Army Daze cast members reunite at Sheikh Haikel's chicken rice shop
In an Instagram post on Sunday (Sep 20), Singaporean rapper-businessman Sheikh Haikel uploaded a picture of the cast members of the popular 1996 film Army Daze reuniting at his chicken rice shop.
Singapore rapper-businessman Sheikh Haikel recently announced his stage 4 colon cancer diagnosis on Instagram. His fellow citizens, including actors Edward Yong, Ahamed Azad, Adrian Lim, and Kevin Mark Verghese, visited Sheikh Haikel at his chicken rice shop, Hai Ge Ji, to show their support. The reunion took place on Sunday, September 20th, and the cast members posed for a photo together.
Playwright Michael Chiang, who wrote the original play and screenplay for Army Daze, expressed his delight at the cast members' visit and wished Sheikh Haikel light, love, and strength during his battle with cancer. Army Daze, a comedy about five young men in Singapore's National Service, has become a cultural touchstone with its memorable characters and quotable lines. In 2017, the cast reunited for a promotional video for the Netflix war film War Machine.
