"cool" by the Chairman. "The choice of colour and design for the uniforms are deemed as
"cool", a popular theme among teens and the younger generation,” he said.
The

The
anthem, which departs from military marching tunes and sounds radio-friendly, is the winning creation of Datuk Wah Idris. Islahuddin Ibrahim from Malacca wrote the lyrics. Datuk Wah previously composed the Commonwealth Games theme song “Standing in the Eyes of the World” and re-arranged the NegaraKu recently.
