KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 28 — Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad today announced a special cinematic teaser featuring the entire Cabinet performing with the Yang di-Pertuan Agong in conjunction with the 62nd Merdeka celebrations.
Dr Mahathir tweeted the 37-seconds video featuring several shots of the performance including one with all Cabinet ministers lined up similarly to a choir performance against the backdrop of the Malaysian flag.
Also featured in the video is a quick shot of the song performance titled Setia.
In the video, the first verse of the song’s lyrics is seen as followed,
“Demi negara yang tercinta,
dicurahkan bakti penuh setia,
demi raja yang disanjung tinggi, kesetiaan tak berbelah bagi.”
Dr Mahathir is also seen leading the performance as he is positioned at the front of the group, against the silhouette of a conductor.
An empty microphone is also seen beside Dr Mahathir, alluding to His Majesty Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah performing alongside the troupe.
