SINGAPORE – The chorus of popular National Day song Home greeted the 10-member Team Singapore contingent as they arrived at Changi Airport Terminal 3 on Sept 10 to a warm welcome from a crowd of 100 consisting mostly of family and friends.
The group, which also included a handful of fans, members of the Purple Parade – a movement to support the inclusion of people with disabilities – and Team Nila supporters sang “This is home truly” from local singer Kit Chan’s song as the athletes walked through the arrival hall shortly after 6.45am.
