JAKARTA - The Indonesian public was enlivened by allegations of plagiarism by the YouTube channel Song Kanak TV from Malaysia which changed the song Halo, Halo Bandung to Hello Kuala Lumpur.

Meanwhile, both songs are very identical. Both use mars styles, consisting of one part that is repeated, 4/4 biration and perfect use of perfect authentication or perfect cadences.

If Halo, Halo Bandung is a song composed by Ismail Marzuki to commemorate the Bandung Lautan Api incident in the 1940s period, then Hello Kuala Lumpur is a song that is intended as a child's song and uploaded in 2018.

With different goals, the lyrics of the song Hello Kuala Lumpur are made in such a way. However, it still appears that the lyrics are made following the lyric structure of the song Halo, Halo Bandung. This can be seen from MMA at the end of each line of lyrics.

If it's Halo, Halo Bandung in the first row refers to Bandung as the capital city of Priangan, then Hello Kuala Lumpur uses the diction of the capital city of Riau Islands.

Then, the third and fourth rows look different, although the rhythm is still the same.

"It's been a long time since I've met you. Now it's been a sea of fire, let's fight for it again," reads the song Halo, Halo Bandung.

"It's been a long time since I've met you. Now it's getting more and more advanced, I really like it," reads the song Hello Kuala Lumpur.

Meanwhile, the song melodies with the mars style of the two songs are also identical, where each piece of the word consists of one tone.

However, on the song Hello Kuala Lumpur there are several changes in terms of song melodies, especially in the third and fourth rows.

In the word'me' in the third row of the song Hello Kuala Lumpur, there is a ghost note or a shadow tone before entering the main tone.

Then, the difference in the fourth row of each song is the most striking.

In the song Halo, Halo Bandung there are 21 catalysts with 21 tones in one melody phrase.
