SINGAPORE – A new music video for Majulah Singapura has been produced to mark the anthem’s 60th anniversary.
Based on the 2019 National Day Parade (NDP) rendition sung by veteran singer-songwriter Ramli Sarip, the video features him performing alongside a diverse group of 24 Singaporeans. These include the country’s first female Olympian Tang Pui Wah, comic writer-artist Sonny Liew and wheelchair-bound rapper and music producer Danial Bawthan, better known as Wheelsmith.
It also includes paralympian Theresa Goh and former Nominated Member of Parliament Kuik Shiao-Yin.
Composed in 1958 by Mr Zubir Said, Majulah Singapura officially became Singapore’s National Anthem on Dec 3, 1959.
The new music video is a ground-up initiative separate from the new recording of the anthem by the Singapore Symphony Orchestra that will be broadcast on all radio stations at 11.20am on Dec 3 as part of a commemoration ceremony for the 60th anniversary of the anthem, the national flag and the state crest.
