Muhibbah

I found these 2 patriotic songs here. For those Malaysians who remember the 60s and early 70s, these songs will bring back the nostalgia. For the rest of you, this is resonant Malaysian History. Even if you don't know the tunes, the lyrics are enough to bring a warm glow to the heart. But, if you know the tunes, just go ahead and sing it loud! It's good therapy for the times.

The Ministry of Information should play these patriotic songs several times a day, every day. You never know, it may bring a context and perspective to everyone. And, it will cool everyone down. They don't compose tunes and write lyrics like these anymore. I wonder why?

MUHIBBAH

Muhibbah, muhibbah
Itulah amalan kita semua
Muhibbah, muhibbah
Sejak sedari zaman purba kala
Tunaikanlah ikrar
Satu nusa satu bangsa merdeka
Satu loghat dan satu suara
Dalam Malaysia jaya

Junjung tinggi cita-cita bangsa
Hormatilah perlembagaannya
Marilah kita berganding tangan
Hapuskanlah jurang perbezaan

Muhibbah, muhibbah
Megah bersatu padu satu bangsa
Negara akan makmur bahagia
Dalam Malaysia jaya

MALAYSIA BERJAYA

Malaysia kita sudah berjaya
Aman makmur bahagia
Malaysia abadi selamanya
Berjaya dan berjaya

Pelbagai kaum sudah merdeka
Menjunjung cita-cita
Satu bangsa satu bahasa
Malaysia berjaya

Dari Perlis sampailah ke Sabah
Kita sudah merdeka
Negara makmur rakyat mewah
Kita sudah berjaya

Dengan semboyan kita berjaya
Menjulang di angkasa
Satu bangsa satu Negara
Malaysia berjaya

Great idea. Suggest the 5 PKR state government should start publicising these patriotic songs in cinemas, you-tube and all official functions.
