Count on Singaporeans to scorn NDP songs. SundayLife! finds out why they draw strong reactions.

Home voted the most popular NDP song

Home has struck a chord with Singaporeans, going by a recent online poll where Straits Times readers were asked to pick their favourite National Day Parade (NDP) song.

The poll ran online from Tuesday and ended on Friday. Voters were allowed to choose only one out of 18 songs.

These include 1980s favourites such as Stand Up for Singapore and We are Singaporea. Reach Out For The Skies (2005), performed by Singapore Idol Taufik Batisah and singer-actress Rui En and composed and written by Elaine Chan and Selena Tan, the duo behind this year’s theme song, came in second with 223 votes, or 10 per cent of the total votes.
