Wee Meng Chee, 27, better known as Namewee to his fans, made national headlines three years ago over another YouTube clip mocking the national anthem which authorities also said was seditious.
He apologised for that incident, but is in fresh trouble for posting a three-minute rap titled 'Nah' criticising a Muslim Malay headmistress accused of making racial slurs against her ethnic Chinese and Indian students. 'We are investigating him under the Sedition Act,' Bakri Zinin, the Federal Criminal Investigation chief, told AFP, adding that Wee will soon be called to give a statement.
Wee faces up to three years in prison if he is charged and convicted. MORE
