"NOBLE HOUSE" (1988) Review
Tumblr media
"NOBLE HOUSE" (1988) Review
Between 1962 and 1993, author James Clavell wrote and published a series of novels centered on Europeans living in Asia. Some of the novels featured a family founded by a Scottish-born sailor named Dirk Struan, who became a trader in early 19th century China. And one of those novels was "Noble House", published in 1981.
Clavell's novel centered around one of Struan's descendants, Ian Dunross, who struggled to save the family company from a precarious financial position left by the previous CEO or "tai-pan" in the British colony, Hong Kong. Dunross sought a partnership with an American billionaire named Linc Barlett of Par-Con Industries, in the hopes of rescuing Struan's from financial ruin and a possible takeover by his family's long-time rival, Quinlan Gornt of Rothwell-Gornt. However, matters grew worse for Dunross and the company when the oldest son of Struan's comprador, Philip Chen, sold both company secrets and "coin debt" in the form of one of four half-coins that was given to Dirk Struan 146 years ago, to Barlett. This enabled Barlett to seek a partnership with Gornt in the hopes of making a raid on Struan's. When Philip's son, John Chen, ended up kidnapped by a local street gang, the value of the "coin debt", which ended up in the hands of wealthy smuggler named Four Fingers Wu. And this left Dunross and Struan's vulnerable to another threat.
I first read "Noble House" in my early twenties. Looking back on it, I now realize it was a good thing I had read previously read Clavell's 1966 novel, "Tai-Pan" and saw the 1986 movie adaptation. If not, I would have found myself confused over the family feud that served as a backdrop to the Dunross-Gornt feud and the history of the "coin debt". This involved four half-coins given to Dirk Struan by a Chinese trader named Jinqua in "Tai-Pan", as repayment for the loan of silver. Any CEO or "tai-pan" of Struan's must fulfill the request, whether legal or illegal, to anyone who presents one of the half coins that Jinqua originally kept. I ended up enjoying the 1981 novel very much. But I had some issues with it. Issues that had thankfully failed to materialized in "NOBLE HOUSE", the 1988 miniseries.
One of the issues centered around secret intelligence documents that Dunross found himself in possession of, thanks to his MI-6 contact. These documents ended up being sought by various intelligence agencies, including the MI-6, the C.I.A. and the K.G.B. However, this story arc had nothing to do with Dunross's efforts to save Struan's, so screenwriter Eric Bercovici ditched it. He also removed another story arc featuring an entourage of visiting members of Parliament - which included Dunross' Labor brother-in-law. Again, this arc had very little to do with the main one involving Dunross's business situation.
The miniseries had also removed several characters, including K.G.B. agent Captain Suslev, a visiting author and former Royal Air Force veteran named Peter Marlowe (from the 1962 novel, "King Rat"), Dunross's wife and children (he is a childless widower in the miniseries), Dunross's brother-in-law Robin Grey (also from "King Rat") and especially Dunross's wife Penelope and their three children. In the miniseries, Dunross is a childless widower, enabling him to have a romance with Par-Con executive Casey Tcholok. The biggest change proved to be the story's timeline. Bercovici updated the story's setting from August 1963 to November 1987, allowing it to be a modern tale. This enabled several characters like Linc Barlett and Casey Tcholok to mention Great Britain's future 1997 handover of Hong Kong to China.
I do have some minor complaints regarding "NOBLE HOUSE". One, I found Paul Chihara's score for the miniseries unmemorable and almost pedantic. And speaking of the score, I really disliked the cheesy aspect of the theme Chihara had created for the Orlanda Ramos character. It almost sounded like something for a soft-porn movie. Very insulting for a character like Orlanda, who proved to be more complicated. I also had a problem with some of the dialogue featured in "NOBLE HOUSE". This especially seemed to be the case in scenes featuring dialogue between European and Chinese characters or simply between Chinese characters. I found the dialogue rather awkward, exaggerated and very stylized. I realize the screenwriter was simply copying some of James Clavell's dialogue from the novel. But I really wish he had not.
Despite my complaints, I really enjoyed "NOBLE HOUSE". Every time I watch it, I am always surprised at how epic it seemed by the end of the last episode. And mind you, this story had very little to do with history. It was simply a mixture of the usual melodrama involving sex, romance, financial dealings and family conflicts. Even one of the story arcs, which featured Cold War espionage, managed to have an impact on the narrative's main arc regarding Ian Dunross's financial situation. Most people would be disappointed that this television adaptation was not completely faithful to Clavell's novel. Frankly, I am relieved. Bercovici managed to cut some of the superfluous story arcs and prevent the miniseries from becoming bloated. Yet, he still managed to retain Clavell's epic feel for the narrative. And he achieved this with the help of director Gary Nelson, who provided an overall steady pace in scenes that range from dramatic and action moments. Nelson's handling of the floating restaurant fire and the landslide that destroyed an apartment complex in the final episode really impressed me.
"NOBLE HOUSE" proved to be one of those productions that featured an international cast. Aside from a handful of performances, most struck me as being pretty solid. I must admit that I found those from the likes of Burt Kwok, Lim Kay Tong, Gordon Jackson, Denholm Elliott, Lisa Lu, Michael Siberry, Tia Carrere, John Houseman, Brian Fong, Ric Young, John van Dreelen, Nancy Kwan, Damien Thomas, Galen Yuen, George Innes and Dudley Sutton rather memorable. But there were certain performances that I truly enjoyed.
One of those performances came from the always memorable Khigh Dhiegh, who struck me as very colorful as one of Hong Kong's premiere smugglers, Four Fingers Wu. Ben Masters' take on the Lincoln "Linc" Bartlett characters seemed less boyish and more mature that Clavell's literary version. And to be honest, Masters' interpretation struck me as a lot more plausible as the witty and ruthless corporate CEO. I am more familiar with actor Ping Wu, thanks to his frequent appearances on NBC's "SEINFELD". But I really enjoyed his performance as Four Fingers Wu's youngest son, the intelligent and frustrated Paul Choy, who seemed incapable of impressing his father with his more modern outlook on how to profit outside of smuggling. Julia Nickson gave a very poignant performance as Orlanda Ramos, a local Eurasian television journalist and former mistress of Quillan Gornt. Thanks to Nickson's skillful performance, Orlanda evaded the superficial trope of a one-dimensional, walking sex toy; who became an intelligent, yet emotional woman who desired to be more than someone's bed warmer.
I might as well confess. Despite James Clavell's efforts, the character of Quillan Gornt never became a favorite of mine. His role as Dunross's main rival had nothing to do with my attitude. But I cannot deny that John Rhys-Davies gave one hell of a performance as the ruthless CEO who seemed to radiate wit, presence and a penchant for petty behavior. Casey Tcholok seemed like a difficult character to portray. Actress Deborah Raffin could have easily portray her as this ideal, "Mary Sue" type. Fortunately, James Clavell never portrayed Casey in that manner and neither did Raffin. Although the latter's take on the character seemed a bit more mature than her literary counterpart, Raffin expertly conveyed many of Casey's nuances - her razor-sharp intelligence, impatience, her talent for observation, her fears of being overlooked as a more than competent business person and her wit. However, Raffin's Casey struck me as a bit more sardonic than Clavell's literary version. Pierce Brosnan looked nothing like the literary Ian Dunross. Although both are tall, the latter possessed slightly wavy blond hair and the actor is definitely a brunette. The literary Dunross was in his early 40s, whereas Brosnan was only 34 years-old when he shot "NOBLE HOUSE". And yet . . . the Irish-born actor more than lived up to the role of Struan's CEO with a commanding performance without trying to hard. Brosnan wore the role very well - tight on the inside and relaxed on the outside. He not only portrayed Dunross's intelligence and ruthlessness with great skill, but also conveyed the CEO's growing concerns over losing the company and desperate attempts to save it without resorting to any kind of histrionic acting. By the time the miniseries ended, Brosnan had embedded into the role so well that I had completely forgotten that he was the wrong age to portray Dunross and possessed the wrong hair color.
"NOBLE HOUSE" never really acquired the acclaim that both television versions of James Clavell's 1975 novel, Shōgun or the movie version of the author's 1962 novel, "King Rat" had. But thankfully, it was no "TAI-PAN". Not that I care. I am not claiming that "NOBLE HOUSE" was mediocre. On the contrary, I thought it was a skillful and excellent adaptation of the 1981 novel. The latter is my favorite Clavell novel and I was more than happy that NBC had did more than simply justice to it, thanks to Gary Nelson's well-paced direction, Eric Bercovici's tight screenplay and performances from a first-rate cast led by Pierce Brosnan and Deborah Raffin. It has been years since I first saw it and to this day, I have yet to grown tired of it.

Jihoon is currently taking a nap besides Felicity's hospital bed, he was wakened by the sound of knocking outside their room.
"Ate Lian" He and Giselle immediately stood up to help Lian on the things she was carrying, fruits, take-out foods, and paper bags full of baby stuff.
"Hi, good morning! Di pa ba gumigising si Felicity after she had her labor?" Lian asked
"Hindi pa po eh" Jihoon replied "Well I guess it's because of the anesthesia and its her first time"
"Probably"
"Ji uwi muna ako ha, sabihan mo nalang si Fel" Giselle said
"Kain ka muna!" Lian offered Giselle the food she brought
"Nako wag na po ate nag mamadali narin po ako eh pero dalhin ko nalang 'tong hash brown haha thank you!"
"Sige ingat!" They waved goodbye to each other
"Nakita mo na ba yung baby?" Lian took a sip of her iced coffee
"Opo ate, nasa nursery po, natatakot ako kargahin eh, gusto mo ba makita?"
"Maybe later pag gising na si Felicity"
They just shared about the what-abouts in their lives until Felicity woke up.
"Ate Lian?" Felicity said in a sleepy tone
"Felicity, gising kana pala may masakit ba sayo?" they worried for a while
"Tawag ako nurse" Jihoon hurriedly went out to call the nurse
"kain ka muna oh nag dala ako food" Lian assisted Felicity to sit down
The room was filled with silence as Felicity ate her food, only the sound of air condition can be heard.
"Good morning po Ms. Lim" The doctor said "Okay naman na po kayo, kelangan niyo lang ng bed rest and mag take nitong mga meds and vitamins, pwede na po kayo mag discharge ngayong hapon or bukas after niyo mag fill-up ng form para sa baby"
"Ay kumusta po pala yung bata, doc?" Lian asked.
"The baby is fine, normal ang weight, very healthy"
"Thank you po doc" They all smiled. 
"Gusto mo ba makita yung baby?" Jihoon aked Felicity but she just gave him a blank stare
"Mamaya pagkatapos ko kumain" Felicity's cold approach towards Jihoon pierced right through his heart, kinakabahan siya, his head clouded with thoughts na baka ayaw palakihin nito ang bata kasama siya.
“I’m done na, pero wait, pwede ba muna ako mag toothbrush” The two started searching for her toiletries.
“Here” Jihoon gave her the oral hygiene kit
“Thanks, kunin mo muna yung baby” Felicity stood up and went to the comfort room
“Are you sure kaya mo?” Lian asked
“Yes ate wait lang
“I’ll get the baby” Felicity just nodded and Jihoon went to the nursery.
“Alam na ba ni Jihoon yung plano mo”
“Hindi pa po pero sasabihan ko lang” deep inside she was hoping that JIhoon will understand the moment she said it to him.
“Okay, but you’ve already made up your mind?”  Felicity just nodded because she was busy brushing her teeth 
Both of them flinched when they heard the door clicked, they saw JIhoon with the nurse carrying their baby. 
Felicity immediately finished what she was doing, there’s still a part of her that she wants to keep the baby, she felt like that would be everything she’ll have in this cruel world but she knows to herself that she wasn’t ready for this kind of responsibility, she still has a lot of things to fix on herself.
She took the baby from the nurse’s arms. Her heart wants to burst out because of what she’s feeling right now.
“So may naisip ka na ba na name?” Lian, who is beside Felicity and carressing the baby’s head.
“Wala pa eh” Jihoon was smiling at the view he is seeing right now, looking at Felicity smiling like she saw the whole universe an thinking that they will be a great family, if she wanted to.
"May naisip ako!” Ji excitingly said and they just looked at him with smiles “What if Hiroki?”
“Hiroki? Doesn’t that mean abundant joy in and strength in Japanese?” LIan said and he nodded ‘because I wanted him to be Felicity’s source of strength and provide her all the joy in the world’
“Kaka-anime mo yan” Felicity teased and they laughed
“What about you, Fel?” she asked Felicity who is still astonished by her baby
“Caelan” she softly said
“Caelan?” 
“Yes, a powerful warrior, cuz I want him to be strong in this world full of hardships” felicity gave a sly smile.
“Oh that’s a nice name” Lian said ‘What if Caelan Hiroki nalang, cute naman ha”
“Oo nga ‘no, oh sige. Hello baby Caelan Hiroki” Jihoon playfully waved at the baby.
They are all enjoying playing and talking  to Caelan but then reality snapped on felicity
“Ji, gusto ko ng Matcha frappe baka pwede ako magpabili” Felicity asked Jihoon
“Sige, ikaw ate? May gusto ka ba?” 
“Wala naman”
“Pakuha nalang ng wallet ko sa bag, Ji”
“Wag na, para namang others ‘to, ako na bahala” Jihoon went out of the room after that.
They fell silent for a while, you can feel the atmosphere getting heavier every second.
“Grabe, Jihoon is very hands-on towards you. sure ka ba na wala kang nabubuong feelings for him?” Felicity didn’t answer he question.
‘May nabubuo nga ba talaga akong feelings? Or komportable ako sa presensya niya kasi siya yung nandiyan nung pnahong pakiramdam ko, tinalikudan ako ng mundo?’ Her inner voice said
“Wala talaga, ate. Tsaka nag sabi naman na siya na ginagawa niya yun para sa bata”
 ‘right para sa bata, pag wala ‘to, wala rin siya, diba?’
“Oh talaga ba?” she nodded “Parang hindi eh” 
“Issue ka ate ah” she giggled, “final, na desisyon ko, you can keep her”
“Really?” Lian tried to sound happy, she loves the idea because she always wanted to have a child but she also thinks about Jihoon
“Yup, ayusin na natin mga papers maya” 
“Okay” Lian smiled “Pero Fel, I’ll still put your last name on him ha or kay Ji baka kasi alam mo na mag bago isip niyomor hanapin kayo ng bata or worse, alam mo naman na sitwasyon ko, kaya I won’t keep him away from you, gusto ko parin siya na makilala kayo” Felicity just smiled on what she said
‘I really do hope na mabalik siya sakin one day, pero magulo pa’

SUBMITTED POST ON CCP AND CHINA:
The ccp and sino are shady af! People outside HongKong want to know root cause which set off protestors: Chan Tong Kai and his crimebill. From Britain's BBC:
They were OG protesting EXTRADITION BILL for a criminal to Taiwan(which is not ch*na), not p*lice or invad*rs. Ch*na wasn't even involved, these "radactivists" just cried foul for nutsacks and "defended" a 2-time criminal who death-penaltied his girlfriend and her unborn baby - unjustifiably. M*rder and violence are still just as big of crimes as racism and terfs! It's the same irreversiblle shit.
Share and spread to those, say the words: Chan Tong Kai, stop 'defending' him! Oh, these "dem-fighters" also support Trump and Boris Johnson+Tories. Clock their usernames!
But you never see that, because the HKers tactics on the internet is to just 'spam' all the fighting posts in tags and sympathy, and call whatever makes HKers look bad "CCP PhOtoShOp N doKtErriNg!!!111!!" so no one will ever suspect them right? That's the YR strategy! Clever, this is how protestors stay looking pure and deflecting their Conservative-supporting tracks, use smutty sino(ch*na) as a scapegoat "editing" when HK do something sus to repull world trust.
Hong Kong is shitty like Ch*na and the C*CP too honestly! Hong Kong has a long history of animal trafficking, it's Ocean Park is the Asian SeaWorld, HK has their own flavor of racism, against j*ngle Asians, Philippinos, SouthEast Asians, Indians and dark-skinned people. Ask any of said nationalities who had to work there. PS. The HongKong 'rebelprotestors' love the Tsag*an Khas(a group of Asian Nazis) as well, and have reached out to them before. 
Not to mention all their "secret" transphobic forums(HK still has anti-trans mentality), the 'radactivists' multiple hacking scandals, open suggestions to su*cide b*mbers to bl*w up XinJiang instead of attacks on France and Vienna(radm**lims only atta*k countries where confirmed offences are committed against their people), trying to message other t*rror*sts forums or groups online and "Collab" to destroy what they asked(YES, many HK protestors did these, if you snip the evidence.....the irony while these Canton-Chi bitches made fun of Arabs and their headwear and mannerisms before 2019 THEMSELVES, ask how some HK ill treat Malays in their schools?!), the business scandals and rich poor gap in HK, these trump-supporting tory-lovin bigots have committed multiple 'small' crimes before! If you managed to dig them up, you will get a huge reward! And Hong Kong abuse Philippine housemaids! Search this one especially, a lot of rich HongKongers grew up with Philippine women as their "servantmaids"!
The ccp machine has certainly done it's work, just putting on an act to destabilize West for shits. Make people forget to fight and solve for issues in their own country and distract, then send HK canton-chis to meddle in elections for questionable leaders! Who else would be so sneaky to stage an internal war and roleplay ccp hate to gain foreign trust, resources, while BAM downlow supporting leaders and people parties who will be banes for said countries?!?! Congratulations on inviting criminal-defenders and far-right supporters across your borders, must be fun. Will they ever grift and fuck up your homeland if you ever discriminate or trigger them in any way there next time! Here's them threatening to launch attacks on Singapore, a country in southeast:
Report this protester poster to the Singapore natives to warn them the HKers are targeting it too and get a huge reward!!! "Easy money"

Singaporean filmmaker K Rajagopal’s first feature film, A Yellow Bird, made headlines last year when it was invited to participate in the Cannes Film Festival’s International Critics’ Week and was in the running for the coveted Camera d’Or award. The film, which tells the story of an ex-convict who tries to re-connect with his family after his release from prison, continues to tour the region.
The self-taught filmmaker has plans to make another short film and feature film, but is keeping mum about the details. He continues to mentor young filmmakers and will play an active role in this year’s Singapore International Film Festival from Nov 23 to Dec 4, as one of the jury members of the Southeast Asian Short Film Competition.
Raja went “On the Record” with Bharati Jagdish about the issues that films have opened his eyes to, why he does not mind that his films are not commercially successful, and what led him to the craft.
K Rajagopal: I think I became a filmmaker because I was a very frustrated actor. I was doing theatre for the longest time, a good 10 years from the mid-80s to the 90s. My teacher in school introduced us to the arts. She would bring us to plays and so I got hooked on it, and I think I’ve always been like that since young.
I liked going on stage and telling stories. I did only one stage play in school but when I started watching local plays like the ones put up by TheatreWorks at that time and William Teo and Kuo Pao Kun, I was very attracted to acting and I remember watching Lim Kay Siu and Lim Kay Tong on stage, and I said to myself that I wanted to act. I wanted to be on stage.  I wanted to do more and I did.
Bharati: Why were you frustrated though?
Raja: There were no roles for me because I think they were always looking for experienced actors or people they knew. So I decided to stage manage for TheatreWorks, just to get Ong Keng Sen’s attention. Just so that he would recognise me, acknowledge me. Finally, one day he asked if I wanted to act in a play.
It was a small part – the role of a policeman and I said “sure”. That’s how it started. I did a lot of his plays. I went for Kuo Pao Kun’s workshops. I did a few with William Teo. This was actually the best education in filmmaking, especially education about acting. I got to learn about actors, to learn how to work with actors.
Bharati: But you said you were frustrated. Why?
Raja: My frustration was because I was not getting the lead part. Because of the scripts, they were for the majority.
Bharati: When you say majority, you mean in terms of race?
Raja: Yeah, I mean Chinese because the writers, the playwrights were mostly Chinese. There were very few Indian writers. But I carried on and I said to myself: “Okay, the minute I get a lead part I’m going to stop.”
And then finally Keng Sen gave me a lead part in a play opposite Kay Tong. It was amazing and after that I just felt satisfied and I felt it was enough. I took a break from theatre. I worked full-time. There was also a change in the whole theatre scene because there were a lot of full-time actors. A lot of my contemporaries decided to quit their jobs and take on full-time acting in theatre.
FAMILIAL COMMITMENTS FUELLED HIS STORY IDEAS
Bharati: We’ll talk more about the race issue in a moment, but why didn’t you do what some of your contemporaries were doing – go into the arts full-time instead of stepping away?
Raja: I had commitments. I had commitments at home. I couldn’t do it.
Bharati: It was about money?
Raja: Yeah,
I had to earn money because my father died and we were a family of five siblings. So I couldn’t. My mother was putting a lot of pressure on me to be responsible and things like that. So I worked and that was when I was in fact, moonlighting. I couldn't study film. I had to work.
I had two jobs and everything. I was working in the hotel industry and I was also teaching in a school for mentally-challenged people. I was a training officer.
So I had different jobs at different times. In my job at a hotel in Little India, I was exposed to a seedy side of Singapore – Sri Lankans running away from their country during the war and they were trying to seek asylum in Europe. There was an influx at that time of foreign workers. A lot of them were illegal and there were sex workers and things like that and it was a very compelling thing. I had all these story ideas in my head and I wanted to tell them.
THE MINORITY EXPERIENCE
Bharati: You actually made a film based on what you saw there. A short film called I Can’t Sleep Tonight. But your filmmaking, as you mentioned earlier, is also connected to your being a “frustrated actor”. You were not able to get lead roles as a result of being of a minority race in Singapore. You’ve said before that you make films, in part, to represent the minority experience.
Raja: As an actor, I played Indian parts, but they were supporting roles. There were local plays with minority characters but I think they were caricatures. There was no identity, no proper representation. When I looked around, there was nothing about my community or where I came from, what I’m familiar with, the language, or the people. It was so prominent. We are multi-racial. So I thought of doing something to protect this. I’m Indian, so whomever I create, the characters I create have to be very close to me.
Bharati: You said most of the writers were ethnically Chinese and you think that’s why minorities were not represented. Some might say in a multi-racial society that is, on the face of it, as integrated as we are, that’s no excuse. Even Singaporean Chinese individuals should be able to be conscious of being inclusive and have their writing be representative of the racial realities on the ground. Writers should be aware of sometimes making their protagonists a minority race, whether it is Indian or Malay, or having actors of a minority race, based on merit, play lead roles. You shouldn’t need Indian writers to do that for Indians or Malay writers to do that for Malays. What do you think?
Raja: I think it is very important that when we create new work, whether it’s in theatre or film, that you should not just write in a character for the sake of having a multi-racial mix in that film.
I think you should be honest and if you feel that it is required, then you do it. Otherwise, we can’t force it.
So I’m Indian, and I can tell the Indian story, but my work often requires a character to interact with someone of a different race. It’s part of the story, so I might have a Chinese protagonist too.
But if a Chinese writer feels that they want to write about their own experience and that does not include a non-Chinese person, you can’t force them to create work for the purpose of being inclusive.
I think you should be honest with what you want to do. I think there are a lot more filmmakers, Indian filmmakers telling Indian stories today. I think if you want to be part of it, you have to stand up and create your own work.
Bharati: You make a good point in that it shouldn’t be forced, and in some cases, the work may not call for minority representation. But to some extent, based on what you’ve said, the exclusion could be indicative of people living insular lives where their experience does not include people of other races, hence does not get reflected in their art.
Also if they wouldn’t, based on merit, give a lead role to a minority actor especially if the part does not call for a person of any specific race, it’s rather disturbing. Don’t you find these possibilities disturbing?
Raja: Honestly I think on the surface, yes, we may all seem to be living harmoniously but we have huge differences. It’s also about the way we live. We tend to not fully want to understand each other. I think because there’s too much emphasis on racial integration and in fact, because of that, you really feel the difference. Maybe if there weren’t too much emphasis on this, you wouldn’t.
You may just not think about it and get to know each other as human beings.  There might be talk about Deepavali and having the other communities find out more. But we do it in a very artificial way in schools and sometimes at the grassroots level. If you look at Singapore in the early days when we had kampung style living, I think it was more natural.
Bharati: More organic?
Raja: Yes, and people just didn’t think and they just lived together. But now even in the HDB blocks, there are racial quotas.
When it’s controlled that way, these enforced rules about multi-racial living make a lot more obvious – the differences. I think that’s created a problem in a way.
Bharati: I can see where you’re coming from, but if there hadn’t been policies to encourage racial integration, might there have been even more serious problems? We’ve seen evidence of this in our past – the racial riots.
Raja: Yes, that did happen. But I think there’s a bit too much control in trying to make us think in a certain way or participate in activities that are organised and it’s not because all of the people sincerely want to know more about someone of another race. So I think the approach needs to change.
Bharati: How would you suggest this be done instead?
Raja: I think you should allow people to do it on their own and I think a lot of us do it naturally. I may not go to grassroots events but I’m I naturally concerned about my neighbour whether they are Indian or Chinese.
Bharati: Not everyone naturally feels that way.
Raja: I think it has to start in school. You may want to acknowledge that we are different but at the same time, we should be taught human values where things have nothing to do with race. Talk about the human experience regardless of race. In that way it is more inclusive in a natural way.
Saying that there are Indians and Malays and in a multi-racial society you have to know more about them – people tend not to pay attention to too many of those messages. Allow people to learn from each other or to understand each other in a more natural, organic way.
“I WAS EMBARRASSED BY MY INDIAN-NESS”
Bharati:  You yourself have said that you’ve felt as if you were “on the edge and an outsider in your own country”.
Raja: Because now I’m seen as a foreigner. I think also because there are more Indian expatriates now, Singaporeans ask me where I’m from.
When I tell them I’m from Singapore, they don’t want to believe me. They’ll say: “Ya, I know. Now you’re in Singapore. But before, where were you from?” But I was born here.
They think I'm from India. They forget or don't know that many of us have been here for generations. A lot of people, a lot of people have this idea that the Indians living here are all expatriates, that they were not born here. That’s frustrating. That’s why I write, put it into a film to sort of explore you being a foreigner being in your own country where you are not accepted, where you are seen differently.
Bharati: So clearly something has gone wrong. In spite of the fact that so many members of the minority communities were born in Singapore and some of us have had family here since Singapore’s independence, if not even before that, some Singaporeans are only familiar with the expatriates who’ve recently entered the country.
Raja: I don’t know what it is. There’s a disconnect somewhere. We need to go out and get to know people more. Not be so self-absorbed maybe and have more dialogue with each other about identity.
Bharati: I understand you’ve struggled with your identity for a long time though. It’s not a recent thing for you.
Raja: Because I felt like I was Chinese for the longest time when I was growing up. I felt like I couldn’t identify with the Indian race because I was embarrassed by my “Indian-ness”.
Bharati: Why were you embarrassed?
Raja: Because I was made fun of. It wasn’t serious. It wasn’t like I was bullied or anything like that, but it affected me when I was made fun of for being Indian.
Bharati: How were you made fun of?
Raja: The oil in my hair. I refused to use oil after that. I stopped speaking my language because people made fun of it. But I made friends with Chinese and they accepted me.
Bharati: But you felt you had to distance yourself from your Indian-ness. You don’t think that’s serious?
Raja: Definitely, I was ashamed of my culture. But I made very good Chinese friends so I can’t say that people are racists.
Bharati: But you felt that you had to distance yourself from your Indian identity in order to be accepted by your Chinese friends. We can’t say what they were thinking. But the fact that they made fun of you and you then distanced yourself from your culture in order to be able to make friends and be accepted – surely that’s serious.
Raja: Yes, there’ll always be a group of people who discriminate. Maybe they don’t know better. I think it’s a question of ignorance. So as a child, I too didn’t know better. I just wanted to be accepted and I changed in order for that to happen.
Bharati: Unfortunately, that doesn’t really help others understand the differences and accept a person who might be different from them.
Raja: Yes, if we had better dialogue about our differences and talked about them as human differences rather than racial differences, and help our children do that as well, things might get better.
Bharati: We also have to bear in mind that not all people of a particular race are the same as each other– so yes, human differences rather than racial differences.
Raja: I don’t really know how but I think if someone talks about their experience in school … if you want to make someone respect another person’s culture, religion or race or customs, then it’s for them to understand it from its roots, more than just very superficial education.
I think it should go deeper than telling people that during Hari Raya they do this, or during Deepavali, they just eat cakes. It shouldn’t be about food or clothes.
There needs to be more dialogue - have kids talk about it or write about it or express what they feel, why just because a person’s skin colour is different from yours, they are worse or better than you.
“MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE IN MY SKIN”
Bharati: You’ve said before that you’ve spent a lot of time searching for your identity. Have you managed to find answers?
Raja: Yes, I’m much more comfortable in my skin.
Bharati: How did you get to this stage?
Raja: I went to India. It was the migrant population that I encountered in Singapore while I was making my films that made me want to go to India. I had gone there as a child. My next trip was as an adult on a backpacking trip from the South to the North. I realised how beautiful it was and how ignorant I was to be ashamed of my culture. But the trip made me feel proud of having that kind of ancestry. I went back to Kerala where my ancestors came from and right up to Nepal. And when I came back I think I realised that a lot of it is something that I can feel for – the language, the food, the customs, religion. I could understand myself better. I was not so anxious about who I was.
Bharati: How did connecting with India help you connect here in Singapore, as a Singaporean Indian?
Raja: I think I started to look at people and where they came from differently. I was happy to converse in Tamil, which I also learnt to speak. So I was not shy about being Indian anymore. I was not shy to talk about the fact that I watched Indian films. Before, I wouldn’t say if I watched a Tamil movie, or listened to Indian music because I was worried that my friends would make fun of me. They may not have made fun of that but because I had been made fun of in other ways for being Indian, I thought they might make fun of this too.  
“SINGAPOREANS ARE VERY CLOSED OFF, IGNORANT”
Bharati: What else has filmmaking opened your eyes to?
Raja: When I screened A Yellow Bird, I realised a lot of people are not familiar with the marginalised in society. They are not familiar with the people, my characters.
They asked me and actually these questions came from young Singaporeans: “Where did you do your research? Are these people real?” When I told them I did the research right here in Singapore and these characters are based on Singaporeans and people who live here, they were surprised.
They asked about the locations.
“Where did you film this? Did you go abroad to film?”
I said: “No, this is Singapore. Have you looked around?”
These were all real locations here. It was not a set. There was a foreigner in the audience who said: “You know, I’ve only been here three months and I’ve seen all this.” I filmed at Maude Road, Little India, a quarry in Tampines. They thought these places were overseas. It was all done in Singapore and they didn’t know.
I think Singaporeans are very closed off, ignorant. Either they do not want to learn or they are too engrossed in their own lives.
Maybe it’s the affluence but I think it is also how we live our lives now. Everything is about the phone and the technology has kind of closed us in. We don’t explore real life. We don’t walk around. We don’t want to know about other peoples’ lives that are not represented on social media.
When we see someone who’s not like us, we keep them out. We are not interested. And I think it has become quite selfish that way - ignoring things that don’t interest you or involve you, things you are uncomfortable with.
So even when it came to my film, when they were watching these characters, they were very uncomfortable with the characters. Some of them asked me if these things happened in Singapore. Did the sex workers really hide here? I said: “Yes, it’s from a newspaper article.” They just didn’t know. So they’re not even reading.
Bharati: What do you think it will take for people to open up their minds to what’s happening around them, to care a little bit more?
Raja: I think it starts with the kind of education that we have. I think although they say it’s more leaning towards critical thinking instead of rote learning or creating bookworms now, I think it has to change a lot more at different levels. It’s not just in primary and secondary, but at the tertiary level.
People need to be made to read more, to think more, to look more. I do think a lot of people have been affected in a strange way by the migrant situation. I think that has changed the way people looked at other races because the coming of the Chinese from China has created a kind of tension between Singaporean Chinese and the Chinese from China as well.
I mean it’s not just about two different races, right? I think all that has to change as well. I recently saw a story from Lebanon where the education minister was fighting to take in migrant kids and giving them places in schools. He said he felt strongly about it because he was once a migrant and he ran away from his country and came to Lebanon and that gave him hope. So he wants to give all these people who are stranded, hope. So he created a school and positions for them so that they could study. These kinds of stories inspire me to think that we should be more accepting. We should open up, we should integrate. We should take this as a part of our lives now. We should see where it goes instead of being antagonistic.
Bharati: Some efforts are being made to encourage integration between new Singapore citizens and the rest of the population, efforts to increase acceptance of transient workers. What do you think of those?
Raja: Again, while they are good, it shouldn’t be too forced like our racial integration policies. I think let it all happen. I mean why even try to force. Just encourage people to look outside themselves generally and everything will evolve and slowly find its own kind of resolve. It will resolve. And then a new problem will arise and I think that makes it more interesting. We shouldn’t force it. Let everyone live through it and see what happens.
Bharati: Even if living through it means living through some chaos, some unrest?
Raja: Yes, I think sometimes you need it. I think it’s important to find out. Like when the Little India riots happened a few years ago, it made us realise that we cannot take anything for granted, and more also needs to be done to look at the welfare of migrants. It was shocking. Something like that happening in Singapore - no one expected it. It’s not that I’m saying we need such things to happen or that I wish it upon Singapore. We are peace-loving people, but sometimes, in spite of efforts things go wrong, and you need that little bit of a shake-up to make us think better. I feel that we take a lot of things for granted and when such things happen it could make more realise that these people are just like us.
Bharati: Or it could have a reverse effect. It could make people fear the people involved.
Raja: That’s where education and awareness can come in. We need to take care of them too, accept them. Why are we so antagonistic? Why are we trying to create this tension that could result in chaos?
MORE HELP NEEDED FOR THE UNDERCLASS
Bharati: Your movies are often about an underclass. What do you think helped you develop this sensitivity?
Raja: I’m very interested in them. I think because I’m of an older generation, in my 50s now, we were more exposed to such things. We were less on our phones and explored the island more. Plus I held jobs like the one at the hotel in Little India which exposed me migrants, but also the lower-income class in Singapore.
Sometimes I feel that there’s a neglect of these people; for example, older people collecting cardboard. I think a lot more can be done to raise their status. It makes me sad to see old people working. I feel that that should stop. I think it’s time they enjoy their old age, but I see so many working.
Bharati: The government does provide assistance, but we largely live in a society that encourages self-reliance. While you say more needs to be done to help, what’s a good balance?
Raja: Not everyone has the same capacity. Some people make mistakes and don’t plan well for their futures, or just lived in bad circumstances from the start. When people are young, they should be encouraged to fend for themselves, but I’m talking about older people who after a certain age, should be taken care of much, much better. They shouldn’t be looking for cardboard.
We are not a big country. We can identify who these people are and do something about it. I’m sure there is support, and NGO support as well, but then why do we still see such things. Why don’t we have policies that say that if you come from a certain income group, and are of a certain age, we will support you with maybe, a pension.
Bharati: Of course, social assistance is not free. It’s taxpayers’ money.
Raja: Yes, I realise that such policies have caused huge problems in the West and countries can go bankrupt. But I think we are much smaller and maybe we can do slightly better in looking after the old.
Bharati: Your films often touch on sensitive issues like race and discrimination. I know that none of them have been officially censored or banned by the authorities after they were made, but have you ever had to self-censor during the filmmaking process?
Raja: Actually, no.  The rating system has helped, I think. I’ve been okay with the ratings my films have been given. There were no cuts for A Yellow Bird. It was given an M18 rating which is fair enough. I think any one younger would not have enjoyed the film because I think you need to have a bit more life experience in order to understand what these characters were doing. When you’re a bit younger, you may lose interest in the film. So I didn’t mind that.
There were a lot of vulgarities in the film, but there were no cuts. I’m ok with the ratings system, but not with cuts and bans. Why should we ban something? Honestly, I think when a filmmaker makes a film and they want to say something, we should learn to trust that the audience is mature enough to process it whether or not they like the film and if they disagree with something – they don’t have to watch it themselves, but don’t prevent others from doing so.
So far, I don’t think I’m saying anything adverse in my films. I think it’s because I present it as it is. I try to be as honest as possible. In terms of issues that I want to talk about, I’ve not had to self-censor at all.
MORE FUNDING FOR LESS COMMERCIALLY VIABLE FILMS
Bharati: We’ve seen a number of successful filmmakers such as yourself in the spotlight lately. What are the enduring challenges that you face as a filmmaker today though?
Raja: I think there’s a lack of faith in films that are not commercial.
The authorities sometimes don’t have faith when giving grants. They tend to bet on commercially viable films.
But having said that, I must say I’m grateful for the grant that I got. But I think more such films need to be funded and without too many conditions. I don’t expect things to happen overnight. Every system will take time. Let’s also be okay with making mistakes. Sometimes bad films are made; we shouldn’t let that stop us. Let’s learn from those experiences and move on.
Bharati: I understand that while your film was sold out at certain festival screenings even in Singapore, but it didn’t do well at the commercial cinema box office. Why do you think this was so?
Raja: I wish more people had gone to watch it. But I understand because the film did not have any big mainstream stars. It was not fast-paced and it was heavy. Also it was released in December. It was the holidays and people don’t want to see a depressing, dark film about a man who is struggling.
Bharati: How do you think the audience for artistic independent films can grow? How can people be encouraged to explore difficult issues through art and not just look at films as entertainment?
Raja: I think we should encourage them a lot more in terms of exposure. I’m hoping that the younger lot of people who are studying film would come out and influence others more, or attract more audience with good content. I don’t think a good film would ever go unnoticed. Eventually it will find its place. It would be good if private investors or the government could pump more money into marketing such work too.
We need to see the value of the work and take a risk. Often, people wait for the work to win an international award before they watch it. Why must it be internationally recognised before you think it’s good? I think we have to change our mindset. I think as long as we keep doing the good work and we are very persistent with it, not give up, eventually, people might come around and say: “Hey, you’re still at it. Maybe I’ll watch it.”
Bharati: You’ve said that you never had the luxury of quitting your job to become a full-time filmmaker. Considering you haven’t been able to make money out of your filmmaking career, I guess that’s still not an option. Don’t you wish you could though?
Raja: Yes, but I’m okay with the current circumstance. I don’t mind not making money out of my films.
I don't look at it as work. I don’t look at it as a business. I look at it as something so part of me that I’m creating, so even if it doesn’t make money, it’s fine. If something good happens or comes out of it, fine. I'll be happy about it, but I don’t set out to say that I’m going to make a film and I want money for it. I do it because I had this urge inside to tell stories.
The short films that I won awards for earlier in my career did help me get paid jobs in TV. They recognised me as a director and they have trusted me with TV jobs that are my livelihood now. But the films themselves are to explore difficult issues, and if that’s not commercially viable yet, it’s fine. And I’m okay to work another job for my livelihood. That’s the reality and it’s fine.
Making films changes me as a person, grows me as a person and that, for me, is very attractive.
Also, I must remember that it was some of these jobs I did that inspired my films. As I mentioned earlier, I Can’t Sleep Tonight was inspired by what I was exposed to in my job at a hotel in Little India. So that provided me with life experience to make films.
Bharati: While it might do that for you, if your work only gets a small audience, doesn’t it make you question the point of it?
Raja: Of course, I really want people to watch the film because I’m sharing a story and it’s important for them to identify with it.
Bharati: Have you ever thought of making the films more palatable to a mainstream audience in order to maximise their impact?
Raja: I want to set out to be honest as possible when I’m doing it. After that, if only one person likes it, I can’t help it. I can’t control that at all.
But I wouldn’t rewrite a scene just to get an audience, make them laugh or something just to get more people to watch it. I just do what comes to my mind, my instincts and I follow that.
And if it reaches out and it reaches out only to a certain point, then I’m not going to force it. I’m not saying I don’t want the audience to watch or that I’m only doing it for myself. I’m not. But really, all I can do is be honest in my work and I know it makes an impact even though it’s not for a large audience.
One lady came up to me after a screening of A Yellow Bird and she was crying, she was weeping. She said she felt like the character in the film, searching for the truth. I didn’t know how to react. I just held her hand and sat down with her. At the same time, there are people who say they didn’t get it. And I’m okay with that. That’s to be expected.
Bharati: We’ve seen a number of successful Singaporean filmmakers emerge in recent years, but based on your observations, can we expect much more considering the financial risks involved?
Raja: Just from talking to students, I realise that a lot of them don’t stick with it. They go off and do things that make them money. It’s a reality. You need to make money to live. I do that as well but to continue with what you believe in and continue filmmaking that way without money, I think, is when you know it sets you apart from the rest. And then you know that’s when you really believe in the art. I realised that I could not live without telling the stories in my head and so I continued. It takes mental, emotional and physical stamina for you to do a film. I love it and I will continue trying my best.

菲律宾华人学校集合
菲律宾华人学校集合
发表时间:2天前 作者:幸运城 更多文章
有好些博友在问这边双语学校的问题,小鱼将菲律宾的华人学校做了一个集合,供有需要的朋友参考。现网上可搜到的一些华人学校的中文信息,很多信息都有偏差,小鱼已经将所有的学校信息和学校的官网或是电话进行了对比核实,力求将最准确的信息提供给大家。大家知道这边的学校大部分都是私立的,有的学校可能只是在用facebook而已,没有官方网站。有的就根本没有注重网站这块的建设,小鱼将这种网上查不到信息的学校的电话添在学校地址的后面,有需要的话可以直接电联学校。有网站或者facebook的学校,已经附上网址,可以直接点击学校名称查询。菲律宾的华人学校总共大概有一百四十多所,分布在全菲各地,其中马尼拉最多。大多数华校都实行���儿园(3年),小学(6年)、中学(4年)的学制。大部分博友在找的是这边的幼儿园,这里我就给大家简单介绍一下。菲律宾华人幼儿园在菲律宾学费相当高,价格一学年普遍在10万菲币以上,可以说比大学还贵,制度和中国的幼儿园也大有差异,一天的课时一般都只有3个小时左右,如果施行的是双语教育,一般包括一小时的中文课程,两小时的英文课程,期间还包括一些休息和点心的时间,点心都是要自己带哦,不像中国的幼儿园一样学校会准备。从幼儿园开始学校就规定学生每天都要穿校服(Uniform),感觉这样是在从小建立公平的观念,规避学生之间的攀比或者老师对学生的偏好现象。现在新规幼儿园的小朋友只能收5岁以下的,因为6岁已经到了上小学的年龄。学校对小班中班大班的说法不一,一般都包括Nursery(2-3岁),Kinder 1(3-4岁),Kinder 2(4-5岁),也有的学校会分成Toddler(幼童班), Nursery, Pre-kinder, Kinder, Preparatory(学前班)这样的类型。学校接收学生一般都会通过简单的考试对孩子进行评估,有的学校声源比较好的,招生人数都有限制,需要提前预定才可以占到名额,有的甚至要提前一年以上哦。如果有博友想问哪所学校的具体信息,可以在下面回复,大家来一起讨论一下。下面是马尼拉华人学校的集合:

Last Day to Enjoy 2X Loyalty Points for RS 2007 Gold as RSorder Back to School Specials
Figure 3. Examples of enantiopure donors prepared in chapter 3.]. In
rs07 gold chapter 4 the investigation of the coordination chemistry of novel BEDT TTF substituted ligand (VI) with first row transition metals has started. One must seriously consider two major areas when evaluating the purchase of a hunting rifle scope: Performance features, and cost. Going hand in hand with each other, one can consider purchasing an entry level hunting scope in the couple of hundred dollar range up to exceptionally sophisticated scopes costing thousands of dollars. Aside from budget and performance features, a hunter should also take the terrain that they intend to hunt in into serious consideration as well..
In the first installment, Cranes peaceful world is shattered when Kahn Xin (Lim Kay Tong) and his mercenaries raid his temple and slay his mentor. In search of his masters murderers, Crane infiltrates the Shanghai underworld where he encounters Jane Marshall (Hannah), a lounge singer from Brooklyn, who is on a mission of her own " to find her lost brother, who is being held captive by Kahn. Realizing that Kahns evil plans are more intricate and widespread than originally thought, Crane teams up with Jane in order to enter Kahns inner circle.
His mother was a disgrace wailing and ranting that her son had suffered enough. Had she no respect for the family of Tyler Clementi who was sitting there suffering the loss of their beloved son? The judge was way too lenient. My fear is this will now set a precedent for future cases where anyone can bully and harrass someone and it will lead to suicide and the person wiho did the bullying will not be held accountable!.
A Tale in the Desert is based on Earth but is a period piece (Ancient Egypt), although you are an active participant in the society and it's not strictly historical. OS X client, $13.95 a month, and I understand people who are hardcore about it are very hardcore. (Friends of mine play, I don't.).
Bear in mind, however, that this stop level only "triggers" the closing of the position and doesn't guarantee you'll get out at that price. A quick price drop might mean your order was executed at $42 instead of $45 because of market volatility   but this would be an extreme case. Also, if you carry the position overnight and IBM opened at $40, then that's the price it would be sold.
Ordinary men and women invested growing sums in stocks and bonds. A new industry of brokerage houses, investment trusts, and margin accounts enabled ordinary people to purchase corporate equities with borrowed funds. Purchasers put down a fraction of the price, typically 10 percent, and borrowed the rest.
Happy to join in RSorder Back to School Specials event to enjoy OSRS gold, RS gold and other products with 6% off for all, and double Loyalty Points for members from September 3 to September 10, 2020! If you are not RSorder members, you can register free in advance easily.
Notes:
6% off code "RSD6" for All orders.
Every 100 loyal points can be used as $1.
Besides, long-term 5% off code "RSYK5" is also offered for U to buy Osrs gold / Runescape 3 Gold and all other products from https://www.rsorder.com/ at anytime.

Park Min Young, Kim Jae Wook và AB6IX giành chiến thắng lớn tại StarHub Night Of Stars 2019
New Post has been published on http://www.sieuthikpop.com/park-min-young-kim-jae-wook-va-ab6ix-gianh-chien-thang-lon-tai-starhub-night-of-stars-2019/
Park Min Young, Kim Jae Wook và AB6IX giành chiến thắng lớn tại StarHub Night Of Stars 2019
Park Min Young, Kim Jae Wook và AB6IX giành chiến thắng lớn tại StarHub Night Of Stars 2019
StarHub Night of Stars 2019 trở lại Marina Bay Sands ở Singapore lần thứ hai vào ngày 24 tháng 11, với một đội hình thú vị. Các ngôi sao như Park Min Young, Kim Jae Wook và AB6IX đã bay tới để làm duyên cho sự kiện này, bao gồm Thảm xanh và Lễ trao giải.
Tại Thảm xanh, AB6IX đã đặt tên cua tiêu đen và thậm chí bak kut teh (một món sườn heo nấu trong nước dùng) là món ăn địa phương yêu thích của họ. Khi được yêu cầu chọn thành viên hài hước nhất của họ, tất cả các thành viên đã thống nhất chỉ vào Lee Dae Hwi. Thành viên được chọn cũng giữ ABNEW (tên fandom chính thức của nhóm) trên ngón chân của họ bằng cách gợi ý về một chuyến lưu diễn thế giới vào năm tới!
Mặc bộ váy trắng thanh lịch, lung linh, Park Min Young sững sờ bước qua Thảm xanh. Đây có thể là một TMI nhỏ (quá nhiều thông tin), nhưng chị tôi cũng ở Singapore! Nữ diễn viên nói thêm rằng chị gái không có mặt tại sự kiện, nhưng bận rộn với công việc của chính mình.
Kim Jae Wook là người cuối cùng xuất hiện trên Thảm xanh và nói rằng anh rất hào hứng khi thử món cua ớt như nhiều người đề nghị món ăn. Nam diễn viên thậm chí đã đáp lại những tiếng la hét của Ryan Ryan Gold, tên của nhân vật của anh ấy trong cuộc sống riêng tư của cô ấy!
Là người chiến thắng giải thưởng Ngôi sao đang lên, Lim Young Min đại diện cho AB6IX là người lãnh đạo và có bài phát biểu chấp nhận.
Xin chào, đây là AB6IX. Cảm ơn bạn rất nhiều vì đã mời chúng tôi đến Singapore. Thật vinh dự khi giành được một giải thưởng lớn như Ngôi sao đang lên 2019. Thông qua giải thưởng này, AB6IX sẽ tiếp tục cải thiện và phát triển, vì vậy chúng tôi yêu cầu rất nhiều sự quan tâm. Cảm ơn bạn.”
Đến cuối lễ trao giải, các chàng trai một lần nữa giải trí với đám đông bằng cách trình diễn các ca khúc chủ đề của họ, BẮT ĐẦU BẠC ĐÔI và BLIND FOR LOVE.
Kim Jae Wook và Park Min Young đã thể hiện hóa học của họ với tư cách là những diễn viên hàng đầu của cuộc sống riêng tư của cô ấy bằng cách không chỉ xuất hiện trên sân khấu cùng nhau, mà còn ngồi cùng nhau trong khán giả! Lần lượt giành được giải thưởng Ngôi sao nam châu Á xuất sắc nhất và Giải thưởng Ngôi sao nữ châu Á xuất sắc nhất, mỗi diễn viên bày tỏ lòng biết ơn đối với thành tích của họ.
Khi tôi nhận được lời đề nghị biểu diễn Sung Deok Mi trong Life Cuộc sống riêng tư của cô ấy, tôi đã chắc chắn nếu tôi có thể làm được. Nhưng tôi nghĩ về những người hâm mộ đã tin tưởng vào tôi và cho tôi thấy tình yêu và sự ủng hộ vô điều kiện nên tôi đã nắm lấy cơ hội và tôi rất biết ơn vì điều này. Tôi sẽ tiếp tục làm việc chăm chỉ và trở thành một nữ diễn viên tốt hơn. Một lần nữa, cảm ơn Singapore rất nhiều vì đã cho tôi cơ hội này. Park Park Min Young đã nói bằng tiếng Anh.
Cảm ơn bạn StarHub đã mời, tôi rất biết ơn khi nhận được giải thưởng này. Tôi biết rằng Life Cuộc sống riêng tư của cô ấy rất được đón nhận trên toàn thế giới và tôi nghĩ rằng tôi đã đạt được rất nhiều từ bộ phim này. Tôi cũng muốn cảm ơn bạn diễn Park Min Young, cũng như đội ngũ đằng sau bộ phim này, anh Kim Kim Wook nói bằng tiếng Hàn.
