Stay at home, Singapore: Sing along, give with your heart, to those hit hard by Covid-19 StayhomeforSG SGunited
Eleven local artists have come together, and partnered The Straits Times to give their take on local music veteran Clement Chow's well-loved National Day song Count on Me, Singapore.
The collaboration will also raise funds for the ST School Pocket Money Fund and The Business Times Budding Artists Fund , and help those whose families have been affected by the outbreak. Many children benefiting from the funds are struggling. Some have seen their parents laid off and their families are finding it hard to pay bills or buy essentials.
Also, due to stay-at-home measures, it was for the first time that Mr Chow had make a video by piecing clips together instead of having everyone at the studio. He did so by working through several nights with video editor Ang Wee Pin. "Hopefully because it's such a familiar song, Singaporeans will be aware of it and realise the lyrics are different and take note of the message," she added.
"It is during this time that we need even more support to help us continue to provide school pocket money to our students from low-income families so that they can buy their meals and not go hungry when they are at home or in school," she said.
