I was passing through

A school located in the heart of Golden Triangle

On my way to work

I saw school children enjoying their physical education hour

With an oversized teacher

Eyeing her class

Lari dalam guni

Tarik bola dengan gelung rotan

Main kejar-kejar (pukul berapa datuk harimau)

They say

Education starts at home

Why are we building a sports centre in England

Why are we sending our athletes there?

To qualify for the Olympics?

When our children

Still

Lari dalam guni

Tarik bola dengan gelung rotan

Main kejar-kejar (pukul berapa datuk harimau)

Kasihan kita

Kasihan kita

Our schools are nothing

But tempat main-main

What a waste of money

What a waste of time

What a waste of future talent

Kera di hutan disusukan

Anak di rumah mati kelaparan

Kasihan kita

Kasihan kita

No wonder our ministries, dignitaries and wealthies

Send their children to international schools

Sekolah Kebangsaan masih main

Lari dalam guni

Tarik bola dengan gelung rotan

Main kejar-kejar (pukul berapa datuk harimau)

Kasihan kita

Kasihan kita
