thread_title:  Actual Statement

message: In one paragraph, it says:
*The tune was borrowed from a popular song of that time, Terang Bulan, which was serving as the state anthem of Perak. The tune of Terang Bulan, in turn was borrowed from the song Mamula Moon, sang by Felix Mendelssohn and his Hawaiian Serenaders.
In another paragraph, something different is claimed:
*The song had been very popular on the island of Mahé in the Seychelles. where the Sultan of Perak had formerly been living in exile. He heard it at a public band concert on the island, a song to a popular French melody, originally composed by the lyricist Pierre Jean de Beranger...
So which song is Negaraku adapted from? Is it Mamula Moon, or that folk song Sultan Abdullah heard in the Seychelles?
(If they were all the same tune, this would mean that Mamula Moon could have been taken from that song they played in the Seychelles.)
Which one is it?
This is part of our country's history; we should get the facts straight.
One last thing...(just a personal reflection which I thought I'd share): I have an mp3 file of Felix Mendelssohn's Mamula Moon. As a Malaysian, I should admit I was slightly dismayed when I found out that Negaraku is a mere adaptation of an American pop song from 1947. It's quite embarrassing, really.
Just me thinking out loud.

replies: text: To clairify:  Negaraku is based on Allah Lanjutkan Usia Sultan which is based on the Seychellois tune.  Mamula Moon is based on Terang Bulan, which is based on an Indonesian opera, (which might have been based on Allah Lanjutkan Usia Sultan) which is based on the Seychellois tune.  I hope this sorts it out, and I altered the lead paragraph to somewhat ease the confusion.  --Canuckguy 23:37, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Contradictory statements

message: There seems to be a pretty good write up in the Bahasa Melayu Wikipedia on this article :
Negaraku on BM Wikipedia
Even the related articles, ie. on Terang Bulan and the Perak Anthem is more comprehensive than the one available here in the English site.
I'd do a translation and update here but I'm still trying to get the hang of the Wikipedia formatting codes. Anybody want to give it a try?

thread_title:  Article Update 

message: Terang Bulan is a misguided article. Terang Bulan is not the state anthem of Perak. Terang Bulan is a romantic song derived from Hawaiian music Mamula Moon. From this origin, the state of Perak dervied its anthem Allah Lanjutkan Usia Sultan and later Malaysia adopted the music into Negaraku. I oppose merger though, because Terang Bulan is a Malay song derived from Mamula Moon, and have no relation with Negaraku. --Zack2007 05:29, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Strongly oppose. Negaraku is a national anthem and should not be merged 50:50 with Terang Bulan for respect. If there is merger, Terang Bulan should be placed as a sub-topic.ADouBTor 13:49, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

Great Britain was founded on an empire of piracy and genocide, and their history books do not hide that.

replies: text:  Amen to what the poster above said. So Malaysia's national anthem was derived from a popular cabaret tune and not composed by the immortal founding fathers of Malaysia under some sort of divine revelation. Boo hoo. Get over it and move on.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.75.167.74 (talk) 00:30, 9 November 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Proposed Merger 

message: This is obviously a no-brainer. I'll creating a sub article to accompany this topic. Any needed split of info will be done, and the bias crap and racial profiling on the section will be rid if no notable citations to these claims are made. - Two hundred percent 03:25, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Usage in television? 

message: We have the statement that the tune comes from a popular French melody titled "La Rosalie" composed by the lyricist Pierre-Jean de Béranger.  This may well be correct via the francophone Seychelles and Sultan Abdullah Muhammad Shah II of Perak.  The problem is that Pierre-Jean de Béranger was a lyricist and his article says he wrote lyrics but did not compose any music; he set the words to a pre-existing melody such as a folk tune.  So while he may have written the words to "La Rosalie" and so popularised the accompanying tune, he probably did not compose the music, and the music is presumably older. 18:13, 11 August 2019 (UTC)
