A first Malaysian in space
Now Malaysia walks a bit taller
Amongst the developed nations
Telling Malaysia on the rise

In the country
PM, his cabinet and the people
Smiling happily for the occasion
The blast off perfect
A doctor in space

Yet I am not jubilant
Our space is our backdoors
The leaders pocket billions
Not to walk tall but tall in money
Leaving the people poor
Finding life hard to live by

This is wool over the eyes
Let the people forget sometimes
Excavating billions out of the nation
Leaving pittance for the people

And the people celebrate
All colors in one unity
The billions walk away
Out of their eyes
They think it is for space exploration

Malaysia walks tall
Backdoors the poor cry
The millions can be used
To feed and upgrade them

Though I am happy
We have a Malaysian in space
Yet my heart bleeds
For the poor and needy
And the economy………..

Ah….this is Malaysia Bolih
What more can I say
Money talks my friend
So the people will forget
