Camera, sunlight, action! We need YOU, yes you fellow Singaporean, to take part in our SG50 Community music video. In light of 50 years’ of Singapore independence, this video aims to celebrate the relationships and sense of belonging between citizens and families abroad with their loved ones back at home. The music is based on a song titled ‘Singapore, It’s Where We Belong’, written and performed by Sharliza Jelita at Singapore Day 2014 in London. This project is kindly supported by SG50 committee, OSU and SUKA. We encourage all Singaporean professionals, students, retired senior citizens, families and children based in Europe to take part!
