Negaraku(ku)... Buy Original?

........
INCIDENTALLY, retired broadcaster Ahmad Othman Merican emerged in The Star today to talk about how he had helped the Tunku create the Negaraku from a love song, the Terang Bulan, on the eve of independence.

According to Ahmad Merican, the Tunku had insisted that the melody Terang Bulan be “anthem-ised”. He wanted the anthem to be nothing short of the grandeur of God Save The Queen.

Ahmad Merican, however, mentioned nothing about Mamula Moon.
