History
The origins of the anthem date back to 1947,[4] when there was a yearning on the part of some Bruneian youths that their country should have a national anthem, like all the other modern countries. Two youths were entrusted with the task of developing the melody and writing the lyrics. Their combined efforts produced the anthem currently in use. It was composed by Besar Sagap, and the poet was Pengiran Muhammad Yusuf.[5][3]
Before its formal release, the anthem was also developed further, particularly by Malay teachers. Some of the key figures who contributed included Mohamed Sum Hashim, the first to introduce the melody to Brunei Town Malay school children. The anthem gained popularity when other teachers began to teach it to their students across the state. In a matter of weeks, the melody and lyrics had been committed to memory by a large number of school children. Although yet to be officially accepted, the anthem was being played at public events such as concerts, official openings, and otherceremonies, where it was given the same respect as the British national anthem, "God Save the King".[5][3]
Royal consent for the anthem was provided in 1947 when Sultan Ahmad Tajuddin attended a flag-raising ceremony at Brunei Town as part of the anniversary celebration of the political party Script error: No such module "Lang".. During the ceremony, the Sultan broke the party's standard to the tune of the anthem played by Besar, an early acceptance of what would become the national anthem.[5] After Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien III was crowned on 6 June 1950, the issue of the composition of the national anthem was reopened.[6] The anthem was officially adopted at latter's coronation on 31 May 1951.Template:Efn[7][3]
