Witness "Majulah" = a special collaboration between local urban artists Trase One and SKL0 (both a part of the RSCLS collective) - featuring spray paint on 48" x 36" canvas - is just about "perfect" for the upcoming Singapore's National Day (celebrating this Friday, August 9th). National Day is not just for Singaporeans, but for folks / "Foreign Talents" (represented by their respective country's flags) working in SG, no? Heh.
WHAT DOES MAJULAH MEAN: 'Majulah Singapura (Onward Singapore) is the national anthem of Singapore … Upon full independence in 1965, Majulah Singapura was formally adopted as Singapore's national anthem. By law the anthem may only be sung with its original Malay lyrics, although there exist authorized translations of the lyrics of the anthem in Singapore's three other official languages: English, Mandarin and Tamil.
The national anthem is regularly performed or sung in schools and armed forces camps at ceremonies held at the beginning and/or the end of each day, during which the national flag is also raised and lowered and the national pledge is taken. Singaporeans are especially encouraged to sing the national anthem on occasions of national celebration or national significance such as at the National Day Parade, at National Day observance ceremonies conducted by educational institutions and government departments, and at sporting events at which Singapore teams are participating.'
