Can police make Malaysians sing Negaraku to prove citizenship?
PETALING JAYA, May 12 — It is not an offence for policemen to ask Malaysians to sing the Negaraku if they are unable to produce their MyKad, a senior police officer said yesterday.
Bukit Aman traffic police chief SAC Mahamad Akhir Darus said it was, however, not the police’s Standard Operating Procedure (SOP).
He said this when commenting on an allegation by blogger Raine Lee, 25, that she had to do so after being stopped by traffic policemen at a roadblock recently.
He said it was up to the policeman on duty to handle the situation professionally if a driver was unable to provide his or her MyKad.
“My men have not committed any offence (by asking someone to sing Negaraku) if those stopped fail to produce their MyKad,” he said.

Genie Wong Malaysian citizens… Learn your Negara Ku
This girl was stopped by the police to sing ‘Negaraku’ because they thought she was from China?!
“I was forced to sing the freakin ‘Negaraku’ song.” said Raine Lee on the 8th of May after sharing her story unto Facebook about how she was stopped by law enforcement because they figured she was from China.
She said she was on her way back with her boyfriend when they had encountered a roadblock by law enforcement. Usually when there’s a roadblock, the chances of getting stop is pretty low but unfortunately for Raine, in all that chances she was stopped.
When they were both stopped by the law enforcement, they requested for her boyfriend’s identification card and driving license. When all was fine with her boyfriend, when suddenly their suspicions turned towards Raine as they directed their flashlights unto her.
When asked about her identification card and license, she had told the law enforcement that she had misplaced her identification card awhile ago and instead she gave them her driving license as they have requested for it.
They weren’t convinced as to her excuse as they continuously said her driving license was fake and that the picture did not resemble her. They also tossed an accusation unto her that she was definitely from China.

Terpaksa nyanyi Negaraku untuk bukti diri rakyat Malaysia
Walaupun dia ada menunjukkan lesen memandunya, namun polis tidak menerimanya dan mahu wanita itu menyanyikan lagu Negaraku bagi membuktikan dirinya bukan warga China atau Vietnam.
…
PETALING JAYA: Gara-gara gagal menunjukkan kad pengenalan ketika ditahan polis trafik, seorang wanita terpaksa menyanyi lagu Negaraku bagi membuktikan dirinya adalah warganegara Malaysia.
Menurut laporan China Press, ketika kejadian pada awal bulan ini, polis meminta wanita berusia 25 tahun itu menunjukkan kad pengenalannya semasa melalui satu sekatan jalan, kerana mereka mengesyaki dia adalah warga asing.
Walaupun dia ada menunjukkan lesen memandunya, namun polis tidak menerimanya dan mahu wanita itu menyanyikan lagu Negaraku bagi membuktikan dirinya bukan warga China atau Vietnam.
Menurut sumber, wanita itu berbohong dengan mengatakan kad pengenalannya hilang pada hari kejadian, walhal difahamkan dia kehilangan Mykadnya dua bulan lalu dan tidak membuat laporan polis untuk memohon kad pengenalan baru.
Polis trafik itu bagaimanapun melepaskan wanita berkenaan, meskipun dia tidak dapat menyanyi lagu Negaraku yang lengkap.
Wanita berkenaan kemudiannya memuat naik kejadian itu ke Facebook dan mendapat pelbagai komen yang menyatakan dia patut bersyukur kerana tidak dikenakan tindakan gara-gara tidak mempunyai kad pengenalan. Catatan itu kemudiannya dipadamkan wanita terbabit.
Mengulas kejadian itu, Ketua Trafik Pasukan Cawangan Bukit Aman, SAC Mahamad Akhir Darus berkata, SOP polis trafik tidak menyatakan rakyat perlu menyanyi lagu Negaraku untuk membuktikan diri adalah warganegara Malaysia.
