Across Singapore on Saturday evening (April 25, 2020) at 8pm, thousands took to their windows and balconies to participate in what was essentially a nationwide one-song karaoke session.

Led by Dick Lee – accompanied by local celebs including Taufik Batisah, Shabir, Rahimah Rahim and Vernetta Lopez as well as a 900-strong virtual choir – residents waved their flashlights and sang (some literally belted and shouted) the singer-songwriter’s beloved national song Home, made popular Kit Chan.

The reason: To show support and gratitude for frontline workers who have been fighting tirelessly sing the first Covid-19 case in Singapore was confirmed on 23 Jan 2020; as well as our migrant worker friends, many of whom make up the over 12,600 Covid-19 cases to date.

The result: This video below.
