 Upon full independence in 1965, ""Majulah Singapura"" was formally adopted as Singapore's national anthem.By law the anthem may only be sung with its original Malay lyrics, although official translations exists in English, Mandarin and Tamil.Originally composed in the key of G major, in 2001 the national anthem was officially relaunched in the lower key of F major as this was said to allow for a "grander and more inspiring arrangement".
