Namawae on Malaysia’s 51st Merdeka Day

Malaysia July 14th, 2008


Who living in Malaysia would not recognize his name? Wee Meng Chee or better known as Namawae was on everyone’s lips since his controversial video clip on YouTube (a parody of Malaysia’s national anthem). The rap clip Negaraku, he produced created an uproar and gotten himself into trouble. The clip has then been taken down from YouTube.



This time around, the 25 year old rebel is now ready for another shot of fame. To commemorate Malaysia’s 51st Merdeka Day (National Day) which is on August 31st, he and another 4 of his friends are going shoot a documentary of Malaysians living abroad, recording the well wishes and also gather their signatures of those that could not make it back to homeland. The project will start while they are traveling from Hong Kong through Macau, southern China, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and Thailand before arriving in Malaysia. The project will take on for a whole month starting from July 31st to August 31st.

The young man had already composed a suitable song entitled Wo Yao Hui Jia (I Want to Go Home) and video clip that will be uploaded to YouTube. Those living in Macau, southern China, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and Thailand and are interested to contribute can contact him at namewee@gmail.com.

I will definitely look forward to the new clip.
