Talk:Terang Bulan

Terang Bulan is not the state anthem of Perak

This is a misguided article. Terang Bulan is not the state anthem of Perak. Terang Bulan is a romantic song derived from Hawaiian music Mamula Moon. From this origin, the state of Perak dervied its anthem Allah Lanjutkan Usia Sultan and later Malaysia adopted the music into Negaraku. I oppose merger though, because Terang Bulan is a Malay song derived from Mamula Moon, and have no relation with Negaraku. --Zack2007 05:30, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

After running through the article, as what mr Zack said, this is indeed a misguided article. Neither Allah Lanjutkan Sultan nor Negaraku was adopted from Terang Bulan and I dont see the relevance in putting their info here. It is obviously means to create a misguided impression that both the Perak Anthem & Negaraku derived from this song (سڠ ڤڠليڤور لارا (talk) 07:22, 24 October 2012 (UTC))

All these idiotic arguments can be distilled and stated simply: The melody of Terang Bulan was composed by a Frenchman, originally called "La Rosalie". It became popular across the Indian Ocean and spread to South East Asia, where the Sultan of Perak adopted the same melody as the State Anthem (Allah Lanjutkan Sultan). It also became the melody for the song called Terang Bulan. Later during Independence, Malaysia adopted the same melody for its national anthem (Negaraku). All these info can be found on the "Negaraku" page if you guys bothered to cross reference. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.75.167.74 (talk) 00:24, 9 November 2012 (UTC)
