SINGAPORE: Singapore’s national anthem, Majulah Singapura (meaning “Onward Singapore” in Malay), will be updated as part of celebrations to mark the 60th anniversary of the city-state’s national symbols.
The new version is a rendition by the Singapore Symphony Orchestra, Minister for Culture, Community and Youth Grace Fu said yesterday.
After Singapore attained self-governance in 1959, then Deputy Prime Minister Toh Chin Chye expressed interest in adopting it as the national anthem. The occasion also marked the swearing-in of Yusof Ishak as Singapore’s first Malayan-born head of state. He later became Singapore’s first president.
