Video: Majulah Singapura conks out during award ceremony, prompts crowd to sing out loud

These girls couldn’t be prouder winning the gold medal for Singapore in the Women’s 4x200m Freestyle Relay in SEA Games 2015. 

A moment of awkward silence ensued when the PA system malfunctioned during ‘Majulah Singapura’, as May Chue, Samantha Lim, Rachel Tseng and Quah Ting Wen stood on the top podium watching their flag being raised. The stumble in the procession however turned into a goosebump-inducing moment of national pride when the crowd at the Aquatic Centre sang the anthem loud and proud until the end. 

The four girls were clearly overwhelmed by the surge of support and joined in the singing, before applause erupted in the venue. True national pride, folks — see it happen around the five-minute mark.
