’1Malaysia’ Song To Be Symbol Of Unity And Struggle Of All Races – Dr Rais

KUALA KLAWANG, April 27 (Bernama) — The Information, Communication and Culture Ministry would launch a contest to identify the best composer for the ’1Malaysia’ song.

Its Minister Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim said just like other patriotic songs that inculcate patriotism in their composition, especially songs like ‘Budi Bahasa Budaya Kita’ and those to promote reading, the Ministry also wants the ’1Malaysia’ song lyrics to have all the values that can attract listeners.

“God willing, I hope we can get good response from composers and we hope to pick the best composition,” he told reporters after attending a dinner hosted by Kelab Rekreasi Warga Tua, Kuala Klawang here last night.

Dr Rais who is also Jelebu Member of Parliament said the song composition would have the representation of all races.

The ’1Malaysia’ song, to be in composed in Bahasa Malaysia, would be widely aired on all TV and radio stations, just like what Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak had wished for.

Meanwhile, Dr Rais also said that he was surprised with his appointment to the Umno Supreme Council by Umno President Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak last Friday.

“I did not expect to be among those appointed but I am deeply honoured with the announcement and hope to do my very best to strengthen the party,” he said.
