Stand Up, Be Counted
When those good men fail
to stand up against foulness,
they reduce themselves,
surrender their true greatness.
Let’s stand up against
the politics of evil,
that spawn policies,
in league with the foul devil.
Make Malaysia fair!
Free it from all corruptions;
let’s have a nation,
freed from racist erruptions.
Life is real freedom,
to pursue our dreams,
in good harmony,
to make our nation the cream.
In democracy,
people’s voice is in voting
for the good people,
to helm the state by winning.
In this election,
let us stand up, be counted;
show we have a soul,
let righteousness be courted.
There can never be
excuse, justification,
for inhumanity,
and fellow man’s suppression.
Let our votes be right,
make Malaysia fair again;
right all the past wrongs,
let Malaysia rightness gain!
