Oh Malaysia

Is a 1963 hit for Anneke Gronloh, who in 2000, was named the singer of the century.

The lyrics to the Dutch singer's Oh Malaysia goes something like this :

Oh, Malaysia - land of glory
Where I found my heart's true love
In a night so warm and tender
With the moon and stars above

On the shore, beyond the tropical sea
You will stand to welcome me
On the shore, beneath the sky so blue
All my dreams at last will come true

This song is unofficially banned on the local Airwaves, after Parin Kitingan''s PBS had used it as their theme, to gain power in SABAH.

Thats a story for another day. The story today is that TripAdvisor had named three Malaysian cities, namely Kuching, Kota Kinabalu and George Town as among the top ten places in ASIA to visit in 2017.

The STAR, carried the story yesterday, but as for New Straits Times, well, your guess is good as MINE.
