Oh, My Malaysia by Malini Lakshmi Bai

Oh, My Malaysia!
The heaven of vibrant cultures
The homeland of unity and liberty
The paradise of traditional cuisines
The land of festivals and traditions.

Oh, My Malaysia!
Jalur Gemilang is our nation’s pride
Yellow is the sign of royalty
Blue is the symbol of unity
Red is the color of courage
White is the representation of purity.

Oh, My Malaysia!
Nasi lemak, our national dish
Char koay teow, the flavoursome traditional Chinese dish
Banana leaf rice, the delectable Indian cuisine
Ngelulun pulut, the scrumptious food of East Malaysia.

Oh, My Malaysia!
Majestic Mount Kinabalu welcomes everyone
Not forgetting the paradise of Borneo islands
Merdeka 118, the iconic skyscraper of the capital city
Batu Caves, famed for its cave temple and rainbow stairs.

Oh, My Malaysia!
One of the most picturesque countries in the world
A land full of warm and hospitable people
A tranquil place in this huge globe
A place to call home.
