Ending the year with an old favourite, about this delightful busker I met many years ago in Singapore. ( WATCH SONG & VIDEO HERE AT https://youtu.be/sxHpJEFm2l8?si=nD7Qt-Zu1AkHSx30 )
Sadly, the last couple of years whenever we have tried looking for him at his usual place, we haven’t found him. So we have no idea how or where he went.
He had been so puzzled and then so happy, when years after making this video we had found out his name was Mr Fan Kia Seng, met him again on a later trip and shown him this video!

Hope he is well and happy, wherever he is!
