Janji Ditepati (Kemerdekaan Malaysia Ke-55)
Macam malam ikut siang
Macam bulan ikut matahari
1Malaysia terus berjuang
Janji Kita ditepati
Kata Kita dikota
Janji Kita ditepati
Hidup Rakyat Dibela
Masa Depan Diberkati
Janji sudah ditepati
Kini masa balas budi
Korus:
Janji siapa? Janji kita
Janji apa? Janji 1Malaysia
Janji siapa? Janji kita
Janji apa? Janji 1Malaysia
Ini janji kita BR1M 1Malaysia
Ini janji 1Malaysia
TR1M 1Malaysia
Kata kita dikota
Kini 1Malaysia
Janji kita ditepati
Kedai 1Malaysia

Excerpt:
"...Look during some of a lyrics:
Janji sudah ditepati,
Kini masa balas budi.
Kini masa balas budi.
(Promises have been fulfilled,
Now it's time to return a favor.)
Now it's time to return a favor.)
This is crass; it's really asking a people to vote for BN. This is outright "I've helped you, now you help me".
But why should it be for a rakyat to balas budi? BN was voted in to serve a rakyat. Why contingency a rakyat be grateful for that? In fact, if anyone should balas budi, it should be BN.
The song, however, is not about a rakyat. And a carol which follows proves it:
Janji siapa? Janji kita.
Janji apa? Janji Satu Malaysia.
Janji apa? Janji Satu Malaysia.
(Whose promises? Our promises.
What promises? The promises of One Malaysia.)
What promises? The promises of One Malaysia.)
The strain is obviously about BN. The "kita" in it refers! to BN. And a discuss of "Satu Malaysia" obviously connotes a aphorism of a BN Government.
The misfortune is yet to come, in a last verse:
Ini janji kita, BR1M Satu Malaysia.
Ini janji Satu Malaysia, terima Satu Malaysia.
Kata kita dikota, Klinik Satu Malaysia.
Janji kita ditepati, Kedai Satu Malaysia.
Ini janji Satu Malaysia, terima Satu Malaysia.
Kata kita dikota, Klinik Satu Malaysia.
Janji kita ditepati, Kedai Satu Malaysia.
(This is a promise, BR1M One Malaysia.
This is a guarantee of One Malaysia, accept One Malaysia.
We have kept a word, Klinik Satu Malaysia.
We have over a promise, Kedai Satu Malaysia.)
This is a guarantee of One Malaysia, accept One Malaysia.
We have kept a word, Klinik Satu Malaysia.
We have over a promise, Kedai Satu Malaysia.)
The BR1M 500-ringgit handout to households earning reduction than RM3,000 a month is mentioned. The 1Malaysia clinics set up to suggest poor healing services have been mentioned. The Kedai 1Malaysia set up to suggest lower prices for simple necessities is mentioned. What is this if not BN trumpeting its populist attempts to win a electorate's votes?
These have been lyrics for a song? If not for a actuality which they have been so crude as well as cheap, you should be rolling on a building resounding with laughter.
How can such shameless propaganda be a stuff of a National Day thesis song? It is even totally without style as well as subtlety. Not to discuss substance.
Real songwriters would wince during hearing such lyrics. These have been not lyrics, these have been slogans.
The strain is not celebrating National Day. It's celebrating Barisan Nasional Day!..." - KoSong
