I refer to the letter All must respect national anthem . It is well and good for the writer to mouth cliches like one must 'respect the flag and the national anthem' and react to the Negarakuku rap as if the two items have been 'defiled'.

Having listened to the rap (and understood most of it) and also having read the translations, my personal observation are that:

• He sang the NegaraKu with feeling and passion making me think that he indeed is more patriotic than a lot of his critics

Before all you self-righteous critics start your ganging up and try to bully this young man, ask yourself this question and look into the mirror.

Which act does more damage to the country's overall racial harmony and unity? Please be honest.
