This being the week of National Day and all, it’s great to see political figures of different stripes get together as one to sing.
Oh, you were thinking of something along the lines of Count On Me Singapore? No, friends, they’re crooning a Japanese pop ballad familiar to players of the Yakuza video game series: Baka Mitai.
Photographer and video producer Adrian Chan is to be blamed/thanked for this rapidly-viral clip posted earlier today (Aug 7), for which he apparently had to re-activate his Facebook account.
Hopping on the internet meme of the month — in which still portraits are deepfaked to appear as if they’re singing Baka Mitai — Chan put a local spin on it with a collage of Singapore’s politicians across the political aisle. Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, Pritam Singh, Jamus Lim, Charles Yeo, Chee Soon Juan, Tan Cheng Bock, and many more warble the melancholic tune in unison.
