2006-2011 Toh resigns
In 2006 Toh the lead singer at the time came out to announce his resignation from Silly Fools with the reason being that his work environment didn't support his belief in Islam and internal disagreement with other band members ultimately led to this decision. This was shocking news to the Thai music industry. Toh then formed a new band called Hangman, the other band members announced that they will continue to perform as Silly Fools and were hiring a new vocalist. 2006 Silly Fools announced that they had a new lead singer which performed in the fate festival concert whilst wearing a mask keeping his identity a secret.
