Majulah Singapura was composed during 1956-57 by the late Encik Zubir Said. It was first officially launched on 3 December 1959 with the National Flag and State Crest of Singapore on the inauguration of the head of state, Yang di-Pertuan Negara on the city hall steps. Majulah Singapura was adopted as Singapore's National Anthem on independence in 1965.
