While some Singaporeans slam the use of colloquialism as 'irritating' , Irene Ang calls it a 'special local spin'.

It may be attracting international media attention and embraced by foreign audiences - even garnering airtime on a CNN live show on May 27 - but at home, some Singaporeans are not won over by the recent Phua Chu Kang (PCK) vaccination music video or fully on board with its use of Singlish to convey its message.

Launched on May 2 and titled Get Your Shot, Steady Pom Pi Pi, the music video is part of an integrated campaign by the Ministry of Communications and Information (MCI) to encourage Singaporeans to get vaccinated against Covid-19.

Although the video has since garnered more than five million views, some netizens have voiced their disapproval on social media.

Other terms used by viewers to describe the video were "sickening" and "irritating", while one commented that the use of PCK characters was like "milking an aged cow".

Local actor Gurmit Singh, who stars in the video as the TV character PCK, told The New Paper: "Some people may be insecure or worried about the stigma associated with Singlish, but I think we should embrace it, especially when so many foreigners love it. In fact, Singlish brings us together and is a strong part of our culture."

The 56-year-old prefers to focus on the positives instead, such as the videos he has received from parents who record their children singing and dancing along to the catchy rap.

On the international media attention, he said: "I honestly didn't expect it to blow up. I was pleasantly surprised when my fans sent me those news reports.

"It is encouraging to see (foreigners) enjoy our video. Maybe it is because the song is catchy and refreshing, while most PSAs (public service announcements) are usually dull and mundane."

SPICE
Local actress Irene Ang, 51, who reprises her role as PCK's wife Rosie in the video, is not disheartened by the criticism either.

She said: "We are just trying to use familiar characters to spread a message. Singlish is like a spice, a special local spin or twist. I think it helps foreigners to understand Singapore culture.

"Maybe they often see Singapore as a serious country, so having this message conveyed in such a light-hearted way comes as a surprise to them."

Ms Soffy Hariyanti, director of the campaigns and production department at MCI, said PCK was first featured in the early days of the virus outbreak in March last year, in a video titled Singapore Be Steady.

Given the protracted fight against the disease and with the roll-out of the vaccination programme, MCI felt it was "timely" to bring back PCK - and with Rosie this time - for a "sequel".

"We wanted to use everyday language which would be easily understood, especially since Covid-19 vaccination is a complex topic," she said.

"As a team, we are always on the lookout for innovative and creative approaches to engage our audiences, but this involves some amount of risk-taking."

S M Ong: No, Gurmit Singh wasn’t driving his Lambo when he was caught speeding (Warning: Nudity!)

By S M Ong, smong@sph.com.sg, Columnist, Humour, The New Paper, 14 June 2021 at 06:00 am


In the Get Your Shot, Steady Pom Pi Pi video, he did say 'faster go and vaccinate'.

Gurmit Singh said his Lamborghini is "my favourite car of all time".

Well, in the Get Your Shot, Steady Pom Pi Pi video, he did say "faster go and vaccinate".

But perhaps not 131kmh fast.

Yes, that was the speed Gurmit Singh was caught driving at on that fateful April 12 night along Woodlands Avenue 12.

Fastest in Singapore and JB, and some say Batam?

He was fined ＄800 last week and banned from driving for three months.

Singh apologised on Instagram for what he did and said: "I hope to do better."

If he was speeding, he must have been driving his Lamborghini, right?

After all, if the man who plays Phua Chu Kang is famous for anything else besides playing Phua Chu Kang, it is owning a Lambo.

It is like Ann Kok and that iconic see-through top she wore at the 1996 Star Awards. People still talk about it. The Lambo is Singh's see-through top.

It all kind of started in July 2011 when The New Paper reported: "After a local magazine published in May a picture of his Lamborghini Gallardo that he bought last December, he has been called 'arrogant', even by a friend."

Singh told TNP: "I was very saddened by that remark… I don't like to be seen as pushing it in your face like, 'Oh, look at how successful I am.'"

He later explained to another publication: "Once I got (the car), I started sharing with a few friends and by the time I shared with my sixth or seventh friend, one person said, 'So show-off.'

HEAR THAT ROAR
In 2017, a CNA reporter interviewed Singh and wrote: "This is when I decide to discuss the Lamborghini, a car he owned a few years ago when Mediacorp was still at Caldecott Hill.

"My newsroom used to be close to the open-air carpark and the roar of the engine signalling his comings and goings would penetrate the walls. Publicly, he was called a show-off."

Singh told the reporter: "I know you guys in the compound could hear the Lamborghini. I didn't do it on purpose. It's just how the engine is. I wasn't trying to show off. I wasn't pressing the accelerator."

More recently in 2019, during the Not Again Podcast with Gary Tan , Singh raved about the Italian supercar to the interviewer: "It was great having a Lamborghini for two years. I drove it every day. It's my favourite car of all time."

He reminisced about how he first fell in lust with the vehicle: "When I was a little boy, I watched Tom Selleck in Magnum PI. And he would drive a Ferrari. I said, 'What a great car!'

"So fast forward, when I was able to rent a Ferrari for the weekend, I drove it. I was so happy… I couldn't afford one yet. So I thought I'd rent it."

Then he spotted a Lambo.

"Oh, there's a Lamborghini as well. So I went to rent a Lamborghini. I tell you, when I sat in a Lamborghini, without even turning the engine on first, I already felt it was way better than Ferrari. It felt like a jet. I felt like Batman.

"And when I turned on the engine and sat that low, and I drove it with that low throttle sound - my goodness, my hair all stood up. Hair that I didn't know I had all came up and said, 'Hello! Hello!' Hallelujah."

He may have just described what is called a cargasm.

Also in 2019, he told 8 Days: "Till this day, I'm still missing my Lamborghini!"

But he can no longer afford one after an "epic reduction in salary" when he ended his full-time contract with Mediacorp in 2014 after 20 years.


More recently in 2019, during the Not Again Podcast with Gary Tan , Singh raved about the Italian supercar to the interviewer.

So if Singh was not driving his Lambo, what car was he caught speeding in?

According to The Straits Times, he was "believed to be" driving an Audi A8 L.

Sure, apart from the "flapping sound" Singh claimed the car made, the Audi luxury sedan is okay.

But it is no Batmobile like the Lambo.

PHOTO: Paul is very clear when he tells us, “Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves” (Romans 13:1-2 NIV).

As Christians we have a God-directed responsibility to obey the laws that our government has established (unless the laws contradict God’s Word).

Yes, speeding is a sin (as we’ve learned from Romans 13:1-2).
