With the movement control order (MCO) extended yet again, Malaysian singer Jeryl Lee recorded in her home in Penang a tribute song to all frontline heroes battling the Covid-19 pandemic.
The song titled Respect 1,000,000 was released on April 24th on On Muse Official Youtube channel.
The idea for Respect 1,000,000 was initiated by entrepreneur Aesos Lai who was involved in the music and entertainment industry during the 90's. He roped in the help of Malaysian music producer Ong Peng Chu and veteran Indonesian musician Chossy Pratama to help compose and produce the song.
Ong Peng Chu has already recorded a song titled "You Are Never Alone" recently to thank those who were involved in fighting the pandemic.
In his message on Youtube, Ong described the song as a sincere tribute to heroes who are fighting to keep us safe’, and said it was ‘inspired by the commitment and bravery of all frontline heroes, especially doctors, nurses, healthcare workers and volunteers, who fought and are still fighting to tirelessly to help save us during this Covid-19 pandemic period.”
He concluded by saying ‘Thank you, two tiny words to all the frontline heroes’ and offered to heartily salute them 1,000,000 times.
Lee was also one of a dozen Malaysian singers who came together in February to sing You Are Not Alone (Mandarin title Ni Cong Bu Shi Yi Ge Ren) to show support to Chinese citizens who were battling the initial Covid-19 outbreak in Wuhan.
Here are the lyrics to the song:
