Angry floods raged across the land
Homes ravaged, livestock drowned
Displaced people to high land
Without meals, hunger taunted
Naked bodies shivered in night’s cold
Water-borne diseases mounted
Dire miseries of evacuees, untold
Electricity cut, they lived in darkness
Crowded hospitals, lacked doctors
Submerged roads, broken bridges
Relatives separated, aid in tatters
Heeded a call to give a hand
Malaysians of a varied kind
Crossing race, religion and stand
Overwhelmingly donated cash and kind
Volunteered uninhibited services
Displayed heart of Malaysian culture
Truly, a people of one heart and voice
Stood together, facing a flood disaster
Carrying Nation’s flag, true-blooded patriots
Marched forward and did us proud!
None envisaged such inherent spirit exists
Humbling message: Malaysian-oneness is loud!
