The recent controversial song created by him called 《丘老師ABC時間》，he was sued by his school and many are throwing anger bomb towards this latest production.
Vulgar words and sexual element was the major arguement from the public, as well as using his secondary school as background.
I would like to point out one things is - if you read all the negative comments and news before watching the video, 90% of the people will be influenced by those comments and feel the same way of bombarding him. To find out the true feeling from your inner heart, you need to ignore all the comments first, because different people has different point of view.
To me, the first 2 videos could be boring and nonsense (strickly speaking, the ugly man shouting the "ar ar ar" and the boobs picture covered with bra is not "porn" enough if you are looking for porn video), but it show the reality how chinese people speak today, and the low moral standard in today society, people do not care about content they speak, they just focus on expressing their anger.
But to many people, these videos are not "healthy". (because of the actor face? or because of the vulgar words) I think we dare not scold some one if they speak those vulgar/filthy word in front of you (directly or indirectly to you), but many people seems very mad at this video ? why ? Because he speak vulgar ? Or you think he ruin the name of the chinese?
Frankly speaking, I am not a fan of Ming Zi after all, but indeed I am proud of Ming Zi too, because he dare to voice out his view. Controversy sometimes is good, it makes people think and start to figure out where the problem is, people see him as problem maker, but I do not think so, he is just too provoking and agreasive when making his view known. But the real issue lies in the society whereby no one really go and dig it out and face it.
I am proud of chinese independent school, most of the student from there has great career, and better discipline. This thanks to the education system there. I admited that language is a problem, chinese is the main medium to teach, it is hard for everyone master two language at a time, especially the great difference in chinese and english. One has mentioned that we require different side of brains to study these two languages due to its personality.
After 6 years of study in chinese independent school, most of the students are good at science and math. But without great presentation and communication skill, you can't survive in the society. If we look at the bright side, chinese always has strong fighting spirit, I have my school mates work and stay in different country - US, England, Japan, Australia, Singapore, China, Taiwan ...you name it, this show the great results from the chinese independent school education system. I'd only started to communicate with people in english since my University study here in Singapore, and now I have no problem communicating with my colleague and counterpart from United State (with American slang). So my point is - if you have cultivated the fighting, learning, growing spirit since young, you will not fail to succeed, this is what I have learnt in my 6 yrs Chinese Independent School study.
Then while I surfing for this song in youtube, another singer was discovered - Karen Kong 龚柯允. She is a pretty chinese singer, I do not know who is she in the first place, but she impress me with her Malay Song Album. After much discovery from the internet and her blog www.karenkong.com/ , I learnt that she is the first chinese singer has her first album debuted in Malay song and she is from labuan (Sabah).
As a malaysian chinese, we live under the same system, to be frank, there are some unfair treatment need to be resolved. First to mention is the education system, just like what Ming Zi expressed, there is quota for chinese to be accepted in the local University.
But this is not a loss to malaysian chinese, this is a loss to the government. Think about it, every year, there are thousands of great talents and graduates will be outflowed to foreign country to work after they studied in oversea. They are not contributing to the nation GDP but contributing their effort to other countries's GDP (Gross Domestic Product), and after all most of these Malaysians work and live in oversea enjoying their life there, spending money and contributing to the economy oversea too.
So back to the two singers, Karen and Ming Zi, they are both malaysian chinese. Ming Zi sang song to complain about current society issue in malaysia. But Karen has another more effective method, she sing malay song with her amazing voice, it could melt the heart of all malay fellow citizens and feel the love from chinese people too. (When you like some one, you start to learn their culture and language - just like you learn korean and jap when watching their show and listening to their music)
In all the religion, either in buddhism or christianity, all of them proclaim about love. Love can solve everything but not hatred. I would say Ming Zi's way of expressing is nothing wrong, but sharing the love could be a better way to resolve the issue. (Making some one hate you is easy, but making some one like you could be a mission impossible sometimes.)
Instead of always complaining about the unfair treatment, malaysian chinese ought to stand up and penetrate into the lives of other races too. While we are holding on to our cultures, we ought to familiarised with other races' culture and language.
Let's work together for a better tomorrow! Cheers!
