  • Taufik Batisah apologises for Singapore national anthem error

    By Shaffiq Alkhatib, 938LIVE | Posted: 27 September 2009 2323 hrs

    SINGAPORE: Local celebrity, Taufik Batisah who was given the opportunity to sing the national anthem during the Formula One Grand Prix tonight, made a mistake while doing so.

    His televised performance was viewed by millions all over the world.

    But instead of singing "marilah kita bersatu", which means "let us unite", he sang “marilah kita berseru" which means "let us proclaim".

    Speaking to MediaCorp, Taufik said, he's very sorry for making the error.

    He said he was very nervous while singing.

    But the winner of the first season of Singapore Idol added that he's aware that there's no excuse for him to make such an error.

    Taufik says he hopes that the public will forgive him for what he refers to as an "honest mistake." - 938LIVE/vm

    ya was there when I heard that. a bit shocked. but then again, the way he sang, its like a pop song kinda format. don really like cos lost the stern feel a national anthem should have.

                    HONEST MISTAKE

                    Don't be too concerned with that phrase. It's just an invention by the garmen to wriggle out of a scandal.
