Namewee mocks “political frogs†in music video for ‘Hidup Katak' featuring youth politician Syed Saddiq
Malaysian rapper Namewee has released a new music video for his single ‘Hidup Katak’, featuring an appearance from youth politician Syed Saddiq.
Released August 12, the new single sees the controversial rapper taking aim at “political frogs” – a term commonly used in Malaysia to describe politicians jumping between parties for political or material gain.
On the Malay, Mandarin and Tamil trilingual track, Namewee raps of “frogs at the backdoor” who “suddenly come and go“, while Malaysia United Democratic Alliance (MUDA) party founder Syed Saddiq gives a speech in Bahasa Malaysia that says in part: “Frogs are a protected species in Malaysia. They have a super high IQ, and are extremely skilful in hopping acrobatics with their abundance of collagen, and most importantly they are very rich.”
“Under the care of our beloved nation for years, Frogs continue mating here and there without shame, reproduce rapidly, and increasing in numbers over the years.”
