The Origins of Negara Ku-Contentious?

While our Inodnesian brothers are making a ruckus that the Malaysian national anthem sounds so much like their song 'Terang Bulan', we have another source that said it came from m the South Seas or possibly,Hawaii. Then again, we know it came as a song from that old Dutch film, 'Orange County'.

Listen to 'Mamula Moon'. Does it sound have we have lifted some bars from this number?



Now listen to 'Terang Bulan'from Indonesia. Eerily familiar?



Now let us compare. So which is the original?



So, are copyright issues involved here? How about national pride?

That is the $64,000 question!
