BUKIT Aman is taking rapper Namewee’s statement over his controversial Chinese New Year music video, which led to angry groups lodging reports.

In a post on his Facebook page today, Namewee said he was at the police headquarters as he believed in the country’s justice system.

“I came to the police headquarters today. I am not afraid as I believe in the country’s justice system.

“I thank everyone for their support,” he said in a brief post, which was published with a picture of the controversial artiste saluting beside the Jalan Bukit Aman street sign.

In his Like a Dog music video, Namewee sings that dogs in different countries have different barks, and while American dogs go “woof woof” and Indonesian dogs, “bow wow”, Malaysian dogs go “mari mari wang wang” (come come money money).

He is accompanied by background dancers in dog masks, who move provocatively and scatter money to the beat of the music.

Namewee, whose real name is Wee Meng Chee, has denied insulting Islam in the music video, which was released to coincide with the CNY celebrations.

The rapper said the music video served only entertainment purposes, and that he had no intention of disrespecting any religion or race.

“Previously, I released a rooster-themed song for CNY, and other songs that contained humorous elements to celebrate CNY.

“It was never my intention to insult any religion or race,” he said in a video posted on his Facebook and YouTube accounts, in response to Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi’s warning that he will be punished for his provocative actions sooner or later. – February 22, 2018.
