Awesome Flash Mob at Raffles Place, Singapore, 23 October ‘09 (via @singapore_news)

Hey, apparently Singapore knows flash mobs too! The story behind organizing it is not clear, however. Some people commenting on the YouTube page suggest that this is a marketing campaign. It’s not surprising given GV Cinemas did something similar before. I want to think that this is just simply a group of Singaporeans deciding to break from their 9-to-9 jobs and do something fun on a Friday afternoon.

By the way, if you’re wondering why I wrote that last sentence, check this out: TheOnlineCitizen.com also picked up on this video. A commenter on that site, called “curious citizen” wrote the following on the comment section: “i am curious if the people involved have applied for the proper permits. i count more than 5 people involved.”

I know I’m being unfair, but that’s your stereotypical Singaporean.
