Malaysia is one of the Asian countries geographically located
in Southeast Asia. Malaysia is one of the few Federal Constitutional Monarchies
on Earth. The Malaysian peninsula has thirteen states and three federal
territories. One of the largest cities, Kuala Lumpur is the capital city of the
Malaysian peninsula.
The word Malaysia was derived from the Tamil words
"malay" which means "mountain" and the word "sia"
is a suffix that means "city". Hence Malaysia means the city of mountains.
Just like many other Asian countries, the Federation of
Malaysia was also under the control of United Kingdom till 1957. On 31st
August, 1957 Malaysia became independent from the United States. "Negaraku"
is the National Anthem of Malaysia. "My Country" is the meaning of
the phrase "Negaraku".
The National Anthem of Malaysia was taken from the French
melody "La Rosalie". They lyrics for this song was composed by Pierre-Jean de Béranger. This National Anthem
of Malaysia was formerly implemented as the state anthem of Perak. However in
1957, when Malaysia became independent, "Negaraku" was elected as the
National Anthem of Malaysia. There are different songs with the same melody
tune.
