Mdm Irene Loi Cheng Li leading the audience in singing My City, My Sayang,
with Master Teacher (Music) Mrs Li Yen See
Mdm Irene Loi Cheng Li, Head of Department, Aesthetics
and Design, St. Andrew’s Secondary School, with Music
Master Teacher Mrs Li Yen See, sang the album’s opening
song My City, My Sayang to kick start the launch.
Composed by music director Mr Joel Nah with lyrics
by Singapore poet Ms Heng Siok Tian, My City, My
Sayang, expresses the deep intimacy we feel with our
city, and our constant desire to discover more of it. In
the chorus, the audience was invited to join in the call-
and-response singing - one of the many pedagogical
features incorporated into the design of the 12 songs.
