Namewee slapped with four-day remand order

Show more reactions

Rapper Wee Meng Chee, popularly known as Namewee, has been slapped with a four-day remand order for a music video shot in various places of worship in Penang.
He is being investigated for the video, titled 'Oh My God', featuring him and three others, which has allegedly insulted Islam.
Police obtained the remand order from magistrate court registrar Ahmad Tajudin Zaini in George Town this morning.
Namewee remained cool when the remand order was read.
He wore a white T-shirt and jeans and was seen with his favourite snowball cap.
After 20 minutes in the remand room, Namewee was taken to a police car, which left the court premises about 10.50am.
He was detained at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) about 3.30pm yesterday, when he returned from Taipei, Taiwan.
Police began looking for him after multiple police reports were lodged on July 30 in George Town on his 'Oh My God' music video.
The police report stated that the music video had used the word 'Allah' in a disrespectful manner and portrayed Muslims as terrorists.

The reports also took issue with the portrayal of Muslims gambling and the use of the 'azan' (call to prayer) in the music video.
Police said they would arrest Namewee, who was overseas, as soon as he returned to the country.
Subsequently, Namewee in a video message this month blamed what he described as the "extreme" local media for the perception that he was disrespectful to Islam.  -Mkini
