Negaraku (meaning My Country in Malay) is the national anthem of Malaysia. It was selected as a national anthem at the time of the Federation of Malaya's independence from Britain in 1957. The tune was originally used as the state anthem of Perak, which was adopted from the Indonesian folk song "Terang Bulan".

There have been some controversies related to this anthem, one of which was the allegation raised by Lokananta, an Indonesian state-owned recording company, that Negaraku imitated an Indonesian song name 'Terang Boelan'.
