As a laugh, Twitter user @DaniAmalo put up a video involving his friend who has an uncanny resemblance to a specific character on Singapore currency notes. No, not Yusof Ishak, but one of the students on the back of the $2 note.
Enhance.
ENHANCE.
Yeah, this dude. Watch Ameerul Shafiq joking about the likeliness of his friend to the figure on the note — that similarity in facial structure is uncanny.
Finally I found one of the people in the Singapore $2 note! It’s real guise! pic.twitter.com/u3d7bWnCEv

Some trivia. The back of the $2 banknote revolves around the theme of education and features Victoria School, the Old Raffles Institution Building at Bras Basah Road and College of Medicine Building. Yusuf Ishak, the first president of Singapore, studied at Victoria School (formerly Victoria Bridge School) before going on to Raffles Institution for secondary education.
