Hastily pulled by embarrassed authorities after an explosion of internet parodies, this 3-minute video for the Singapore tourism board follows a couple on their anniversary break in the city. With a script as varied and exciting as Singapore itself, featuring lines like “Honey, look!” and “Honey, look at that!” and “Wow, amazing!”, this is truly a classic of the genre. Be sure to watch until the end for the plot twist.
Best line: “Look, honey!”
This video is so cringe-worthy that Singapore Tourism Board has removed it from its own channel.
Watch to know why it was deleted by its creator.
This video was apparently uploaded on Singapore Tourism Board’s site, but promptly taken down after it became ‘viral’ for being such an ‘awesome’ well produced video. Mistake, or intent, we will never know.
The actors are NOT Singaporean. They are Filipinos.
But for the rest of Singapore, revel in the ingenuity of STB’s video to attract tourism.
Please help Habib Alwi Al Habshi on his mission to stop restaurants in Arab street who are still selling alcohol located near the Sultan mosque… Please share this video.
May Allah shower His blessings and love upon Habib Alwi Al Habshi.
Last night I had a small chat with Habib Alwi Al Habshi about the recent video that I posted on FB. He thank me and told me that someone approached him and hand him a print out in related to the permissible of selling alcohol in kampong glam and near the sultan mosque. He told me that a person saw the video of his plea and decided to hand in those print out so that Habib can use those guidelines to file a complaint. May Allah reward whoever that person is.
So I decide to surf the web to get a clearer picture from that print out…
Check on the “Reviewing conservation guidelines with stakeholders”, paragraph number 19.
Habib also told me that he is moving forward with it and to make a doa for him. As soon as he says that I started to hold my tears and remain silent, because there he is stand an old man who fear of Allah, who is so passionate and fearless.
Habib Alwi’s will is an inspiration to me and I hope it is also an inspiration to all of us who have believed…
JOHOR BARU: A Singaporean man who was so upset after eating a plate of Nasi Goreng Kampung has lodged a police report over how it was apparently too spicy.
Lau Thiam Huat, 61, ordered the plate of fried rice and a glass of warm water at a restaurant along Jalan Bukit Timbalan here for dinner at around 9pm on April 30.
He stated that the fried rice was too hot and spicy, which made his mouth feel uncomfortable until the next day.
He also suspected that the cook put too much chilli into the dish, making it extra spicy and decided to make a police report in case there was a need for a medical check-up after eating the fried rice.

Patrick Tay dari NTUC telah memberikan satu hujah di Parlimen, menggesa masyarakat dan pemerintah untuk mengiktiraf dan memberikan ganjaran yang lebih kepada golongan suri rumah, atau “Stay-At-Home-Mothers. “
Beliau mula dengan memberikan sedikit later belakang mengenai golongan tersebut:
“Satu golongan yang sering kurang diberi perhatian dan bantuan adalah golongan ibu yang tinggal di rumah sepenuh masa. Pada 2013, terdapat sekurang-kurangnya 312,000 wanita yang tidak bekerja kerana menjaga anak dan juga menguruskan rumahtangga mereka. Namun, perhatian tentang peranan penting yang dimainkan golongan ini dalam menyokong sesebuah unit keluarga, yang juga kadang kala meliputi rangkaian keluarga yang lebih besar, masih agak berkurangan dari perintah dan juga masyarakat.
Selanjutnya, berikut adalah 10 isi kandungan dari ucapan beliau:
10. Golongan SAHM tidak seharusnya dilihat sebagai golongan yang tidak produktif dan kurang menyumbang kepada masyarakat.
9. Masyarakat dan pemerintah harus mengiktiraf, memberi ganjaran dan memberi jaminan kepada golongan SAHM.
8. Dasar-dasar perlu disasarkan dikukuhkan agar bantuan dapat diberikan pada tahap-tahap penting sepanjang pembangunan anak-anak mereka.
7. Kita perlu mencari jalan untuk membiayai usaha-usaha pro-keluarga , yang dapat meningkatkan lagi kefahaman serta pengiktirafan nilai ekonomi dan sosial yang ditunjukkan golongan ini.
6. Kini, masih belum ada subsidi pengangkutan bagi golongan SAHM. Mereka terpaksa membawa anak-anak mereka ketika melakukan pelbagai kerja-kerja rumah untuk keluarga. Subsidi harus disertakan dalam Pakej Perkahwinan dan Keibubapaan.
5. Dasar-dasar kita harus memastikan yang setiap bantuan danfaedah yang telah dimanfaatkan golongan ibu yang bekerja, juga diberikan kepada ibu yang tinggal di rumah.
4. Pelepasan cukai dan rebat bagi golongan SAHM boleh diperbaiki. Pelepasan bagi Ibu Bekerja dan Anak (WMCR) boleh dilanjutkan kepada golongan SAHM, dan pelepasan ini boleh dikongsi dengan pasangan mereka untuk meringankan beban bagi keluarga berpendapatan tunggal.
3. Keperluan perubatan pada masa depan harus dipertimbangkan. Ibu-ibu sepenuh masa tidak mempunyai sumbangan CPF dan Medisave yang tetap.Golongan SAHM perlu diberikan tokokansumbangan pada akaun Medisave dan Akaun Khas mereka.
2. Bagi wanita yang bergantung kepada sumbangan suami untuk sumbanganakaun CPF mereka, pemerintah harus memberikan sumbangan sepadan bagi setiap jumlah yang disalurkan kepada CPF mereka.
1. Syarikat-syarikat digalakkan untuk menimbangkan dan menawarkan pekerjaan separuh masa dan juga secara bebas bagi golongan SAHM,serta menyokong program-program kembali bekerja bagi golongan ini. Mereka perlu diberikan pelbagai pilihan yang ada untuk membantu menambah pendapatan keluarga mereka.
Patrick mengakhiri ucapannya dengan kata-kata ini:
“Golongan suri rumah mempunyai kerjaya utama yang unggul. Semua kerjaya lain wujud untuk satu tujuan sahaja – iaitu untuk menyokong kerjaya yang unggul “. Saya ingin memaklumi, mengiktiraf dan menyanjung semua ibu-ibu, terutamanya golongan ibu-ibu yang tinggal di rumah! Terima kasih kerana telah membesarkan satu generasi rakyat Singapura! “
