Controversial rap singer Wee Meng Chee or Namewee is asking for government assistance to sponsor his 1Malaysia video clip production titled Nasi Lemak 2.0.

He conveyed his wish to meet Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak on his plans to promote 1Malaysia with the video clip when he met with Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Seri Mohamed Nazri Aziz today.

Speaking to reporters after receiving Namewee's visit at his office in Parliament building, here, Nazri said the matter would be brought to the attention of the prime minister tomorrow.

He said it was up to the prime minister to decide on how the government could assist the youth in producing his music video to promote the 1Malaysia concept.

On public sentiments against Namewee and calls for action to be taken against him over his alleged seditious video clip previously, Nazri said the people must understand the law and not succumb to emotions.

'I have no political agenda'   

Namewee had angered the public and several non-governmental organisations with his controversial video clip which had touched racial sensitivities.

He said he had no intention to hurt anyone's feelings through his video clip and confessed to being patriotic and that he loved Malaysia.

He said one of the video clips he had produced was on Malaysia as being the best country in the world but the media only highlighted his mistake.

"I had no intention of hurting anyone's feelings, but if I had, please forgive me.

"I want to help the government make the 1Malaysia campaign a success. I am only an ordinary citizen, I don't have a political agenda and I hope the government will support my effort," he said.
