Pancawarna

Pancawarna is the fifth studio album from Malaysian pop singer Siti Nurhaliza released in 1999.
"Kau Kekasihku" is the most highlighted song in this album for its popularity plus the voice of Siti Nurhaliza, the composition by Ajai and the melancholic lyrics by Alam Maya. It is said to have been the first song ever composed by Ajai himself to Siti.
Almost every song in this album really challenge Siti's vocal performance and the most highly enduring songs would be "Kurniaan Dalam Samaran" and "Nian Di Hati".
In Lembaran Cinta Pudar Siti made an attempt to have a brief monologue which is quite intriguing to listeners.
The song title Lelaki (warkah seorang anak) was specially dedicated to then-Prime Minister of Malaysia, Tun Dr. Mahathir bin Mohamad. The lyrics were written by Habsah Hassan and composed by one of the Kopratasa's member (Siso). This song is made special just for him as a remembrance of his contribution to Malaysia.
