514 Chai Chee Lane 03-16, Singapore 469029 In what seems to be a viral video opportunity disguised as an impromptu guitar-playing session, Deputy Prime Minister Teo Chee Hean plucked up his courage and started plucking the guitar at the home of one of his Pasir Ris-Punggol GRC residents.
To give the performance a totally I'm-not-ready-for-this feel, Teo declared at the start of the video: "I haven't played for a long time already."
Make no mistake, everything happens for a reason – especially with a camera pointing at you.
Under strict instructions from his Pasir Ris resident to play the G chord, followed by the B chord, Teo started strumming while the resident started to sing The Beatles' Hey Jude.

As a result, a classic was left in tatters.
With that, DPM Teo joins a list of politicians who aim to serenade their electorate with the dexterity of their fingers can play the guitar.

And is equally good with the gong.

Unfortunately, he ultimately failed to strum his way into Aljunied voters' hearts in 2011. Can he do it at the next General Election?

Guitar Hero 3: Dr Tan Cheng Bock
One of four Tans in the 2011 Presidential Election, Dr Tan Cheng Bock is a skilled ukuleleist.
