In honour of Malaysia's 54th birthday...


SEJAHTERA MALAYSIA

Puji dan syukur pada Ilahi,
AnugerahNya tiada terhingga,
Kedamaian kemakmuran,
Malaysiaku bahagia.

Dengan tekad untuk berjaya,
Berbakti pada nusa dan bangsa,
Kami junjung cita-cita luhur,
Perpaduan seluruh negeri.

Seia sekata sehati sejiwa,
Menghadapi cabaran,
Kami sedia kami setia,
Berkorban untuk negara.

Bersemarak Malaysia tercinta,
Kibarkan panji kebesarannya,
Kami rela menjaga namamu,
Sejahtera Malaysia.

One of my favourite patriotic songs haha. I remember watching the ad when I was a kid and waiting for my favourite shows to start on RTM2 and this song would be aired. I remember how they used people of different races to sing lines of the song, how the Chinese woman would come on first and then the Indian lady with her beautiful sari and how they included the ethnic races of Eastern Malaysia as well. Fond memories. =)
