  • Malaysia Foreign Ministry Notes Apology, Why Zed Zaidi Still Barking?

    Malaysia Foreign Ministry Notes Apology, Why Zed Zaidi Still Barking?

    The common perception is that people from you can trust people from your own race and religion more than you can trust others of different background. Seems like Zed Zaidi is on a one-man mission to dispel this notion. He is really trying his darndest to make life difficult for Singaporean Malay artistes in Malaysia, to limit their working opportunities there. Bangsa, bahasa, budaya, agama dan karya taruk tepi….

    I think what everyone wants to know, Malaysians and Singaporeans alike, is, what’s wrong with him????

    He doesn’t accept the apology. So what? Zed Zaidi thinks he is more powerful and influential than he actually is. Najip Ali and other Singaporean artistes can continue to earn a living because they have the talent and the dedication.

    Even Malaysia Foreign Ministry also noted the apology already and stated its wish that something like that do not re-occur, to preserve the good ties between the two countries?

    Zed Zaidi thinks he is more important that the foreign ministry?

    Empty vessels make the most noise.

  • Permohonan Maaf Najip Ali Ditolak, Masih Ada Yang Belum Mintak Maaf – Zed Zaidi

    Permohonan Maaf Najip Ali Ditolak, Masih Ada Yang Belum Mintak Maaf – Zed Zaidi

    PERSATUAN Seniman Malaysia (Seniman) tidak menerima permohonan maaf yang dibuat oleh stesen televisyen Singapura, Mediacorp Channel 5 dan Najip Ali berhubung kenyataan mempersendakan Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak menerusi rancangan hiburan OK Chope! di negara itu.

    Presidennya, Zed Zaidi berkata, keputusan itu diambil memandangkan terdapat ahli panel lain yang masih belum meminta maaf sehingga tempoh yang diberi tamat.

    “Kita tahu memang stesen TV itu dan Najip dah memohon maaf. Tapi ada ahli panel lain yang masih belum berbuat demikian lagi.

    “Kita mahu semua ahli panel meminta maaf,” katanya kepada Media Hiburan.

    Selain Najip, OK Chope! menampilkan Vernetta Lopez sebagai hos rancangan dan ahli panel lain ialah Mike Kasem, Rishi Budhrani dan Sam See.

    Pada perkembangan sama, Zed turut mempersoalkan tindakan ahli panel lain yang masih berdiam diri seterusnya beranggapan isu tersebut tidak pernah selesai.

    “Semua sedia maklum, kita bagi tempoh sehingga Jumaat (semalam), namun tiada tuntutan maaf daripada ahli panel yang lain. Mereka boleh berhubung dengan saya secara terus melalui telefon atau emel.

    “Kalau tiada inisiatif, kita anggap perkara ini tak selesai,” katanya.

    Susulan itu, Seniman memfailkan laporan polis terhadap semua selebriti yang terbabit dalam program itu di Balai Polis Dang Wangi, Kuala Lumpur, semalam.

    Pada masa sama, katanya, Seniman juga akan menghantar satu memorandum kepada Kerajaan Malaysia.

    “Kita sebagai pertubuhan bukan kerajaan (NGO) memainkan peranan dalam membantu kerajaan dari sudut industri seni negara.

    “Kita juga mahu beri pengajaran buat artis luar jika mahu masuk negara Malaysia perlu ikut undang-undang dan jangan buat hal,” tegasnya.

    Dalam pada itu, Seniman menafikan semua tindakan dibuat berdasarkan kepentingan peribadi.

    “Kita tegaskan, ini bukan mencari publisiti murahan tapi ini berlaku dalam bidang seni itu sendiri.

    “Oleh itu, kita perlu bertanggungjawab melakukan sesuatu demi melihat industri seni ini dihormati,” katanya. – Sinar Harian

  • Singaporean Malays Display Unity, Rally Behind Najip Ali

    Singaporean Malays Display Unity, Rally Behind Najip Ali

    It’s funny how an unfunny joke on show that Singaporeans don’t watch, but apparently watched by Malaysians, can create so much controversy. It’s an over-reaction and that Zed Zaidi definitely is one Melayu you cannot trust. He’s full of agendas.

    I may be Malay too but I totally cannot identify with Zed Zaidi. This idiot dared to use the word “serumpun” to describe the ties that bind Singapore and Malaysian Malays Well the moron can go tie himself up for all I care. A self-serving, self-important has-been, looking to score political points at Najip Ali’s expense. Kau happy tak Zed dapat mengampu PM kau????

    I am behind Najip Ali all the way. And all Singapore Malays are behind Najip too.

    I think the good think that has come of this is that it has rallied Singaporean Malay together. You read the comments and reactions to Zed Zaidi. No one should question our loyalty to Singapore!

  • Najip Ali Apologises To Malaysian PM Najib Razak For Joke In Poor Taste

    Najip Ali Apologises To Malaysian PM Najib Razak For Joke In Poor Taste

    PETALING JAYA: Singapore broadcasting group Mediacorp today apologised to Najib Razak for airing a comedy show in which participants made comments deemed offensive to the Malaysian prime minister.

    Popular talk show host Najip Ali in a statement carried by Mediacorp today expressed regret over comments he made on “OK Chope!”, a programme on Singapore’s Channel 5 in which panel members give humorous takes on current affairs.

    “I realise how insensitive and callous I was. I would like to apologise unreservedly to Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak. I beg his forgiveness and that of my viewers and friends.”

    In an episode last week, host Vernetta Lopez asked panelists to complete a news headline “Najib slams — for threatening Malaysia’s progress”.

    They responded by offering funny phrases to complete the sentence, including a reference to the RM2.6 billion deposited into Najib’s personal accounts, money which Najib claimed was a donation from Saudi Arabia for Umno’s 2013 general election campaign.

    “Najib with a ‘b’ slams Najip with a ‘p’,” said Najip, who is best known for hosting the 1990s regional talent show Asia Bagus.

    “Najib slams bomoh’s heads with his own coconuts,” said another, taking a jibe at shaman Ibrahim Mat Zin, also known as Raja Bomoh, who made headlines with his antics at the peak of the MH370 flight disappearance crisis as well as the recent diplomatic tiff between Malaysia and North Korea.

    Lopez then announced the correct headline, “Najib slams fake news for threatening Malaysia’s progress”, before remarking: “What, he’s doing the Trump line now? Fake news!”

    “What’s he going to do now, follow Trump’s hairstyle as well?” Lopez went on.

    Mediacorp chief customer officer, Debra Soon also apologised on behalf of Channel 5 and the show’s production team, saying the references to Najib were in “poor taste”.

    “We apologise unreservedly for this mistake.”

    She added that a repeat of the programme would not be aired.

    Ada orang cakap jangan support artis Anugerah, artis realiti TV. Tapi suruh support local artis.

    Apa cakap ni? Budak Anugerah tu tak local ke? Apa orang daripada realiti TV bukan real artis ke?

    Ni tak marah, ni tanya… sebab aku pun daripada Anugerah.

    Berbual masih cara lepak KGC ok.
