DAP MP irks netizens after questioning need for playing Negaraku in cinemas

by akil yunus

PETALING JAYA: A DAP lawmaker has irked netizens after questioning the need for the national anthem, ‘Negaraku’, to be played in cinemas.

In a Facebook posting on Tuesday, Kuching MP Chong Chieng Jen criticised having to stand up for the national anthem before watching a film, calling it a ‘disgrace and ridiculous’.

“I would not know how to tell my friends overseas that we are so patriotic that we play our national anthem before watching a movie.

“Is Malaysia heading towards the communist Mao era where everywhere you go you must shout out loud and show you are a patriot,” he said in the post Tuesday.

Chong, who is Sarawak DAP chief, also appeared to mock the playing of the national anthem, saying that fellow patrons had a look of amusement in their eyes while others ‘laughed out in disdain’.

He later deleted the post, but not before earning the ire of netizens and also several Cabinet Ministers, including Youth and Sports Minister Khairy Jamaluddin, Communication and Multimedia Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Shabery Cheek and Urban Wellbeing, Housing, and Local Government Minister Datuk Abdul Rahman Dahlan.

Seventy theatres to play national anthem in conjunction with Merdeka

KUALA LUMPUR: Seventy theatres throughout the country will play the national anthem, ‘Negaraku’, and three promos on the independence before the screening of any film in their premises for three weeks beginning tonight in conjunction with the 57th anniversary of Merdeka.

Communications and Multimedia Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Shabery Cheek said the move was part of the efforts to instil the spirit of patriotism among Malaysians besides participating in the Merdeka celebrations.
…

Ahmad Shabery hoped patrons to the theatres would give their cooperation by standing up when the national anthem was being played.

…

The three promos to be screened are ‘Sajak Merdeka’, ‘Jalur Gemilang’ and ‘Di sini Lahirnya Sebuah Cinta’ and all these promos were produced by the Malaysian National Film Development Corporation (Finas). – Bernama
