A group of Singapore Armed Forces (BMT) recruits on their 24km-long route march brought early festive cheer to parkgoers at East Coast Park (ECP).
On Thursday (Dec 4), TikTok user iwchickenwings shared a video of her wholesome encounter with the recruits during a Christmas gathering.
In the video, the user and her group were singing along to “Jingle Bells” when the passing recruits joined them for a singalong, instead of the usual SAF route march songs.
A second platoon following them later took it a notch higher by joining in to sing “Happy Birthday”.
But the wholesome exchanges did not end there.
After the video was posted, one soldier came across the post and asked if this was where they “started a happy chain (of songs)”.
Soon after, others from the route march that night also joined the comment wall to identify themselves.
