Majulah Singapura

national anthem of Singapore
(Redirected from Onward Singapore)

"Majulah Singapura" (Jawi: ماجولاه سانڬاڤورا, Malay pronunciation: [ma.dʒu.la(h) si.ŋa.pu.ra]; "Onward Singapore") is the national anthem of Singapore. It was written and composed by Singaporean musician Zubir Said in 1958. Seven years later, the anthem was adopted. This song must be sung in Malay, although there are translations provided in the country's three other official languages—English, Mandarin Chinese, and Tamil.[1][2]

Singaporeans are encouraged to sing the national anthem during times of national celebration or at important national events such as at the National Day Parade, at National Day observance ceremonies held by government departments and educational institutions such as schools and universities, and at sports events that Singapore teams take part in.
