Forgotten Merlion ...

I was watching telly today and came across this young budding Singaporean film maker, Ghaz, who made this short film which I taught was so hilarious but true. We see this in schools where despite efforts made by Music Teachers to teach the kids our National Anthem, it's still badly sung. I guess it's because the lyrics are in Malay and the non-Malays may not remember the words but I think it's important enough for us to emphasise and encourage our young ones to pronounce the words correctly, and more importantly understand what the words mean.

Ghaz went around Singapore inviting adults to sing our national anthem, Majulah Singapura. And as expected, there were barely anyone who can sing the song in whole, not even some of the Malays (how malu-ating!). So sit back and enjoy:
