NE-GA-RA-KU

I read the newspaper about a Malaysian boy who went to Taiwan to study and rap a song and posted it on youtube.com. He managed to attract many people who watched his six minute long video. Instantly he was well known in the community as the boy who 'rap' NEGARAKU.


In my personal opininon, there is a possiblity that he was affected by what he believed and he was just trying to voice out his frustration. Well, everyone is entitled to freedom of speech with a limit. I don't think it is a crime for such a freedom.


However, the situation might get messy when someone tries to voice out on sensititve issues. Obviously we live in harmony and would like to stay that way. There are issues that are taboo and so we don't talk about it. He was there to voice out the problems that affected him.


If you notice, there was a reply to his video. Someone made a video or should I say, more like a powerpoint template to counter what he had said. It is interesting to see the updated stuff though.


I think he has succeeded in getting the attention of the public! He wanted the needed attention so that people will be able to get to see all his compositions! good idea, right?


Have fun!
