Monologue from Namewee

A reporter from Utusan made some groundless remarks in her article, Namewee retaliated with this youtube video. You can watch it here. I have tried to translate what he said per se as best I can. :) His video is punctuated with a lot profanities (which I have obviously censored) and compounded with a lot of visual and sound effects that translated humour despite his obvious rant.

I don't necessarily agree with his choice to retaliate in such a manner, but he does have a point. Could have been delivered in a more finese way, but at least we know he is speaking through his heart rather than through a mask. :)

Hello, my name is Namewee. I am the director of Nasi Lemak 2.0.

I read in the papers today (Utusan Malaysia). One person (reporter) wrote in the papers that many people gave great reviews of the movie Nasi Lemak 2.0, but she would never go and watch and urges everyone not to go as well.

He says that the director, Namewee insults Malaysia and Malaysians. He used to write songs, used to blah blah.

Last time, last time what? Last time police wear shorts, last time people commute with bicycles. Now we travel with what? Airasia!

All the songs I wrote are patriotic. Do you understand what the song is about, do you even understand the lyrics? If you don’t understand, what the (profanity) are you accusing me about? Last time, last time who and what did I insult (profanity)? I ask people not to be racist. I ask people to do their work properly. I support 1Malaysia cannot?

Artistes of Malay, Chinese and Indians descent came together with combined efforts in this movie, isn’t it? The article you wrote without having ever seen the movie, do you think you are professional? Do you have brains? Newspaper such as this is an insult to Malaysia and Malaysians.

If you want to review movies you must first go see the movie. If you don’t watch, what are you reviewing? (profanity) If you don’t have money I will give you money, I will give you 2 tickets for you to go with your girlfriend to go watch together.

Rubbish newspaper!

Rubbish!

Plague of society! (I dunno how to translate this properly...)

 

Rubbish reporter!

You write only. You have a pen, you have a keyboard, you think you are a reporter already? (profanity)

(profanity)

The legal minister already confirmed that there is no case against me. If you want to hate me, hate me in your heart. How can you write such accusations in the newspaper?

I have a degree in mass communication. You don’t bluff me think I have never eaten durian before.

A newspaper is for reporting. REPORTING. You judge people based on what?

Not write for your own pleasure. Where is your certificate from? Drain?

If you don’t know what it means to be reporter, you should go back to school. You, along with your boss and your friends to go back to school first.

You think other newspapers are stupid? When they report, they report based on facts. Their review may be critical of the script or the artistes, but that is okay because they review after they watch the movie.

You? Have you ever researched? Always harping on the negative. Think you are smart? Syiok ah? (I really don’t know how to translate this exclamation).
