AS the nation heads into the last 10-day period before the official start of the KL2017 Games on Aug 19, the last theme song titled “Bangkit Bersama” was launched on Tuesday (8 August 2017) at the Pavillion Shopping Mall in Kuala Lumpur.
Composed by leading composer Dato’ Ramli MS and performed by Malaysia’s top singer Dayang Nurfaizah, “Bangkit Bersama”, initiated through a crowdsourcing campaign where ideas and stories were contributed via social media and incorporated as inspiration for the lyrics of the song.
The organisers received more than a hundred submission of ideas and stories from the public for the song, launched by Youth and Sports Minister YB Brig Gen Khairy Jamaluddin.
‘Bangkit Bersama’ completes the list of three official songs of KL2017. The other two songs are “Tunjuk Belang” performed by monoloQue x Azlan x maliQue and “So Many Hands” or “Tangan Tangan Yang Menjulang” by Mia Palencia for the KL2017 brand film.
“Today I’m presenting a song that is owned and written by all fans and supporters of KL2017. Sing it with great pride, so the spirit can be felt and shared with all athletes in the region,” said YB Brig. Gen. Khairy.
At the ceremony, YB Brig Gen Khairy also announced the inclusion of Pavilion as KL2017 silver sponsor and ?Official mall of the Games.
Some 1,000 figurines of RIMAU, the official mascot, were launched and will be exhibited at the main entrance of the mall throughout the duration of KL2017.
Following Pavillion’s sponsorship deal, an overall total of RM101.5 million has been raised through sponsorships in cash, kind and services from various companies and parties for the 2017 Games.
The amount surpassed MASOC’s original overall sponsorship target of RM80 million.
“Our aim is to reach the RM80 million mark but instead, we’ve have surpassed the target. This could be the final amount as we’re 10 days away from the Games but our doors are still open for sponsorships,” said YB Brig Gen Hairy.

LAGU RASMI KL2017 “BANGKIT BERSAMA” UNTUK BAKAR SEMANGAT RAKYAT
KEMERIAHAN detik-detik akhir menjelang bermulanya Sukan SEA Kuala Lumpur 2017 semakin memuncak dengan pelancaran lagu tema terakhir temasya berjudul ‘Bangkit Bersama’.
Menteri Belia dan Sukan, Brig Jen YB Khairy Jamaluddin menyempurnakan pelancaran lagu yang digubah komposer terkenal Dato’ Ramli MS di pusat membeli belah Pavilion, Kuala Lumpur.
Lagu yang dinyanyikan bintang terkenal Dayang Nurfaizah itu akan digunapakai sebagai lagu utama bagi keseluruhan temasya KL2017.
Pelancaran lagu ‘Bangkit Bersama’ pada Selasa (8 Ogos 2017) melengkapkan tiga lagu tema yang dicipta untuk KL2017.
Dua lagu lain yang dilancarkan sebelum ini ialah ‘Tunjuk Belang’ nyanyian monoloQue ft Azlan dan ‘So Many Hands’ oleh Mia Palencia untuk iklan rasmi KL2017.
“Kini sudah ada tiga lagu, kita ada lagu untuk semua peringkat rakyat Malaysia. Sebab lagu kena menepati citarasa, ada suka genre rock, balada, lagu feel dan ketiga-tiga lagu ini akan dinyanyikan ketika upacara pembukaan pada 19 Ogos,” kata YB Khairy.
Tambah beliau lagi, “Semua lagu nyata hebat…lagu Mia umpamanya berkenaan jutaan tangan-tangan yang menjulang seorang juara manakala lagu monoloQue mengenai keberanian sehingga titisan darah terakhir, lirik sangat bersemangat bagi atlet.
Lagu Bangkit Bersama pula digubah dari lirik dihantar seluruh rakyat Malaysia. Dato’ Ramli pilih perkataan dari setiap lirik dan masukkan ke dalam gubahan. Ini lagu yang diusahakan semua rakyat, membawa maksud hasrat dan harapan rakyat.”
Pada majlis sama, YB Brig Jen Khairy turut mengumumkan pusat beli belah terkenal Pavilion sebagaipenaja perak dan KL2017.
Sempena penajaan, Pavillion menampilkan gimik tersendiri dengan pelancaran pameran 1,000 patung maskot RIMAU yang diletakkan di kawasan pintu masuk utama pusat membeli belah tersebut bermula 8 Ogos 2017 hingga tamat KL2017 pada September nanti.
Hasil penajaan itu, jumlah tajaan keseluruhan KL2017 dalam bentuk tunai, barangan dan perkhidmatan, kini berjumlah RM101.535 juta, sekaligus melebihi sasaran RM80 juta yang ditetapkan.
“Sasaran kita RM80 juta, dan kini hampir mencecah 127 peratus. Ini mungkin jumlah muktamad kerana dengan baki 10 hari sebelum bermula KL2017, rasanya tidak ada syarikat lain akan tampil sebagai penaja baru walaupun kita tidak tutup. MASOC berpuas hati dengan jumlah keseluruhan tajaan,” katanya.
