The late composer, Zubir Said, wrote the national anthem around the two words ‘Majulah Singapura’ (Onward Singapore) over 1956 to 1957 before Singapore gained independence from the British rule. Originally the City Council’s official song, it was first performed by the Singapore Chamber Ensemble during the official opening of the renovated Victoria Theatre on 6 Sep 1958. It was accepted as the National Anthem in Nov 1959. |
