LANGKAWI: The national anthem Negaraku cannot be sung in any other language except Bahasa Melayu by citizens of this country, said Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad. Dr Mahathir said Malaysians should know how to sing Negaraku in the national language as it was enshrined in the Constitution. “We cannot sing (Negaraku) in other languages. However, its meaning can be printed in books to enable non-Malays to understand the words’ meaning. Last Friday, the Education Ministry said it would conduct an investigation into a video clip showing pupils singing Negaraku in Mandarin.
