Have You Been Inspired by "Just in Singapore"?

"Just in Singapore" is more than just a comedy show. It clearly airs the voices of some less fortunate Singaporeans staying in rented HDB flats. The desires and craving for money create the humours. The storywriter (Hong Rong Di) has created more than just a masterpiece of an entertaining show, which speaks educational values.

The love of the Lin family - Chen Liping (Nancy), Huang Wenyong (Lin Bang), Paige Chua (Carol) and Fiona Xie (Xiuming). Chen Liping's love for her eldest daughter, Paige Chua, overrides her concern for Fiona Xie. Paige Chua may seem to be heartless in her role but she proves her innocence well at the end of the show. Fiona Xie displays her filial well throughout, which tells us that a person's character is not connected to her educational level.

Liang Tian as Kopi Shu, He Bing as Kopi Sao, Ong Ai Ling as Shu Min and Rayson Tan as Jian Hui portrait another family with problem aroused by greed of the children, but eventually they reunite in harmony. Ai Ling's role shows us an extreme case of a rich mum who pampers her son with luxuries. Both the siblings have been taken far from this realistic society.

As far as it is a comedy, of course there involves over-reaction of the actors to stimulate laughers. Patricia Mok (Mary) and Nelson Chia (Robert) create great atmosphere.

Flaws
1. Fiona Xie is definitely too hot and girlish for a tomboy role although she has done well.
2. The "corridor" in the main scene has face-to-face doors, whereas at other neighbours’ doors, we can obviously see that the layout of the flat is not doors-facing-doors.
3. The "main" corridor during evening time witnesses shadow of the ceiling hitting on the "sky".
4. Kang Cheng Xi's role as Su Ding Yi is quite an argumentative role as it takes some working experience to become a university lecturer, whereas Su Ding Yi is a young lad.

What can we learnt from the show? The value of family is important. Honest keeps a person's mind peaceful…

Hope you have been inspired by the show.
