Plagiarism? you judge
This song, titled Aspalela, is a recent hit in Malaysia. Though I have taken Malay class back then in Sec 3 and Sec4, I barely able to decypher the lyrics. Some people said the tone is very similar to Indonesia’s children song of ‘Abang Tukang Bakso‘ (‘Meatballs Seller’). I have no nothing to say. You hear it for yourself. Ignore the lyrics.
This is the Aspalela
This is the ‘Meatball’ seller which had been popularized by Melisa few decades ago
Wondering if all the copyright issue has been settled. All songs are hosted at imeem.

Oh my! Sylvia (see comment #1) mentioned that in addition to similar ‘kiddish tone’, the melody of Aspalela also similar to another old Indonesian song ‘Bintang Kejora” (’Morning Star’). It is very difficult to get the online copy of that song but here is it or you to compare (contain a lot of noise but this is the only copy I could find so far).
People with tuned ears are indeed more sensitive to this kind of thing.
yikes. that kind of song is popular?? what the heck is wrong with the people. sorry >_<”
neeway… dun think it’s plagiarizing leh. it’s just similar kiddish tone used.
the interlude’s melody is kinda like some other song though. Do you know “Kulihat langit, penuh bintang bertaburan. Berkelap-kelip seumpama intan berlian. Tampak sebuah lebih terang cahayanya. Itulah bintangku, bintang kejora yang indah selalu”?
and is it just me or your tukang bakso song is just the karaoke version?
It doesn’t sound remotely similar to me??
