Malaysian rapper Namewee is a wanted man.

He caused a stir among Malaysians after uploading his latest music video Like a Dog to YouTube on Feb. 10.

It was seen as offensive as dancers wearing dog masks performed "vulgar moves" in front of the Perdana Putra building, which houses the Prime Minister's office.

On Feb. 19, Malaysian state news agency Bernama reported that the Royal Malaysian Police are tracking down the rapper, who is believed to be out of the country.

Said Bukit Aman CID Director Datuk Seri Wan Ahmad Najmuddin Mohd:

"We are still tracking him (Namawee) down...(he is) believed to be abroad. Investigations are being carried out together with the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission."

Serious offence

Earlier on Feb. 18, Bernama reported that Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Mohamad Fuzi Harun confirmed that the Namewee case was being investigated under Section 298 of the Penal Code which deals with wounding religious feelings, and Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998, which makes it an offence to transmit "obscene" communications.

The last time Namewee released a controversial video, titled Oh My God he was detained for four days in 2016, , before being freed on bail.

On Feb. 16, Namewee released another video in which he claimed, among other things, that he never intended to insult Islam or any other religions.
