Mamula Moon -Terang Bulan - Negaraku

Yeap! The STAR reported that there's this group in Indonesia trying to sweep Malaysians in Central Jakarta. It's real scary what our not so friendly neigbour can do at the slightest opportunity available, right or wrong.



Pic shows the group checking suspected cars for Malaysians.

The Indonesians also accused Malaysia for stealing their Balinese pendet dance after the Discovery Channel promotion clip, which was later admitted and apologised as an error by Discovery Channel.

Actually, just as some Malaysians wanted to 'bully' the Singaporeans and act as the taikor, some Indonesians also wanted to 'bully' Malaysians and act as our taikor too!
So our Govt earlier policy of importing these Indonesians to Malaysia has backfired because the latter never appreciated the 1.5million job opportunities created for them. I say we should just reduce the dependence on them and get the Myanmars, Nepalese, Bangladeshis, Indians and why not ( sic), the PRC Chinese to replace them. Then it's Malaysia truly Asia la la.

But the one thing I get pissed off is this their claiming the Negaraku was copied from their Terang Bulan. To get the matter straight, it was found out later that Terang Bulan was actually copied from an old Hawaiian song called Mamula Moon!


Hear the You Tube songs below and judge for yourself.

But I still can't get it...if it was so obvious, why didn't anybody detect that our very own National Anthem was not the original for the last 50 over years ?
The recent upbeat edition...was it meant to be a ...?? Naw, couldn't be. Or maybe.
