Cook a pot of curry day may have ended yesterday, but the viral meme is still going strong.
It has definitely weighed more heavily on Singaporean minds than our upcoming presidential elections this coming Saturday 27th August, if social media — Facebook Likes and YouTube views — is any indication.
Originally organized as a fun way to spread the “message of tolerance” in Singapore’s multi-racial culture, the cooking protest on Facebook has gone viral globally, with global newswires like Reuters and Bloomberg covering the story.
It all started when a new migrant Chinese family complained about the smell of curry and pressured their Indian neighbours to stop cooking it. When this story came out in our mainstream press two weeks ago, Singaporeans came up with creative ways to sing about, yes, curry.
Here are some of the best parodies and original songs on YouTube on this issue that will make you smile. May you always enjoy and share your curry with others!
