Selamat Sultan (pronounced [sə.la.mat sul.tan]) is the state anthem of Kelantan, Malaysia. Its melody was composed in 1927 by Allahyarham Mohamed bin Hamzah Saaid (1895–1971), the Goa-born Bandmaster of the Kelantan Police Band who was ordered to have an instrumental song played for the then-Sultan of Kelantan, Sultan Ismail ibni Sultan Muhammad IV. Subsequently, the words were composed by Tengku Mahmood Mahyideen (1908-1954), who was the State Superintendent of Education at that time.
