She also thanked the Ministry of Communications for trusting her to perform the song titled ‘Malaysia MADANI: Rakyat Disantuni’. The song was composed by Datuk Mokhzani Ismail, with music arranged by young composer Affan Mazlan.

During the National Day 2025 parade, Siti Nurhaliza performed the National Day and Malaysia Day (HKHM) 2025 theme song following the recitation of the Rukun Negara pledge. Her performance was accompanied by a vibrant display by the National Department for Culture and Arts troupe, school students, and a ‘human terrace’ formation.
