SINGAPORE: A new recording of the national anthem was played for the first time in public on the steps of the National Gallery, 60 years from the date of its unveiling.
The Singapore Symphony Orchestra re-recorded the Singapore anthem to commemorate the National Symbol's 60th anniversary. Recorded by the Singapore Symphony Orchestra on Aug 7 at the Esplanade Concert Hall, it retains the arrangement by composer Phoon Yew Tien from 2001 but has included more young voices.CPT Hong Seng Mak, 85, who is part of the SAF Veterans’ League, said that he felt "very proud” to hear the national anthem, especially after having to sing the British anthem before.
Both Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat posted on Facebook about the re-recording.
Sama sama as the old one.......waste of time n money.....better spend helping the poor n needy ya. Preferred the rendition on NDP19 by RAMLI SARIP......more up to date n soulful.
