PN supporters 'adopt' Harapan GE15 theme song

The Padang Serai election concluded last night with a surreal scene, where Perikatan Nasional supporters were belting out Pakatan Harapan’s unofficial election theme song.

Several video clips have emerged showing the impromptu sing-along involving hundreds of PN supporters gathering outside the Kulim Hi-Tech Sports Complex, which served as the election counting centre.

The song in question was rapper Altimet’s ‘Aduh Malaysia’, which starts with the question “siapa sokong penyamun?” (who is supporting the bandits?).

A similar theme permeates throughout the rap portions of the song, begging listeners to be wary of corrupt politicians.

To many observers, ‘Aduh Malaysia’ was a dig at BN, which Harapan had often likened to “penyamun” over the years.

Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim would often sing the first verse of the song while on the campaign trail during the 15th general election last month.

In response to PN supporters singing his song, Altimet today tweeted “rap for the rakyat”.

‘Aduh Malaysia’ debuted in September, involving samples from the famous P Ramlee movie ‘Ali Baba Bujang Lapok’.

Altimet gained fame in the early 2000s as the emcee of the hip-hop group Teh Tarik Crew with DJ Fuzz and Mizz Nina.

He joined PKR last year and was elected as the party’s Ampang division chief in July.
