Is the melody of Malaysia’s 55th National Day’s theme song “Janji Ditepati” SIMILAR to an Indonesian gospel song “Serukan NamaNya”?
“Serukan Namanya” which means Call out His name. It is performed by a Christian band called True Worshippers.
As I am no musician or musicologist, I am NOT sure. They both sound music to my ears.
