Songs entitled "Ini Kali Lah"

Even before STAR Sabah adopted the phrase as its battlecry, it has been in popular use for quite some time, for example by the Sabah football team's fan club in 2011:



There are quite a few songs uploaded to youtube, some so-so, some horrendous.

IMHO here are the best ones, in order of preference.

MrDD - Bah! Tunggu Apa Lagi? Ini Kali Lah (2012): this is a demo version, but I like the arrangement, melody & the overall rock feel. Headbanging mode starts 1:50



Drs Kustin Ladi - Ini Kali Lah Kita Menang (2012) (words/lyrics: Drs Kustin Ladi): excellent chorus, a sure singalong hit:

kalau bukan kita siapa lagi
kalau bukan sekarang bila lagi
ini kali lah
ini kali kita pasti menang



Only grouse is that the chorus comes in rather late, at 1:43. Drs Kustin is apparently the original singer of the 1990 local favourite Muka Kayu Balak, and a pro-opposition teacher known for his oratory skills.

Justin Lusah - Ini Kali Lah (2012): this is the official song of STAR Sabah, officially launched on 20th April 2012. (Music: Justin Lusah, lyrics: Maklin Masiau [STAR Sabah Kudat Division chief]). Perhaps notable is that civil servants are also involved in the party.



Clarence Anthonius - Ni kali Lah (2012?): jumping on the "Ini Kali Lah" bandwagon, Clarence sings a love song, which has nothing to do with politics.
