黄明志 Wong Meng Chee/ Namewee

黄明志是马来西亚人，在台湾念书。不久前因为一首《麻坡的华语》，在网路上一炮而红。
Wong Meng Chee/ Namewee is Malaysian, studying now in Taiwan. Not long ago he started to become famous in internet with his song 《The Chinese in Muar》.




这首歌虽然很多粗话，但是毕竟没有特别讽刺什么人，听起来还蛮豪迈，所以备受欢迎。
Although in this song has quite a lot of dirty words, he didn't really criticise anyone. The song feels kind of gallant, that's why it's so popular.

其实他在之前也有做过一个短片介绍麻坡，但是没有这么一首短短的饶舌来得受欢迎。
Actually he had done a short movie to introduce Muar, but it's not as popular as this rap song.






后来大概是他心血来潮写了一首歌，叫《我的朋友》。
After that, he just simply write a song called 《My Friend》。




这首歌用几种语言唱，也说了很多讽刺的东西。用广东话讲吉隆坡人，用华语唱新加坡人，用马来语骂马来人。最后用英语打圆场，其实一切都是一场误解与互相的不了解而造成的意见不和。
This song have a few languages inside, and a lot of sarcastic stuff. Use Cantonese to blame people from Kuala Lumpur, use Chinese to criticise, use Malay to scold Malays. After everything he uses English to round his thing, and actually all of these is just misunderstanding.




而这首《Negarakuku》，就轰动了全马来西亚的关注。马来西亚政府准备要控告他，篡改国歌，诬蔑回教，还可能引渡他回马来西亚受审。依我看呢，他也不算篡改国歌，只不过是把自己的歌节上国歌而已，乱接国歌还可能告得成。诬蔑回教也没有啊！侮辱别人唱歌像公鸡都有罪？还要引渡他，又不是杀人放火。
Whereas this song 《Negarakuku》 catched the concern of the whole country. Malaysia government is going to sue him, editing National Anthem, slander Islam, and may use Extradition to ask him back. From my point of view, he didn't really edit National Athem but just joining it with his own song, maybe sue him on simply joining National Anthem will be better. Slander Islam? No way! It's just insulting someone's singing like a cock, that's all. Extradition? Isn't it too serious for this case?

之后，他道歉了。不因为什么，只因为他爸爸想息事宁人而听信马华的话，叫他公开道歉。
After that, he apologised. No other reason, just because his father wants to end this issue as soon as possible and believe what MCA said, ask him to apologise.



可惜马来西亚政府不接受道歉，坚持要告他。他就豁出去了，也有公司帮他出这个专辑《盗版之王》。
But Malaysia government doesn't accept his apologise, insist to sue him. He get fedup, and got company help him to release this album 《King of DaoBan(Pirated)》。



之后有个支持他的人放了这首歌《Negarakukuku》。马来西亚政府也没什么消息了，不知道是不是因为心虚国歌也是抄人家的歌《Mamula Moon》。
After that, one of his supporters puts this song《Negarakukuku》。And no further news from Malaysia government, don't know whether they feel shame as our National Anthem is also copying from other song 《Mamula moon》。


其实我个人认为黄明志很爱国，只是不爱政府（这个有差别哦！）。看了他这部短片，我很喜欢他最后写的一句“如果国家能够安定繁荣，不民主又如何？”。
Actually in my opinion, Namewee loves our country, but just doesn't like the government (they are different!). After watching this video of his, i really like what he wrote in the end: "If one nation can be prosperous and safe, why do we still need democracy?".
