Iman Fandi’s Captivating Rendition of Bunga Sayang Shines at NDP 2023

The National Day Parade (NDP) is a long-standing custom in Singapore, which unites locals and guests to highlight the country’s unity, accomplishments, and rich culture. A spectacular aerial display by the Republic of Singapore Air Force, eye-catching projections, and a beautiful fireworks display highlighted the significance of this year’s NDP. The soul-stirring performance of singer-model Iman Fandi, 23, stole the show and won many fans’ hearts through these beautiful moments.
Iman Fandi’s performance of “Bunga Sayang,” a timeless Dick Lee song, deeply moved the audience. All eyes were on the young performer for two minutes and forty seconds as she assumed centre stage with poise and assurance and displayed her exceptional vocal abilities. Iman’s performance was widely praised online, with comments gushing about her “heavenly voice,” “crystal-clear vocals,” and the sad beauty of her performance.

Iman Fandi, the daughter of famed Singaporean football legend Fandi Ahmad and former model Wendy Jacobs, was gracious enough to speak with CNA Lifestyle. Iman expressed her gratitude for the overwhelmingly positive response she received from her listeners during the conversation. She said, “Knowing that my audience is supporting me in all of my endeavours, be it in modelling, sports, and now, my music career, is heartwarming.”

Iman’s followers have enthusiastically embraced her journey through various artistic endeavours, and she is still enthusiastic about adding to Singapore’s thriving arts scene. She is excited to see the future for her blossoming career in music, modelling, and other areas.

Iman had a soft spot for the rendition of “Bunga Sayang” since she gave the well-known song her special touch. She reflected on the event and said, “I had a fantastic time putting my spin on the song ‘Bunga Sayang’ when it was first introduced to me. We’re all immensely proud of what we created, and I still find it incredible that the entire country heard the rendition I produced.

Iman admitted to having a mixed feeling of apprehension and exhilaration before entering the stage, despite her experience playing in front of large crowds. She acknowledged, “I was so anxious and excited simultaneously. However, as she immersed herself in the exciting environment and got unshakable support from her loved ones, her nerves gradually became calm.

Iman disclosed her straightforward yet successful strategy for overcoming stage fright: obtaining a good night’s sleep and seeking support from her loved ones. She sincerely appreciated her solid support network and acknowledged its impact in reducing her anxiety.

Amid the stress, Iman’s brothers, known for their humorous taunting, gave consolation. Their lighthearted banter helped to lighten the mood and made the performance less severe, which allowed Iman to shine on stage. Because they didn’t make it sound too serious, she added, “It kind of helped ease the pressure, but I know, for sure, that I made them proud.”
