There are good songs, and there are meaningful songs. But, there are those rare songs which fall in the intersection of the two sets... and this is one of them. Presenting "Here In My Home" by the Malaysian Artistes For Unity (MAFU):
..
MAFU is, as you will or have seen from the video, is a collaboration of Malaysian singers, producers, businessmen, footballers, and there's a florist, too, I was told, coming together to produce a song and a video to promote unity in Malaysia. I have, and am obliged, to tell you that this group is non-partisan, non-profit, and politically independent group, i.e. not associated to the Barisan Nasional, Pakatan Rakyat or any other persons (including ex-PMs), and is not spreading their manifestos in any way, and not trying to make any money out of (the already burdened with increased petrol price) Malaysians. And it's a great song too... now, if only they adopt it as one of those songs schoolchildren sing during the Merdeka month. I'm, honestly, getting tired of "Keranamu Malaysia".

PS: Their website is www.malaysianartistesforunity.info. Go check it out for song downloads, and other interesting things about the group. Oh, and it's well humoured too.
