Nanyang Technological University (NTU) students were filmed performing an obscene cheer during a freshman orientation camp.
Responses
As with all phenomenon that sparks outrage, there will be those who expend creative efforts to make memes about it, which inevitably makes the internet a spicier and much better place.
Here is a low effort meme:
And here is a high effort meme, which is a hard bass remix of the NTU cheer by Inquisitive:Enjoy.
Background
News of this latest NTU clip broke on Aug. 15, 2019.
The video was allegedly uploaded onto Instagram on Aug. 9, taken down and then re-uploaded multiple times because of its viral gold potential.

The main gripe?
One student can be seen leading a group of other students, of both genders, to perform lewd gestures.
The movements included pointing at their crotches, as well as thrusting and gyrating their hips at different parts of the cheer, which repeatedly used the word “kukubird”, in reference to the male reproductive organ.
This behaviour, which is freakishly ritualistic and highly inexplicable to the outside world, has been met with tsk-tsking from the public at large, which has always been aghast that adults at higher institutions of learning could behave this way away from the public eye.
NTU has since said it will investigate the matter.
This latest hullabaloo has cast the spotlight on universities in Singapore once again, as raunchy orientation games have been scrutinised and panned the last few years.
In case you cannot see the KKB remix above, here is the video:
