SINGAPORE - An audience member who had tears streaming down his face while singing the National Anthem at the close of the National Day Parade has become an Internet sensation.
"I felt that the entire NDP was very well put together. It told a narrative that was extremely touching and it really hit home," said Mr Tan, a teacher at Bedok View Secondary School. On the attention he received online, Mr Tan said: "I really didn't think I should be getting the attention for it. I'm shocked and surprised. In comparison, the people working hard to put the parade together deserve the attention more than I do."
