3:07 WP had hougang (and SDA had potong pasir) in 2006

Worse most of the star search contestant acts like robot memorising script without any emotions at all except for a few gd ones like gini chang

Clif,against the tide,dui dui peng and you can be an angel was my favourite shows bro

Hey I think you produced better content second youtuber sneaky sushi was my first tho

Utter Rubbish… Don’t Be Fooled, WP is no longer an Oppo But a Friendly Sparring PAP Partner… Only REAL Oppo in SG is SDP 😊😂❤

Dude in the video is real af

Always the cry father cry mother scene you love me and I don't love you,fighting scene😂

Mediacorpse sucks😂

China censorship is even more tight. Why is their drama so good? I think its jus really cost cutting and budget. China production has dedicated crews for every part of the process. Costume focus on costume, sound focus on sound, hair focus on hair, even kopi also got 1 dedicated crew focusing solely on buying kopi. Mediacorp hire 1 bao ka liao person to multitask costumes and make up and hair and kopi.

Because too bloody also cannot . Too scary also cannot . Fight too violent also cannot . Too vulgar language also cannot . Only can kept doing those family drama . I feel that nowadays Singapore drama more on to educate the audience than entertainment.

Damn are they annoying as fuck

Yes，you can maintain your standard of keeping one party control in one or two general elections. But you have to consistently maintained your high standards in comparison to that of PAP- THE RULING PARTY. Voters are bright and sharp they can hand you a victory because unexpectedly methods. They can also hand you a defeated card. Don't be too happy.

I think most of the stated factors are of little impact, except for the final mention of money. Money trumps all else here. Our domestic market is tiny

Missed those 1980s and early 90s SBC and TCS productions!!

I finally got the answer. I feel that if the IMDA just loosens up its regulations a bit and treats local dramas like movies (i.e. give a drama a M!18 or NC16 rating based on its content), things can be easily changed.

Artist will always find it hard to thrive in Singapore, not simply because there's no art culture, but because there's not big enough of an art market in Singapore. It's just not big enough for anyone to survive as an artiste. On a larger scale, Mediacorp would just not have the means to fund productions.

Speaking proper English or Mandarin really has nothing to do with how good the shows are. If proper English means that shows are bad, then we should find every other show elsewhere bad. It's really the script writing that is crap. It seems like we go from Queen's English to Ah beng English in local shows. Think many Singaporeans speak somewhere in between. Having said that, Singapore as a whole is rather diverse, so it is hard to portray what would be deemed realistic across the board. Perhaps the disconnect is when a hawker start speaking perfect English or when everyone speak Singlish ... then it is cringe. But I still think scriptwriting is crap.

I kinda disagree with the point #1 that IMDA's censorship/requirement is what makes Mediacorp's shows incomparable to shows like GOT. If censorship was an issue, GOT would have been banned from Singapore to begin with. What Mediacorp lacks is good and tight script writing + good actors + good production crew (film directing, art design for sets, special effects etc). If you give Mediacorp GOT script verbatim and let them produce it, it will be a crappy knock-off version. There are a lot of sitcoms that is about family, social values etc. Older sitcoms like "Home Improvement" ran for 8 seasons, dreamy fluffy sitcoms like "Friends" about well, a bunch of friends, ran for 10 seasons. Seinfeld and Frasier ran for 9 and 11 seasons respectively. These two had really good and tight dialogues that tickle your intellect while poking fun at common everyday scene and current affairs in US. Watch any of the above drama/sitcoms and you will find character fleshing, story development in 1 min easily. A conversation in a cab, a quarrel at the lift lobby, and you immediately see the dynamics between characters play out. Watch Mediacorp drama. They can spend 1-2 mins to get the characters board a vehicle, travel, get off the vehicle, take the lift arrive at the HDB flat ... and absolutely no development in either character or plot. NOTHING. Pretty sure it has little to nothing to do with censorship.

i do like Mediacorp shows like "Anak Metropolitan", "Unriddle", "Incredible Tales" but recently the drama has become so boring...like "Kin"/"Tanglin".. ...so I'd rather watch Korean Dramas

I think because actors and actresses needs more emotion rather than just delivering the line they need to work more into that matter. So far Rebecca Lim got it perfectly. Lastly add more thrill or plot twist in the story so the audience will be curious of what will happen next or what would be the ending. That they would get excited and look forward on what will happen next. Not that typical thing that they will watch the show then turn off the tv coz they knew the ending

Kin is my favourite show. It's the first Singaporean show I've watched so I always wondered whether the awkward English was written that way or whether the actors were able to put their own flair on the script.

So thankful I can rely on Mediacorp to produce shows without promoting lgbt. I have stopped watching American shows because of this so Singaporean shows are a refreshing change!!!

Look, I don't mind Community Based Sentences. However, there similar cases involving Polytechnic students and they get the book thrown at them. If everyone gets Community Based Sentences then yeah whatever, if everyone gets the book thrown at them I'll accept it. Right now, a Polytechnic student gets the book thrown at them with their lives destroyed while a University student gets a slap on the wrist and gets to go on like nothing happened. How long will it take for this inequality to cause instability in Singapore? How long will it take before people realise that there's no point talking about being tough on male sexual offenders if good education background gets you scot free?

MediaCorp dramas are indeed dying due to their reuse and recycle formula consisting of family and police concepts. I get it, gov be trying to spread propaganda towards their favour and instilling family values but majority of these shows are highly highly and heavily supported by the old actors who play the grandmother/grandfather role. I suspect the day when those old actors die is the day these “dramas” will totally tank for real. And that’s not even including competition from RUclips/Netflix and other shows from overseas. I see doom overshadowing MediaCorp if nothing else

ok but clif

We won't be Seeing something like Game of Thrones or Historical Fantasy in general when CLEARLY Singapore actually has alot Opportunity to do that because British Colonial era, the Sultanates and our very Own Kingdom in the 1300s. But NoOoOOo our Government have to make crappy Family Dramas and Dramatic Version of Government Bodies

Damn, those broadcasting rules are vanilla af… As an illustrator it’s extremely extremely aggravating looking for a job in Singapore relating to art, from what I’ve came across they don’t value art as much which is why I’m migrating to Japan instead to put my skills to better use especially in the game business.

Singaporean English sounds terrible

Singaporean English sounds terrible

I still watch MediaCorp shows

Who’s here from Sneaky Sushii? 🙋🏻

The clowns that came out with the Act probably don't watch MediaCorp either. I bet they are watching cable and streaming subscriptions

A really helpful summary! It's a lovely refresher and it helped organise my thoughts for my pol sci dissertation. Thanks man!

The pap needs to be removed.

Just subbed

JBJ IS FOREVER THE BEST OPPOSITION MEMBER UNLIKE THE PRESENT WP THAT SLEEPS THROUGHOUT THE PARLUAMENT WITH THE ALJUNIED TOWN COUNCIL FUND MISMABAGEMENT.ONLY LEGAL PROCEEDINGS CAN BRIEFLY WAKE WP FROM THEIR PROLONGED SLUMBER AFTER WHICH THE HIBERNATION.RESUMES.IF DR CHEE AND HIS ENTIRE SDP COULD GET INTO PARLIAMENT, THINGS WILL BE MUCH BETTER.

you can probably say the same for TVB. TVB dramas are used to be good until the handover. My dad only like old TVB dramas because of that.

Most of mediacorp drama/shows are like propaganda/agenda that government want and out of touch with normal singaporean(especially youngsters) ... Happy, multi race, harmony, family,etc...no "dark side" of life/comedy/action..however i do like crime watch.

I know Channel 8 actors require actor to speak SG Chinese. Which is flat pronunciation of word. If you "bite" each words with clarity and more emotions, like Beijing Chinese, they would not give you the role. Just makes dialogue unnatural and unbearable for overseas Chinese to listen to. Not sure about local...

PAP ruled almost whole after independence and Singapore is in top 10 countries list. INC (India national Congress) ruled almost whole after independence now india is puppet of usa,top in poverty ,inequality,nepotism and many more. This shows how party with good ideology can change country and bad can destroy contry.

Guess I'm the first comment

This is the best video about WP. No mainstream media would ever talk about this. Keep up the good work! Short and Sweet.

Its all around the world lah, socialism and compassion for the rich elites while conservatism and draconian laws for the poor.

Singaporean TV laws make local Singaporean shows terrible.

ok lah... MediaCorp tried really hard to produce difference themes in their drama series such as 陰錯陽差，祖先保佑，花花公子。。。 at least some supernatural factors within them

Little Nyonya really is very good... I didn't watch it but I can remember it. It's really good.. Nowadays it's just... I'mma find kdrama Kdrama and Gordan Ramsay are so much better man... Singapore shows are boring :/ it's so sad that even anime is impossible in Singapore man

I love how the PAP sues their way into silencing opposition :eyeroll:

The hard truth is that the market in sg is too small and unique to satisfy the kinda success or monetary rewards that sg artists expect. Even with govt/taxpayer intervention, mediacorp can hardly sustain the viewership. It would only get worse if the govt decides to hands off. Rather than blaming the govt for lack of support, one should just acknowledge that the arts business has an inherently low success rate and should tailor their expectation accordingly. Lets be fair to the other sgporeans who feel that taxpayer money could be better spent on other more critical industries.

Just an observation: young Singaporeans are becoming very picky and very hard to please. They tend to have the mentality of "the pasture's greener on the other side." They also have this unrealistic ambition of becoming rich and famous without having to go through trials and tribulations. That's part of being the Snowflake generation, and they badly need to wake up to reality and toughen up! K-dramas also tend to focus a lot on family values and Korea's various socio-economic classes. It's obvious that young Singaporeans prefer them to MediaCorp dramas because K-dramas are from a different culture, and watching something different is refreshing. I personally enjoy watching MediaCorp dramas in general. I don't see the need for sex and violence, and certainly wouldn't like my own kids to grow up thinking that such destructive values are normal. Different countries have different fortes. If one finds that Singapore isn't the place for his/ her area of interest, it's fine to look for work elsewhere, but he/ she should refrain from condemning the country for the lack of something. As an example, Australia isn't the place to live in for people eyeing to make big bucks or wanting a high-tech lifestyle.
