As long as I know you guys speak English. I'm curious whether you can sing your national anthem fluently coz it's in Bahasa!
So spill it ou!

Tutala... nananina....

So how??? Was it good???

I don't even understand a word, aunty..
but nice try! anyone else?

LOL!!!!!OMG!!! very nice. Majulh Singapura!!!!!!!Majulah Singapura!!!!!!!!!!Majulah Singapura!!!!!!!!
Bahagia Sokmo.

Sokmo? What's that? Maybe Sukma? Or Semua?

Sokmo= Everlasting or continuing indefinitely. Other word "always be happy"

Yes I can I can....I had this crazy music teacher in primary schools who made us memorize the words and pronounce them properly...i think ive said this tons of times..but lots of people..always sing the chorus wrong..for example; the 2nd part of the chorus that goes "marilah kita berseru" but everyone just sings it as "marilah kita bersatu">>>whcih actually belongs to the first part of the chorus..

anyway..here goes *clears throat*

Mari Kita Rakyat Singapura
Sama-sama menuju
Bahagia
Cita cita kita yang mulia
Berjaya Singapura.

Marilah Kita Bersatu,
dengan semangat yang baru.
Semua kita berseru,
Majulah Singapura
Majulah Singapura.

Do Majulah Singapura oso being sang in other language like Mandarin or Indian ??

Didja all know that Marikita is a spanish word for little transvestite?

I like the one about Di Tanjung Katong! Anyone got the lyrics??

No it is not sang in any other languages at all. But we have the translation in the other official languages of Singapore. it is sang in Malay only.

Di Tanjong Katong
Airnya Biru
Di situ tempatnya dara jelita
Duduk sekampung
Laginya rindu
???????
???????

??????
????????????
???????
?????????

I know the chorus only.

OIC! I thought it was a wrong word.

@ Malaccan: nice version of Malay you have just replace the "a" with "e" at the end

I didn't know that, auntie. Thanks for enlighting me

^ wei! furan, if u call me auntie onemore time, i am calling you marikita forever!! hahaha

Okay okay. From now on I'll call you Tanga.

You and your Tanjong Katong! Here's a youtube for you then.
Di Tanjong Katong
"-slits wrists-"

Err.... hmmm....you laughed just a 'lil but too hard and too long there.

^ thx malaccan, i love it!!!! but how come they got these chinese toddlers singing and wearing a tudung? integrationist platform izzit??

^You're welcome tangawizi. Sorry I couldn't find a nicer rendition. It is quite a nice easy-going traditional song. To be honest I didn't bother watchiing the clip right till the end until prompted by what you said. If i remember correctly, the kids were part of a commercial local group singing Chinese songs for the kiddies. I guess the tudung were a marketing strategy to break through to the Malay market. Certainly not a government-backed integrationist ploy lah.

BTW malaccan..why did u slit yr wrists? u dont like the song?!?!

lets sing "Chan mali chan" next...


-Di mana dia
Anak kambing saya?
anak kambing saya
yang makan daun ((4got what daun it was))?

..................
..............
.............
.................


Chan mali chan
chan mali chan
chan mali chan
di la la la la la la.....


LOL...my memory is shot..im getting old...

And marikita means otherwise in SG lingo....

Di mana dia, buah hati saya.
Buah Hati saya... lalalalallalaa..

Furan, you picked a very interesting and fun topic to talk about! I've always sort of wondered the same thing myself.

In relation to this topic, here's this ongoing debate and speculation (among my elders) that future generations of Malays in Singapore will eventually lose their ability to speak the mother tongue because of their constant usage of English in daily life (work, school, etc), hence I question the likelihood of this ever happening. To me it seems a bit unthinkable.

Malay Singaporeans, any comments?

Malaccan, I didn't know you are Singaporean! Long time no chat, kawan.

I disagree. Its a cosmopolitan city state. Currently there are 50% foreigners and 50% local. There are so many languages spoken here. Sooner or later, you will find people with multi-language skill. Even I myself a Malaysian living in SG for the past 11 years is learning Japanese and strong intention to learn other languages as well. 15% of my neighbours are filipino and I have bunch of friends coming from India, China, Bangladesh, Aussie, English, Americans, etc

The language will not be lost. No malaccan is a full breed paria malaysian....j/k

nah..dont think its gonna happen...theres no way the Malay parents in SG will let that happen..all my malay friends always spoke malay when they were at home n stuff..and they speak english fluently....or rather id say..they speak Singlish fluently..hehehe

There you go...another authentication by a Singaporean. I dunno whether I mention this before, we speak singlish while in Singapore....but we try to speak good english with friends from abroad but we instill the singlish words to cultivate our fellow friends into the singlish culture which is always a breaking of ice things which made many of our friends amused by it....and they in turn tries to replicate it to blend in

While abroad....well we try as much lor...to speak like them...do what the romans do sort

Wasn't me. Twas the youtube comment I quoted.



rico tipu!!! Kita orang Singapura

No lah ***** I'm just like you, from PJ originally. Late grandfather from Singapore. Turned down ASEAN scholarship to study there. But still I like Singapore very much and have many relatives there. I think any true blue urban KL cityfolk can find kindred spirits in our neighbour across the causeway. Except they're much more kiasu than us to the power of nth. Hehehe. I kid I kid!

Some like to comment on SG without even experiencing the likes in SG. All rely on newspaper propaganda and political bull$hit to cultivate hatred towards SG

Come to SG guys....I show you paradise

Yes and after that Rico will take u guys to Batam for dessert/supper!! Im not talking about food here...

^ 5 star standard hotel service at a low rate.


Anyway, I dont think Malay language will disappear in singapore. We speak the language very often, fluently(but a little bit of English word in the sentence) example.... Eh, bagi aku duit as soon as possible.

Bye!

Tanter...no need batam lar....geylang, joo chiat, orchard tower, ....many have lar

I wasnt talking about that....I was indeed talking about paradise in food lar....no signcrab, tanjong katong, and all other delicious food

you should try the brazillian food at katong...best in the world

don't take it by heart lah, cikgu Malaccan!

Hey this song reminds me of indo songs "Anak Kambing Saya"

"Mana dimana anak kambing saya?
Anak kambing tuan ada di kampung baru
Mana dimana jantung hati saya?
Jantung hati tuan ada di..........forget the rest...lol
reff:
cha cha maricha hey hey
cha cha marica hey hey
cha cha marica
ada di kampung baru...."

^^^oooh...interesting.
I think its the same song with different lyrics..I think in the malay version theres one part where it goes "Dimana dia, buah hati saya, Buah hati saya...something something something..Chan mali chan, hey, hey"

wats the meaning of Chan Mali Chan? Is it about a chinese guy named Chan?

Well in "Anak Kambing Saya" context, I guess the girl's name is Maricha
