Awwww I dunno, seems to me that singing Negaraku is a risky affair unless Rais (the orphan) can come to terms on the settlement of royalties to be paid to Indonesia going by this:

FRONTPAGE JAKARTA GLOBE:

“Copying the song is a violation of intellectual property rights according to the law. We demand that the government take strong action, not just send a note of protest.

“We have to unite against Malaysia, as they keep on stealing Indonesia’s assets,” Ruktiningsih said.

Lokananta lawyer Jaka Irwanta said “Terang Bulan” and “Negaraku” were 80 percent the same. “We will take the case to the International Court [of Justice] if the Indonesian government is incapable of taking no stronger action than a protest note,” Jaka said.

Hishammuddin said the Prisons Department did not have a person to cane the syariah way, as all this while there has been no requirement for that position to be created.

“As long as the Home Ministry is not ready, the sentence will not be carried out. To me, if we do not have the person to do this, how are we to carry out the sentence fairly?

“Islam says that we are to carry it out according to law and be fair. If we can have one [person to do the caning] in a day, I am ready tomorrow [to carry out the sentence],” he said.

And how is the islamic way of caning? Bring one of those guys from Afghanistan or Saudi Arabia and let the caning begin.
Unless, the malaysian minister wants to use feathers.
