1Malaysia songs to go on air.

KUALA LUMPUR(7 July) : 1Malaysia songs, in different rhythms, from slow and melodious to energetic marches, will soon fill the air waves. Six songs, themed "1Malaysia, People First, Performance Now" were picked from 341 entries in a month-long contest in May.

They were sent in by well-known composers as well as newcomers.

Of the six songs which were picked, two were by Nik Nizam Jaafar, with lyrics by Lokman Ghani.


There were also two songs composed by Datuk Mokhzani Ismail of Radio Televisyen Malaysia's music department, with lyrics by Chuari Selamat.


The other two songs were from Datuk Suhaimi Mohd Zain (lyrics by Syed Indra Syed Omar or Siso) and the LimKokWing Sound and Music Design Academy Sdn Bhd.

Each of the six songs earned their composers and lyricists RM8,000 and certificates, which were presented to them yesterday by Information, Communications and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim. The ministry had organised the competition.

Rais said the songs were meant to soothe the mood of the rakyat and stimulate their sentiments.

He said copies of the songs would be distributed to the various departments and communities nationwide. -NSTonline-
