CONTROVERSIAL rapper Wee Meng Chee or Namewee, who gained notoriety in 2007 for his rap song, Negarakuku, is at it again.

His latest tirade, which was made into a short film and posted on YouTube, was aimed at Tenaga Nasional Bhd after his home in Muar, Johor, was hit by a blackout last month.

Sin Chew Daily quoted Information, Communications, Culture and Arts Ministry's secretary-general Datuk Kamaruddin Siaraf as saying the ministry has launched an investigation into the matter.

He said the ministry would only decide on the next course of action once the investigation was completed.

He emphasised that TNB itself could take action against Wee if the utility company feels that the film had seriously affected the company's image.

In the film, Wee was seen lashing out at several workers at the TNB's Muar branch office after he was said to have been given the run around.

He claimed that he was composing his new song on his computer when the blackout shut down his central processing unit causing him to lose the file which he did not save.

His younger brother too was affected as he could not do his revision and he was facing an examination the next day, he claimed.

Wee then made at least 10 calls to TNB hoping to get an explanation over but nobody picked up the calls.

He then went to the office and was seen hurling abusive language at the workers before leaving the building.
