The famous Singapore NDP song, Count On Me Singapore, has been plagiarised by the people in India and turned into Count On Me India

The original song, composed by Hugh Harrison and sang by Clement Chow, was written in 1986.

The song has since been copied word for word, with the only changes being “Singapore” changed to “India”, with the song title also being changed to “We Can Achieve”.

Indian composer Joey Mendoza Continues Claims That He Wrote ‘Count on Me, India’; MCCY Has Contacted him

Hugh Harrison is the composer of Count on Me, Singapore.

While he does not mind school children taking the song and amending the lyrics to sing it, he draws a line at what Mr Mendoza has done.

“The real problem is that Joey has been commercialising this song, even going so far as selling the rights.
“And worst of all, he makes his audacious acts even more outlandish by claiming that this second of Singapore’s National Day songs was essentially stolen from him and does so in a public forum.”

He had written the song while he was working for the McCann-Erickson advertising agency.

The song was created after months of hard work, with inputs from his colleague, a Singapore government official and arranged by Singapore jazz veteran Jeremy Monteiro.
While he had not received any notification from the Singapore government, he had allegedly written to Mr Mendoza to retract his claims.

Singapore National Anthem is in Malay/Indonesian language. Malay Singaporean language is closer to Indonesian than Malaysian

He's shameless because he sold the rights of the song and claimed that it's just a coincidence when 99.9% of the lyrics and melody are similar lmao.

When asked to substantiate his claim with evidence:

In a statement to the media on Tuesday, Mendoza claimed that 250 orphans had performed the song in 1983 after he had written it while teaching music at the Bal Bhavan orphanage in Mumbai, where he is based.

He also claimed that the original tapes of his composition were swept away in the 2005 Mumbai floods.

"The only living proof I can offer you are the 250 orphans who first learnt it in 1983 and all the orphans at Bal Bhavan in the successive years too," said the 58-year-old, who claimed he was a graduate of the Musicians Institute in Hollywood, California.

In the chorus, 'India' doesn't even rhymes with 'more', while 'Singapore' rhymes perfectly.
