Fine or jail for disrespect to Negaraku
KUALA LUMPUR: Anyone who shows disrespect when the Negaraku is played – either by refusing to stand, sing the anthem or cause a disturbance – can be fined RM100 or jailed up to month.
This provision under the National Anthem Act 1965 would, however, be enforced only if there is poor response to an upcoming campaign to instil love and respect for the song, said Deputy Information Minister Datuk Donald Lim.
“The aim of the campaign is to inculcate a sense of patriotism.
“This (the ruling) will be enforced if there are still samseng (rebels),” he said here yesterday.
The Negaraku will be played before the start of all official Government functions or private sector events attended by Government representatives during the Kempen Pembudayaan dan Penghayatan Lagu Negaraku, which is scheduled to be launched in the middle of next month.
Kindergartens, schools and institutes of higher learning were also required to play the national anthem at their weekly assemblies and before their morning or afternoon sessions, said Lim.
Even when Government representatives are not present, organisers of public and private functions are encouraged to play the Negaraku.
On feedback by the public that daily repetition of the anthem could lead to overkill, Lim said such comments should not be made when it comes to the Negaraku.
“Some people may have actually forgotten the words of the Negaraku. If they hear it often, they will remember it after a while,” he said.
In Putrajaya, Information Minister Datuk Seri Abdul Kadir Sheikh Fadzir said the singing of the national anthem before movie screenings would not be appropriate.
“Negaraku should only be sung at appropriate times and only when the occasion calls for it,” he told reporters.
Backbenchers' Club chairman Datuk Shahrir Samad said he could not see a positive impact of enforcing the Act.
“After 48 years of independence, why are we still so insecure about the loyalty of the rakyat?” he said.

Negaraku will be played for all government events and functions.
It may also be played in the cinema before a movie is shown. Geez, can you imagine standing up straight in TGV/GSC?

happy throne to our king (if want to be literal) but ruling is good enough translation i think
:D
IMHO, still cacat!!! :p --- i mean the song
i used to think it was boring, but now i think it's ok. if you think about it, the US didn't get an anthem until like 50 years later or whatever (i forget exactly) even though the poem was written at the time of the Revolutionary War. so the way i look at it, we are still finding our way.
negaraku is like zen - its simplicity makes you ponder it more...

Lim: Drive meant to make anthem a way of life
PETALING JAYA: The campaign to instil love and respect for the national anthem is aimed at making those feelings part of our culture, Deputy Information Minister Datuk Donald Lim Siang Chai said.
He said the campaign, which was approved by the Cabinet, would see the national anthem being played at all official government functions.
Lim said it was not the intention of the campaign to threaten people with fines and jail if they showed disrespect when the national anthem was being played.
“What I was merely doing was to point out that the National Anthem Act 1965 provided for a fine of RM100 or one month’s jail for those who did not stand at attention when the national anthem was played,” he said.
It was reported yesterday that Lim had said anyone who showed disrespect when the Negaraku was being played – by refusing to stand or sing the anthem or by causing disturbance – could be fined or jailed.
He was also quoted as saying that the law would be enforced if the response to the campaign was poor.

My translation for the English version of Negaraku
My country,
The land where I spilled my blood,
Citizens lived united and prosper,
Prosperous joy, God blessed
Our King safely enthroned
Prosperous joy, God blessed
Our King safely enthroned
Hope it helps. The malay word rahmat meant "auspicious", "charm", "lucky" but i think the most suitable english word for the translation of rahmat in the context of our national song is prosperous
MFG
