History
editThe first state anthem of Selangor was composed in 1908. It was a re-interpretation of the folk song Chantek Manis by Daniel Ortego. The lyrics to that are as follows:
- Allah selamatkan Duli Yang Maha Mulia,
- Kekal dan selamat di-atas Takhta,
- Panjangkan umur dan aman sentosa,
- Adil mewah murah memerintah rata,
- Daulat!
In 1967, Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah, then the Sultan of Selangor, announced that the song would be replaced with the present anthem.[2]
