’t you think the government in Malaysia is omnipotent? Jurisdiction, legislative and executive all roll into one. Can we define what is practice here as one party democracy?

The End 2007-08-15 07:04:10 Seem like this is the conclusion of the Negarakuku saga. Namewee has apologized and thats the end of the story.
Thank god that after all the controversies, no blood was shed and no racial riot happen. It just proved that the Malaysia society is mature enough to take a little satirical.
Kudos.

More from Namewee 2007-08-20 10:39:37 Kawanku by Namewee (with English sub title)
We Love Our Country; We are Malaysian and proud of it. 2007-08-18 23:43:55 The saga of Namewee and Negarakuku rumble on unabated even though it should have ended with his apology.
We are proud of our heritage and appreciate our good fortune to be born and breed in this peaceful country.
Airing our grouses openly has nothing to do with not being patriotic. It is a fact that Chinese are a minority in this country . And it is also very true that most if not all people from this ethnicity are self reliant and have great adaptability, people of Chinese descendant can choose to live anywhere in the world and still survive.
Expressing dissatisfaction over government policy or the present state of our social political landscape must not be confused with disloyalty to the country. In contrary, as I pointed out in the preceding paragraph, it will be much easier to leave the country at the first sign of dissatisfaction than stay and fight for our right or try to turn wrongs into rights.
The world today is very much different from 50 years ago when we gained our independ Read more:Country

Why can’t we buried the past and live as one? 2007-08-16 20:32:39 Awesome song, it is very true even to this day. There are still unsettled conflicts in the world.
Under the same sun by Scorpions
I saw the morning
It was shattered by a gun
Heard a scream, saw him fall, no one cried
I saw a mother
She was praying for her son
Bring him back, let him live, dont let him die
Do you ever ask yourself
Is there a heaven in the sky
Why cant we get it right
cause we all live under the same sun
We all walk under the same moon
Then why, why cant we live as one
I saw the evening
Fading shadows one by one
We watch the lamb, lay down to the sacrifice
I saw the children
The children of the sun
How they wept, how they bled, how they died
Do you ever ask yourself
Is there a heaven in the sky
Why cant we stop the fight
cause we all live under the same sun
We all walk under the same moon
Then why, why cant we live as one
Sometimes I think Im going mad
Were loosing all we had and no one seems to care
But in my heart it doesnt change
Weve got to rearrange and bring our w
Gag on Namewee, news, statements and comments relating to Negarakuku 2007-08-22 07:40:13 The Internal Security Ministry of Malaysia has issued a gag order on any news, statements and comments relating to the Negarakuku controversy. YES! You heard it right, NO MORE NEWS.
Another chunk of free speech got flush down to through the toilet bowl. Anyway, in these days with the availability of internet and broadband, the directive seem a bit comical, don’t you think so? Don’t tell me the next thing they will dream of is to ban all the people residing in Malaysia from reading and blogging.
