With the recent big news regarding the copyright of the patriotic Singapore Song, “Count On Me, Singapore”, where an Indian composer, Joey Mendoza, 58-year-old man from India who has composed the song of “We Can Achieve” was written in 1983 and he mentioned that 250 people in an orphanage in Mumbai can prove his claim where they learnt to sing the song back when he was done writing it and the song which has similar song lyrics inside which changed from Singapore to India or Mother India.<\/p>\n

Which the song was sell to Pauline India in 1999, for the first time which the song was put into recording 16 years later after he wrote it and Mendoza also mention that the original cassette tapes and documents of his composition were swept away in the Mumbai flood on 26 July 2005. So the only proof he can show is the 250 orphan in 1983.<\/p>\n

However, the “Count On Me Singapore” has been long awarded to Hugh Harrison, a Canadian which the song was written for Singapore’s National Day in 1986. On 17 March, he wrote that he has reach out to Mendoza and Pauline India regarding the Indian man’s claim to be the original creator of the song and he has the option of suing Mendoza for libel as he claims that he is the original composer in 2021 which attacks Harrison’s integrity and professionalism.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
