When there are troubles to go through, we’ll find a way to start anew
There is comfort in the knowledge that home’s about its people too
So we’ll build our dreams together, just like we’ve done before
Just like the river which brings us life, there’ll always be Singapore
– Home, written by Dick Lee
In a time when the world is just coming to terms with unprecedented health scares and what feels like economic doom, a violinist’s solo rendition of Kit Chan’s Home has struck a chord with netizens all over Singapore.
The unnamed musician behind the touching moment is one of hundreds of Singaporean returnees housed at various hotels across the country during their 14-day stay home notice period.
Just before 8pm on Monday (Mar 30) night, the solemn and gentle sounds of the string instrument rang out on the otherwise silent shores of Siloso Beach at Rasa Sentosa hotel. As the song came to a close, scores of hotel guests – who were already listening from their balconies – broke out in a thunderous mix of applause and cheer.
But these claps were not meant for the violinist. Instead, they were part of a nationwide social-media led movement called #SGUnited, which called for Singaporeans all over the island to stand at their windows, balconies and rooftops, to cheer for people working hard at the frontline despite the uncertainties involved.
Rasa Sentosa, which is owned by Shangri-la Hotels and Resorts, later posted a video of the poignant moment on its Facebook page. It was also shared by Education Minister Ong Ye Kung, who called it “most heartwarming”.

In other parts of Singapore, people took part in the moment of solidarity at exactly 8pm by cheering from the windows and balconies of their homes and workplaces.
Here are just some of the videos of the incredible moment shared online:
This is home truly, where I know I must be
Where my dreams wait for me, where the river always flows
This is home surely, as my senses tell me
This is where I won’t be alone
For this is where I know it’s home
For this is where I know I’m home
