:arrow: THE THEME SONG - CITRAWARNA
Wajah mesra satu jiwa
Berbudaya seia sekata
Berbagai budaya aneka resamnya
Sopan santun budi kita dalam rumpun kasih bonda
Langkah mara satu cita
Takkan hilang dari dunia
Terdengar suara laungan sentosa
Sudah ternyata jalannya ke puncak jaya
Bertemasya (hei!), bergembira
Dalam rupa ada kata
Bersemarak (hei!), ikut rentak
Iramanya penyatu nusa
Usah digentarkan setiap cabaran
Berpimpinlah tangan dalam satu barisan
Lukisan mesra pada kota impian
Citrawarna wajah Malaysia
Usah digentarkan setiap cabaran
Berpimpinlah tangan dalam satu barisan
Lukisan mesra pada kota impian
Citrawarna wajah Malaysia
Gemilang budaya, gemilang lamanya
Anggun sejahtera dalam satu negara
Berpayung kita pada rimbun pusaka
Citrawarna wajah Malaysia ... Citrawarna

Specially designed to replace the old and boring Fascinating Malaysia campaign, Malaysia Truly Asia is Malaysia's newest global tourism marketing campaign to attract foreign visitors to Malaysia. It is the best and most successful campaign to date. As the result, Malaysia is the third most visited country in Asia after China and Hong Kong, surpassed Thailand as South East Asia top destination and among in the top 20 most visited country in the world. (*Source World Tourism Organization).

“Cuti-cuti Malaysia” or “Holiday in Malaysia” is a national campaign launched in 1999 by Ministry of Tourism (formerly known as Ministry of Culture, Arts and Tourism) and Tourism Malaysia to boost and encourage domestic travel and holiday among Malaysian. Beside that, the campaign was specially designed to help Malaysian economy deeply suffered by Asian economic crisis during that time. This song (and the campaign), sang by Malaysia's sweetheart and no. 1 singer, Siti Nurhaliza, is very popular among many Malaysians. :-D
Together with the successful Malaysia Truly Asia campaign, this brilliant idea came from the best Tourism Minister Malaysia ever had, Dato’ Paduka Abdul Kadir Bin Haji Sheikh Fadzir, now the Information Minister.
