Setitik Embun - Indonesian and French Art Song Recital









Setitik Embun
Ku titik di daun setitik embun
Indah berseri menawan nubari

Hendak ku pegang, hatiku sayang
Takut kan djatuh kalau tersentuh

Aku bimbang tinggal terlena
Terkenang selalu kan air mata

Ia djatuh kerna sengsara
Tak tahan lama mendrita djiwa

Kerna aku dah tahu
Air mata meniti
Kalau hatiku telah tersentuh




Malaysian Red Crescent started as a British Red Cross branch in 1948. Upon independence of Malaya in 1957, it came to be known as the Federation of Malaya Red Cross Society. After the adoption of the Geneva Conventions by the Government of Malaysia through the passing of the Geneva Conventions Act, 1962, Parliament in the same year passed the Federation of Malaya Red Cross (Incorporation) Act, 1962. This Act was however subsequently repealed and replaced by the Malaysian Red Cross Society (Incorporation) Act ,1965. Following the adoption by the Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies of the Red Crescent emblem (in addition to the Red Cross emblem), the name of Malaysian Red Cross Society was changed to Malaysian Red Crescent Society in 1975. This year, Malaysian Red Crescent celebrates its 60th year of existence in this country.
MRCS' ultimate aim is to be self sustaining in the multi-faceted humanitarian projects/undertakings that it carries out and is continously looking for fresh donations and contributions to fund such projects/undertakings. Your warm and kind support of this multi-faceted humanitarian cause is very much welcome.
With your RM50 charity contribution towards the Setitik Embun concert, you will be entertained by pianist Kok-Ting Chong and soprano Irma Lailatul Munira, with a special poetry reading by Malaysian National Laureate, YBhg Datuk A. Samad Said & YBhg. Datuk Nordin Razak.
