Why Namewee Is A Humanitarian Genius

Many of my friends were surprised when I told them that I considered Namewee a really smart, musically gifted, funny and noble guy. If you do not share this opinion, well, read on and maybe you will change your mind.

Namewee may ruffle some feathers with his antics, protest songs or even profanity. To me, I am very much like him, except for the musically gifted part.

Namewee is a lot more popular elsewhere in particular, China, taiwan, HK and Singapore than Malaysia. Malaysians again are generally uncertain or take for granted the talents we have until we are told by others outside the country. we tend to under-rate ourselves a lot.

Why "humanitarian"... he fought for most things which resulted in us having a new government, he played his part long before it was safe to do so ...



His latest creation was brought on by his experience being locked up in a cell with loads of illegal Burmese migrants. The new government must find ways and implement effective rules to treat the migrants, legal or illegal, much better. 

Already I am so fed up with the ways some families treat their maids. Malaysians have a long way to go in terms of being empathetic and treating everyone as equal and with respect.

Hopefully Namewee's video will go some way to further highlight the plight of these migrants.






Many of us may not be aware of Namewee's achievements abroad. His biggest feather in his cap has to be the highly moving duet with Wang Lee Hom. Stranger In The North highlighted the desperate plight of the many rural folks who had to move to urban cities to eke out a better living for their families. The angry rant and rap resonated loudly with many in China.

A protest song for the present times. The disparity in incomes, the long time being separated from their loved ones, all for what...

Look at the hits, 140 million and counting ... splendid for a non-Gangnam style song. The song was and is still very popular throughout all Chinese speaking nations. 






and, when he wants to be funny, he can be damn funny... below was the catchy, pun ladened Thai Love song, made into an extended video with storyline.





His Cantonese is better than my Mandarin... accented but damn funny. His pronunciation was so deliberately close to foul language. Big big hit in HK. 

Namewee is highly respected by most music celebrities in the region and has worked with many, including G.E.M., Candy Lo, Meu Ninomiya, Amoi-Amoi, etc..





There are still so many wonderful songs by Namewee. He is still way under-rated. Still misunderstood by many. 

Jack Neo was also featured in Namewee's tribute to Jack's comedy show and the Singapore cultural nuances.
