"Nah" is Vulgar, but Effect is Achieved.



There have been varied comments regarding Namwee's vulgarity in his U-tube posting of his video clip "Nah". One comment pointed out that while the issue of racism is a much hated topic, resorting to vulgarity is not the way.
First, it must be pointed out that it was mainly because of the government's inaction over racist remarks utterred by the various ultras that has prompted Namwee to come out with his piece. Too many racist remarks had been spewed by the likes of Ibrahim Ali, Riduan Tee Abdullah and Utusan Melayu, and they are still walking the streets. Many of us feel the anger and frustration for not being able to do anything.  But it was Namwee who was able to put our feelings into words.
Lets face it. Would the authorities have taken note if he had written it otherwise? While I agree that the language used was rather vulgar & crude, but it has achieved its effect. They have taken note and are now in a bind with regards to the 2 heads who utterred racist remarks. Anyway enough is enough. There must be a stop to this double standard, selective persecution and prosecution.
In short, you can never get through these people with nice words.
