Former PPP candidate Samuel Lee sings viral GE song in interior design ad
Former People’s Power Party (PPP) candidate Samuel Lee has made a surprise return to the spotlight — not in politics, but in an interior design advertisement that’s got netizens doing a double-take.
On 17 May, Instagram accounts @sgvirality and @goodmaninterior.sg shared a quirky video featuring Mr Lee crooning a remix of his now-iconic “look left, look right” song, a tune that first went viral during the 2025 General Election, when Mr Lee and his PPP team contested Ang Mo Kio GRC.
Despite the song’s catchy charm, the PPP failed to win votes, garnering less than 12.5% and ultimately losing their election deposit.
Samuel Lee sings in interior design ad
In the new ad, Mr Lee is seen strolling into Goodman Interior, an interior design firm at 37 Jalan Pemimpin.
As he looks around for the store, he sings lines like “looking left and right for a trustworthy ID” in both English and Mandarin, after which he receives friendly service from a showroom staff member.

The video wraps with Mr Lee happily exiting the store, waving goodbye as a satisfied customer — and leaving viewers amused and bewildered by the throwback.

Gan Kim Yong also parodied viral song
On 27 Apr, Gan Kim Yong from the People’s Action Party (PAP) also amused netizens during the general election by joining in the trend and parodying the catchy “look left, look right” song.
Meanwhile, the original jingle took on a life of its own online. A fan-made AI-generated electronic remix of Mr Lee’s performance has amassed over 11,000 likes and close to 400,000 views on TikTok.
