The Registrar of Societies (RoS) must reject the newly formed non-governmental organisation (NGO) Negara-Ku for using the name of the national anthem, Utusan Malaysia said today.
Awang Selamat, the psudeonym for the Umno-owned paper's collective editors, said Negara-Ku, which is led by former Bersih co-chair Datuk Ambiga Sreenevasan, was clearly formed based on political motives and the objectives of its formation was just a smokescreen.‎

"Let it remain an illegal body, unless the name is changed to AgendaKu. That is more befitting Ambiga's record and reputation," wrote Awang in Mingguan Malaysia, the Sunday edition of Utusan Malaysia.
The new movement called "Negara-Ku" was launched on Thursday to heal Malaysia and restore hope, given recent challenges that continue to threaten the peace and harmony of its multi-ethnic and multi-faith society.

Touted as the "people's movement to reclaim our nation", it is led by Ambiga and national laureate Datuk A. Samad Said.
Ambiga had said the movement sought to give people the correct information to meet the challenges facing Malaysian society.
This would be done though the use of videos, social media and forums and talks “to get people to listen, to question and to think", she had added.
Awang‎ said Negara-Ku was a desperate platform to restore the image of the opposition pact, namely PKR and DAP.
He said that after failing many times to garner the support of the rakyat‎, including through the Bersih rallies, Ambiga was now hiding behind the name Negara-Ku, which was the national anthem's title.
"The excuse that this NGO supposedly wants to encourage harmony, tackle extremism and racism is just a smokescreen. It is disgusting.
"In Malaysia, anybody can form an NGO but do not use the name Negaraku, especially for political purposes. Do not think you are so honourable,‎ for I worry that this will attract extremism.
‎"Many know who Ambiga is. The anger of Malaysians, particularly the Muslims, over numerous issues has yet to die down," he said in the column titled "Agenda Ambiga?"
