Pauline India the company who plagiarized the song “count of me Singapore” has taken to Facebook to apologize after “realizing” that they plagiarized 99% of the song.
Here is the full post.
It has come to our notice that the Song “We Can Achieve” in CD (1999) “We can Achieve – Inspirational Songs for Children and All” by Pauline Communications has some copyright issues with regard to the lyrics and music of the same. It seems that it has been copied 99 % from the Song “Count on Me Singapore”. Song and Lyrics by Hugh Harrison and sung by the Singaporean Clement Chow in a TV programme.
We would like to inform you that we had produced this song with the help of Mr. Joey Mendoza who sold the copyright of the lyrics and music to us, claiming he owned it. This was in 1999, when we brought out the CD “We can Achieve. We were not even aware, that this song has been the National Day Song of Singapore since 1986. We had uploaded it on SoundCloud in 2012 in the album “We stand United” which was a collection of patriotic songs from our various CDs produced by Pauline Communications, India .
Sorry for any inconvenience caused and sentiments hurt. Sr Joeyanna FSP (Digital Department)
