At the end of the video, his wife can be heard telling him that he should just stage a concert to which he responds: "If I were to hold a concert, will you guys come?"
In recent days, hints about a potential upcoming concert have only intensified after Taufik posted teasers highlighting the date Oct 25 and captioning them with "20 years".
This year marks the 20th anniversary of Taufik Batisah's career in the entertainment industry, following the release of his first album in 2005.

In 2004, Taufik Batisah made history after being crowned the first-ever Singapore Idol. The inaugural singing competition saw the then 22-year-old triumphing over finalist Sylvester Sim, garnering over 60 per cent of the votes cast.
Following his win, Taufik went on to release a series of successful tracks, mainly for Malay-speaking audiences, including Usah Lepaskan (Don't Let Go) and Awak Kat Mane (Where Are You).
In recent years, Taufik has also pursued other ventures, including creating the popular restaurant Chix Hot Chicken and being a real estate agent.
In May this year, his performance at the latest Pesta Perdana award ceremony went viral, following a sudden technical difficulty that forced him to sing a cappella, which resulted in him wowing audiences and garnering praise for his professionalism.
