Flag Anthem
The flag anthem is written as dedication and pride of the Malaysian national flag. It is performed on Hari Merdeka, the nation's independence day on August 31st every year. The original anthem Benderaku was written by Malaysian songwriter Tony Fonseka. After the flag was given the name Jalur Gemilang, the flag anthem was updated in 1997 to reflect this change. This was then followed by an introduction of a new flag anthem, with arrangements by Malaysian songwriter Pak Ngah and lyrics by Malaysian songwriter Siso Kopratasa.
| Benderaku by Tony Fonseka |
- Benderaku yang gagah perkasa
- Merah putih kuning biru warnanya
- Berkibar megah penuh bercahaya
- Pusaka kita rakyat Malaysia
- Bendera Malaysia oh benderaku
- Kupertahankan sepenuh ragaku
- Dikaulah lambang negara berpadu
- Di bawah naungan Duli Tuanku
- Berkibar terus oh benderaku
- Kaukan kujunjung sepanjang waktu
- Harumlah nama negara yang tercinta
- Padamu tempat taat dan setia
- Bendera Malaysia bendera kita
- Kemegahan rakyat kita semua
- Berkibar berkibar di ruang angkasa
- Dirgahayu bendera tercinta.
