Part 8/10:
Gmit Singh’s role went beyond entertainment—it extended to public service through humorous educational campaigns. For example, during health crises like SARS and COVID-19, he used his character “PUK Kong” to educate and bring levity to serious issues, even helping bridge misunderstandings between Malaysia and Singapore over water disputes.
He recalled his amusing performance during a joint water celebration, where he stood in the rain at Danga Bay, singing “Stand By Me,” symbolizing unity and resilience. His ability to entertain while delivering messages of community and cooperation showcases his unique capacity for positive influence.
