This is my response to some guy who called 93.8FM and asked for the National Anthem to be changed. I don’t know what your reasons are but if it’s “dont understand” or “cannot remember” , then I hope this will help you, and all new immigrants who have recently gotten their citizenship.
It is my considered opinion that our National Anthem is a showcase of our racial harmony. It is also appropriate because of our geographical location. Just take a look at the map if you don’t understand. We are right smacked in the Malay Archipelago. [map]
