We talk to Yao Lishan, our writer-director for our Chinese TV series “The Amazing Showman”. We speak about his life as a filmmaker, from leaving Investment Banking in NYC to pursue film in China, to life as Executive Assistant to John Woo for 10 years. We also pick his brain on the differences in the film industries of China vs Singapore, and why banning foreign films might actually be good for us.

We talk YouTube, TikTok, acting, Jade Rasif vs MOM and laksa. 

Our Chinese TV Series, so show some love!

At a recent forum, AWARE Chief Corinna Lim said practices that skew views of what it means to be a man should be reviewed, especially in National Service which she said should be “gender neutral”. But is the enlistment of women a good idea? Elsewhere, John Cena uploaded a video apologising to Chinese fans after referring to Taiwan as a country, during his press tour for Fast & Furious. Is he a "coward", or is there more to it?

The once-famous satirical Facebook page, SMRT Feedback, posted something that questioned the loyalty of Muslims to their country, and pissed off the internet. FB User Syazana Yahya then filed a police report, which caused SMRT Feedback to delete its post and issue an apology. But what wrong did they do? And should we always be lodging police reports for speech? Elsewhere, diners at hawker centers could soon be fined $300 if they don’t clear their tray. But do we need such rules?

It’s Week 1 of “Phase 2 Heightened Alert” and it feels weird. So weird that some retailers are actually calling for a Circuit Breaker. But why? Elsewhere, an aesthetic doctor who analysed Fann Wong’s face at the Star Awards 2021 incurred the wrath of celebrity stylist David Gan and Fann Wong’s lawyers. But did the doctor do anything wrong? What about David Gan talking about the doc’s mother?
