Malaysian talented musician/ singer Namewee has won a fifth award for his Getaway to Kaohsiung music video at the Arpa International Film Festival.
That same video has last won two awards at the 41st Annual Telly Awards last year.
Namewee (his real name is Wee Meng Chee) said this was the fifth award received by the video.
During the Telly Awards, the video bagged the Gold Winner under the Online — General Music Video category, and Silver Winner under the Television — General Music Video category.
Tourism Malaysia’s video, Discover Breathtaking Malaysia, had won the silver award for Non-Broadcast under the Travel/Tourism category.
Namewee posted on his Facebook page and described it as his best Chinese New Year gift.
“This is the fifth award received by the video. Initially when I did this song, I just wanted to help promote Kaohsiung’s tourism. It did not cross my mind that it would garner such a huge response.”
The music in this video is somewhat different from Namewee’s usual provocative style. Instead it has soothing melody with creative shooting of his journey at the back of a truck passing through some of Kaohsiung’s iconic streetscape. It is simply a beautiful video suitable for the entire family to watch.
Arpa International Film Festival is dedicated to cultivating cultural understanding and global empathy by creating a dynamic forum for international cinema.
Last year, Namewee’s film Babi received nominations at the Berlin
International Film Festival, Bangkok International Film Festival, Toronto
International Film Festival and the Golden Horse Award.

| Uncle Roger's favourite expression: "Haiyaa!" |
Internet celebrity Uncle Roger recently got himself into trouble after his video featured another YouTube star who has been vocal in his criticism of the Chinese government. Uncle Roger subsequently remove the video from the internet.
Critics had accused Uncle Roger – he is a Malaysian comedian and his real name is Nigel Ng, of bowing down to pressure from China last week after a video he made with vlogger Mike Chen from the Strictly Dumpling channel was removed from his YouTube channel.

In a new video posted to YouTube on January 16, Uncle Roger clarified: "I hate drama ... I just want to make funny vigeos (he means videos).”
"I don't want to be involved in anything else - no politics, no drama. Uncle Roger love making people laugh. It's about entertaining people, no matter where they come from, and respecting everyone's culture.”
"For the record, Uncle Roger make zero dollars from Chinese social media so to see my nieces and nephews say I like RMB more than MSG really break Uncle Roger’s heart." RMB is an acronym for renminbi, China's currency - also called the yuan.
Uncle Roger also addressed his critics on Instagram, posting: "I'm not bowing down to anyone. Especially not to all the hate comments I'm getting. So if you're thinking of sending me nasty things, save your time and just hit the unfollow button."
The whole drama began last week when a video entitled "Uncle Roger Reviews Ugliest Dumpling Ever" was removed by Uncle Roger himself, who said was not aware of Mike Chen's political leanings nor his previous criticism about the Chinese government when he collaborated with the food vlogger. He admitted on Weibo - China's Twitter - that the video had created a "bad social impact".
"My staff and I would like to express our sincerest apologies to everyone," Nigel Ng said. "Considering the seriousness of this issue and the negative impact of the video itself, we discussed internally and decided to take it down from all platforms."

Nigel Ng shot to fame last year when a video he posted to YouTube criticising a BBC recipe for egg fried rice went viral. It was the right timing as the entire world went into lock down when Covid-19 pandemic hit.
