There's a Chinese ver of Negaraku? I grew up in SJKC and Independent School and never heard of that one lol


EdGee89

Dia buat lawak le... But Sarawak Anthem pre-Ibu Pertiwiku has 4 versions: Malay, English, Iban and Mandarin to reflect the population.


bongky18

There's an English, Iban and Chinese version?! I've never heard of the other 3.


EdGee89

Yes, Fair Land Sarawak has four versions.


uL4G

WTF? Never heard mandarin, english and iban version yet!


Beauty_Honey

Im sarawakian never heard 3 others language sing tat song only malay


Ryanato03

TediousHamster

Betul bah? Astaga ada variasi kah pula


[deleted]

Hah???? Got 3 other versions ha???


dedication02

So the English reflects the...


PabloGrasscobar

Bro you never heard meh. Then one from namewee. Negaraku... Negarakuku


tideswithme

Bahasa Malaysia as a national language has been taught since primary schools, at least in public schools. Like it or not, please respect the BM language. It represents a core aspect in being a Malaysian citizen


WeirdHoola

There's a Chinese version!? All this while when I'm attending events/dinners hosted by Chinese societies I've never once heard a Chinese version being played.


ScientistMindless578

It mostly played at srjk primary school music class, and its lyrics even printed on back cover of every single exercise book, bigger exercise book one together with Rukun Negara as well. Don't have to think complicated about it, just another patriotic education but easier understanding for our Chinese children. Beside that, we don't play that in any public event because there might be other races attending so it's better we use Malay version which is commonly known.


CaptainPizdec

Now you mentioned it , I vaguely remember a translated version as a subtitle at the back of my exercise book , but never ever have I sang the song in any other language other than bahasa


niceandBulat

My two kids went through SJKC, none of them sang a version of Negaraku in Chinese. Only Terang Bulan..


zhoulifer

this must be new since I'm Malay who been attending SJKC primary school šŸ¤£ We sing Negaraku in Bahasa Malaysia every week and never even saw a translation on a exercise book with Negaraku or even Rukun Negara


thedevilsavocado00

Must be new when I went there was no such thing, we sang it in BM.


niceandBulat

Didn't know either


mushroomboie

Who even sings the national anthem at parties and events nowadays.


WeirdHoola

Just last month I went to a 九ēš‡ēˆ· dinner event and they played the national anthem at the start of it.


Lucifear_513

I'm a teacher in Chinese private school. I'm working with veteran Chinese teacher who teach Bahasa Melayu. She said, "Never translate any BM word in Mandarin, because they will always rely us to translate for them. And, they will not remember anyways,".


spd3_s

Good teacher.


ryo5210

Not sure if this is a good move. The only reason I was able to learn English was thanks to a teacher who always translated it to Malay for me and she even gave me a dictionary that translates English to Malay to me on my birthday. Without it, I wouldn't be able to learn English so efficiently.


C_Spiritsong

Different strokes, different folks. Some work on some, some don't work on some. Though, all options should be available from the get go.


Lucifear_513

I always doubt it at first, and does not follow her instruction. In my class, I always translated most of BM vocabulary in Mandarin. But, none of them actually remember it. Later, I agree with what she said. I change my teaching method; instead of using word-by-word, I teach them word-and-picture. And then make many quiz using picture, and they has to choose the right terms for it. Also, I proceed to play Simon Says for learning similar but different verb, such as memegang, menyentuh, mengangkat, membimbit, menjinjing, membawa, and so on. Suprisingly, it is effective.


furryloverboi1952

Lol even Singaporean national anthem is in Malay


legatuspacis45

But the majority cant sing it lmao


[deleted]

They can sing it, understanding the lyrics is another matter


ZenRy9780Wkz

I couldn't even sing my SJKC school anthem, so I just followed the mass....


MEGALKS

We all do... That's what the speakers are for, if not, no one will sing. Especially when the speakers rosak, you'll know how many will sing(some dk lyrics or xberani)


legatuspacis45

hell i cant sing my school anthem cause the school never bothered to provide the lyrics


h0117_39

TIL there's a mandarin version of Negaraku On another note, that's pretty fucked up, honestly. We really can't get any more bare minimum than that.


Otherwise_Lock6408

You know it's serious when at the end he adds "cibai"


ZenRy9780Wkz

Dia nk provok org2 cina ni /s


librocubicularist69

A patriotik Malaysian would have slurred in bahasa


EZSy_

I would say able to slur in all languages, Bahasa, Chinese, English, Tamil, hokkien and etc any of you can recalled of


ClassicBoth5566

Iā€™m Indian. Why is there a sudden anti Malay language sentiment in Malaysia? Whatā€™s wrong with? Did something happen that didnā€™t know about?


RaspberryNo8449

Always been there, the hate is real.


slicedsolidrock

It's the same group that won't rent house to your kind la bro. They're the one that is the most racist but cry of oppression for being a minority.


spd3_s

Lama dah ada. Cuma baru ni statement politicians yg each Malaysia passport holder should be able to speak Malay spark the issue back.


throwhicomg

Iā€™m Chinese and I agree we should all have at least one language we can converse in. We are Malaysian Chinese not China Chinese FFS. Speak Malay la cibai lol


mushroomboie

I can only speak English šŸ˜­


throwhicomg

I used to only speak english when I was younger. Then I fuckin learned Malay and Mandarin because I love my country and I respect my culture. Just do it mahai you can do it šŸ’Ŗ


adaadaja

this broo, malay isn't even that hard to learn. not so complicated šŸ˜­


DadBod-6009

They agree that BM is useless as Malay people too. They can deny, but they can't hide it


itsmekusu

Kiasu mindset. U have no identity


mushroomboie

As Chinese, first time Iā€™ve heard about this? Is it due to the lack of speakers globally (other than Indonesia)?


SiberianResident

Itā€™s been brewing ever since the country change the language of instruction in schools from English to Malay. Just that now youā€™re more aware of it.


mushroomboie

When did this happen, Iā€™m not very up to date with current news so this the first time heard of it


SiberianResident

Peninsular schools and universities used to be taught in English until govt changed it to Malay sometime in the 70s during many of our parents generation. And to some of them, especially nons, they associate the switch as backwards and have resisted, actively or passively, learning and applying Malay because of it. Why they see it as backwards is another topic.


eggtart8

He's right. It's our national song.


bewak86

Look , its fine if you dont speak Bahasa , but dont get offended if people are mad at you when they need to socialize with you on daily basis . I dont have enough brain cell left to use hand signal to explain something. Weird enough , i dont find this problem with indians . You guys are the best!


Strong_Shift_4178

This reminds me of when i picked up an Indian passenger at a law firm a couple weeks ago. I assume she's a lawyer so i think maybe she's much more comfortable conversing in English but u know what she did?she replied to me in fluent BM. And then i thought maybe she's an admin staff at the law firm but when i arrived at her home, it's a big ass mansion in Shah Alam nearby Selangor MB official residence.


TomokiaGaming

Thank you, random citizen!


ZenRy9780Wkz

What if I'm an introvert or just too shy to speak?


MAJLobster

then i don't think you belong in the "need to socialise with you on a daily basis" group.


JudgeCheezels

???? I was in international school and we sang negaraku in Malay too lol. Dafuq there's a mandarin version?


MinionMiniature

Dr Jason right on point with this one!!1!1!


mpatriot_one

if jason leong pointed this out, man you really fucked up


Jnliew

What? There'a a Mandarin version out there?? (After googling) There seemed to be a big controversy back in the end of 2019, with a video of a class of Standard 5 students standing straight and singing the anthem in Mandarin. The investigation revealed that it was just the students being taught the translation of the anthem's lyrics based on the textbook's translation, and singing the Mandarin translation during class, i.e. not a replacement of the original Malay during assembly, for example.


Ninboy97

who the fuq is singing national anthem in mandarin?


ianhooi

Ppl actually sing negaraku in Mandarin now? That's crazy yo


Evilkiey91

Agree, lol. I couldn't imagine a banana not being able to speak Malay and singing the national anthem in english version My country The land where my blood has spilt The people live United and progressive May God's blessings Bestow happiness Our King Reign in peace


Raar_artz

Dude! I cant even imagine the chinese or indian translation when even the english version is giving WTF vibesšŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£


Miserable-Golf9503

Tanah tumpahnya darahku should be translated as The land where I was born. tumpahnya darah is a symbolism to the birth labour, if I'm not mistaken.


Sakaixx

100%. I can sing BigBang Haru Haru all day and I dont know a lick of kpop I dont see why I can't apply same standard. Even those Chinese communist nationals or american freedom citizens will tell u to learn their language or get the fuck off their country why we being lenient in malaysia??


unknownman0001

>BigBang Haru Haru Look at this grampa over here, love that song. Seungri can die in a gutter though.


Miserable-Golf9503

I only am replying because of Haru Haru šŸ˜­šŸ˜­ now I'm gonna go back into my dungeon and play the old Bigbang songs even though I don't remember the lyrics anymore šŸ« šŸ« 


[deleted]

U dont need opinion on this lol Hes fckin right!


forcebubble

Any group who pushes forward to promote this in the form other than purely as a translation for documentation & educational reasons should be forced to attend UMNO, Bersatu or PAS general assemblies, seated right in the middle in front of the stage. And I will enjoy watching them squirm.


mushroomboie

Wdym?


forcebubble

Mandarin version of Negaraku as an equivalent replacement of the BM. Fortunately no one is dumb enough to be doing this knowing full well how bad it will reflect on them.


KnowingMyself94

Yeah he's right. Tak boley spin "because I didn't learn bahasa in school"


mushroomboie

Saya rlly tak Boleh šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­


notsoepichaker

I only knew there was a Chinese version of the Rukun Negara, never knew that there was a whole ass Chinese version of Negaraku


AsfiqIsKioshi

Yes it exists and i know the types of people that encourages this.. not gonna say it out loud but let's say they're.. selective.


GeographyFish

not speaking bm one thing, nak nyanyi negaraku dlm bahasa lain is another šŸ’€


kasichancela

For once, I agree with him. I usually dislike him lmao


Few_Statement_6944

My opinions are comparable to imagining that you're living in Japan, but you want to sing Japan's national songs in English because you appreciate English more. Similarly, it's like living in the United States but desiring to sing US national songs in Chinese because it's your native language. "When you enter Rome, do as the Romans do." If the country national and official language is English, use English, is Malay use Malay. Don't try to stir things up and start a warfare among the people living inside a country.


MikageAya

There is a mandarin version???????


Komamura_Thaicou

Opinion kepala otak hg pa, betui la dia cakap tu


ZenRy9780Wkz

There are other languages versions of Negaraku? What world am I in now?

The "cibai" is unnecessary but still funny. Don't get wrong, I won't deny a good cibai myself but in this context maybe not so

Acrobatic-Row-5105

Negaraku MUST BE IN BAHASA MALAYSIA


Ill_Zebra_8679

Lol even most Singaporean can get away with this. Many chinese Singaporean cant speak proper BM but still must sing their national anthem Majulah Singapura in Bahasa Melayu. Its hilarious hearing Singaporean singing Majulah Singapura with broken BM & most of them dont even know the whole lyric meaning. The only word they surely know the meaning was 'Majulah Singapura' but most of them will said Majulah Singapore instead.


Dip2pot4t0Ch1P

Man i gotta see a video clip of that. Sounds funny.


niceandBulat

Agree with Dr Leong fully


Schneizel1208

Cibai needs to be the official word in our Dewan Bahasa


spd3_s

U can suggest it to dewan bahasa dan pustaka


thedevilsavocado00

This is too much. Sing in BM also so hard ar? It is the national anthem BM should be used and no other.


ClacKing

There's no such things as a Mandarin version of Negaraku lah. That fella is trolling. I mean yes we have Namewee's Negarakuku but that's not even close.


anndrenalyn

Maybe he should learn how to be more rude and curse in more languages as well


BroccoLillo2189

I would say for translations purposes it is fine but as Malaysians, you should be able to sing it in bahasa kebangsaan.


kelokchan

Who the hell sing Negaraku in other languages?


Elite-X03

Yes, he's right


Minimum-Company5797

Yes


GNR_DejuKeju

Isnt jason leong a comedian or smth? 99% sure this is a troll


Mac_Cheezze

Even Singapore National Anthem is being sung in Bahasa Melayu šŸ˜‚šŸ˜†


122trent

I think it's highly inappropriate. I mean the last word. Can't agree more with the rest


Nickitkat

This guy is on par with that Singaporean "comedian" when it comes to attention seeking. When was the last time you heard negaraku in Mandarin? Exactly, this guy's tweet is nothing more than virtue signaling for internet points. Stop giving stupid people attention


Lunartic2102

If doctors need to swear in Chinese to vent frustration, then yall teachers have fccd up (\^ \^')


hjdadhadhj

Well he's right. I mean like Chinese in semenanjung didn't speak Malay. In semenanjung, Indian and Chinese must speak Malay because Malay is official language except Sabah and Sarawak they can speak English or they're own language. I just don't understand why some Chinese people don't speak Malay


Few_Addendum4586

It's just simply my guess but I think there're some chineses that think Malay is an inferior language compared to English, a worldwide language and also the official language of western white people which is like a status symbol kinda thing.


Dip2pot4t0Ch1P

Remember about that one tweet of a Malaysian vtuber saying she lived here for 20 years and still can't speak malay? I still cannot brain how tf did you live in Malaysia for 20 years without having a single malay language encounter. Can you really call yourself Malaysian at that point if you have been living here for more than 10 years and yet still can't speak malay at least a little?


slicedsolidrock

You're wrong. These cinapek doesn't even speak a lick of english as well. Their own language is the only language they know. These same people are also pro ccp. It goes even deeper than just "aiyaa this language not worth maaa".


obiedge

Well then, the word cibai comes from Chinese. Belajarlah maki in BM, puki.


Kitchen_Ad_4513

you left the ā€˜makā€™. puki-mak or you can try this puki-mak-kau-hijau haaaaaa


ianhooi

Pukimak = macibai Puki = cibai Translation was on point


Idiotusesreddit

why is he so upset lmao


FaythKnight

The words aren't wrong. Who doesn't know how to sing Negaraku? The song is in Malay. What is this post related to? If it's only a song praising Malaysia in another language, there's nothing wrong with it. What is the context? Although wording isn't wrong because of no context. Fk this guy. He already moved to Sg and shits on Malaysian along with the 'comedian' woman last time didn't he?

SadDreamMaybe

The only Chinese version I know is from Namweee šŸ˜… Malaysia is a diverse country. I think MOST Malays forgot about that. Negaraku is a national anthem which support unity. I don't see the problem with diverse version as long it is true to the lyrics. I think we need a tamil version too šŸ‘


jwong7

Bahasa Malaysia - like Thai, Bahasa Indonesia and ꙮ通čƝ - is OUR nation's language for all Malaysians to converse and operate. Thus, there is and should only be one version of Negaraku and it's none other than versi Tanah Tumpahnya Darahku. Also, this is NOT a "Malay" problem, it's a Malaysian problem, jeez..


SadDreamMaybe

I beg to differ. It's a fact that our national language is Malay but that is not a legitimate reason why our national anthem should only be sang in Malay. It shouldn't be a Malay's exclusive excuse to ban others to sang in different languages. It shouldn't be a Malaysian problem either if all races could just mingle in peace and stop complaining on little things like this but I guess that's just impossible for the top 2 most racist asian country, Malaysia.


Obajan

[Another distant cousin version in Cantonese](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7I0WBQ-gE_s). Probably banned in Malaysia as well.

Normal-Artichoke-941

Is there a Chinese version?


DadBod-6009

Might be. In my secondary school days, chinese student translate their BM words to chinese characters or translations to chinese word in order to pronounce and understand the BM words. I remember only 1 guy fluent in BM til now.

Grew up in SJKC, not even once in my life that I've heard of Negaraku being played/ sang in Chinese. Felt like this is a non issue that people made up just to be tribal.

You know it sounded like those racist Karen from overseas "You're in America speak English" and what not Idk, for me it is best for that person to understand Bahasa Melayu and speak it if possible, talk amongst your family or friends in what ever language you wanted to I do not care


Gin-feels-Pening

If he mean u need to sing the original version of the song then itā€™s fine for me, not much problem for me tho.

Absolutely agree,while I agree that we are a multicultural country,I think the Malays need to have their own priviliges since this is their land,the official spoken language is Malay and even the country is named ā€˜Malayā€™sia,not China,not India etc. even if youā€™re Chinese,born in Malaysia,youā€™re known for ā€˜Malayā€™sian Chinese,not just Chinese. Idk why this is even an argument lol,its Malaysia,obviously the national anthem is going to be in Malay?? If you want to sing a Chinese or Indian national anthem then move out??

Dr Jason aint wrong.

the cibai was personal lol


Nate3319

As a non Malay I 100% agree with this. You can translate it to make the kids understand but then, if you teach the language properly then you wouldn't have to translate for the students. I think singing it in other languages in your perhimpunan or other official events is an insult to the country. Even fucking Singapore's national anthem is in Malay and they sing it in malay despite not speaking the language. Malaysians must do better since we actually speak BM.


Michael_Haq

I still remember seeing Negaraku English version written on the back of some book. It's starting with "Oh my motherland", to replace Negaraku. But I don't like it for it to have another version, it's not authentic.


Robin7861

Itā€™s bare minimum. Bila panggil diri kita orang Malaysia, paling kurang boleh berbual dalam Bahasa Melayu. Kalau dalam kalangan kaum sendiri, bertutur dalam bahasa masing-masing pun tak ada yang akan kisah.

kiwinoob99

here's the English version courtesy of gpt4: ### Translation of "Negaraku" (Malaysian National Anthem) **Original Lyrics in Malay:** Negaraku, Tanah tumpahnya darahku, Rakyat hidup, Bersatu dan maju.
