Video of People Chanting Gang Cheer During ‘Home’ Singalong is Fake

On Saturday, Singapore turned into Little Italy and sang ‘Home’ from their windows, balconies and along their corridors.

And many Singaporeans turned up to sing along with them.

This auntie is screaming, and the virus would run away from her and from Singapore for her angry screaming. And I’m 101% sure she only remembers the chorus.

This is when you have a tone-deaf husband and a professional singer as a wife. Sounds pretty much like any duet you hear in KTV, just with much more meaning.

Yes, the Singapore version of I Can See Your Voice is here.

But while everyone was feeling warm and fuzzy inside, a clip showcasing a group of youths at Tampines started circulating on the web.

This:

They could be heard chanting the infamous gang chant during the singalong in the video clip.

An article was even posted about it which went viral online.

Turns Out, It’s Fake

The clip was said to be real but the clip of the gang chant wasn’t.

The audio in the clip seems to fit with audio taken from a clip sent to STOMP back in 2016 from the 1:12 minute mark.

It’s Illegal 

Don’t do anything gang-related in public, even if it’s just chanting a cheer.

Back in 2018, a man who attended the TWICE concert didn’t know the fans’ cheer. So he decided to have some fun and chanted a gang cheer instead.

The police were alerted to the video and investigated the video.

Under the Societies Act, gang-related activity of any kind is illegal in Singapore.

Anyone convicted of being a member of an unlawful society (gang, secret society) can be fined up to $5,000, jailed up to 3 years, or both.

The police take “a stern view of gang-related activities” and will “come down hard on those who choose to be associated with gangs”.

In other words, don’t say you’re from a gang, even jokingly. Because you might just get a visit from the police.
