This anthem was adopted in 1897. During that time, the anthem has no lyrics until 1914 when a staff member of the Hong Kong Bank (now HSBC) in Johor Bahru, Hubert Allen Courtney, wrote the first English words and Haji Mohamed Said Hj. Sulaiman rewrote it in Malay. It was adapted from the famous Malay tune "Dondang Sayang". A state anthem of Johor.
