In conjunction with National Day, I hereby present to everyone, a very interesting short film made by one of my pal, Ghaz.
It’s called, Forgotten Merlion:
height=315Ghaz went around Singapore inviting adults to sing our national anthem, Majulah Singapura. As most of us would have expected it, there were barely anyone who can sing the song in whole. Not even Malays. Not that we are unpatriotic I guess, but more because the last time most adults would have sung it will be a few years back when they were still in Secondary School during morning assembly.
Watch Ghaz’s light-hearted short film to learn how to sing our national anthem correctly AGAIN. Don’t worry, it is not presented in the typical boring National-Education-video format. Have fun.
Oh… and here’s the CORRECT lyrics, taken from Wikipedia:
MAJULAH SINGAPURA
Mari kita rakyat Singapura
Sama-sama menuju bahagia
Cita-cita kita yang mulia
Berjaya SingapuraMarilah kita bersatu
Dengan semangat yang baru
Semua kita berseru
Majulah Singapura
Majulah SingapuraEnglish Translation
