Namewee’s “Kara King” irritates Utusan, yet again
A feature film by Namewee, “Kara King”, has drawn the ire of Umno mouthpiece Utusan Malaysia for a scene where the lead character accidentally urinates on a Malay couple.
The newspaper alleged the scene was a blatant attempt by Namewee (pic) to show his disdain for the Malay community.
The scene involves Namewee relieving himself on the side of the street before attempting to turn around in order to bribe a policeman, accidentally urinating on the couple passing by on a motorcycle.
Utusan questioned the message Namewee was attempting to get across in the scene.
The newspaper also poured scorn on the Film Censorship Board for not censoring it, comparing it with the stand taken on the film The New Village.
"The New Village was initially approved by the Film Censorship Board before it backtracked on its decision," the paper said.
"Is it too difficult to read Namewee's agenda to insult Malays in this film? The portrayal of Malays being urinated upon by the Chinese survived and not censored?" Rasdan Ahmad wrote.
"If a Malay film depicted the same, there will be those who will be unhappy and will blow up the issue and cause multiple postponements like what happened to Tanda Putera."
He also took umbrage that the movie mainly has a Chinese cast, with just a handful of Malays and Indians involved.
"This gives the wrong impression of Malaysia's ethnic composition when it is released in several Asian countries." – August 25, 2013.
