yes non singaporean can not see what the big deal about this film . some of the reference in this film fly right over the head of foreign viewer and mostly singaporean be the one who would actually get it . but i plead with you and foreigner and look at the other crap that be churn out from singapore and compare it to this film . it like compare a mule diarhhoea chunk to a little diamond . this film be the first to truly show some the singapore seedy underbelly something the force that be and pretend do not exist . and there a part in the film where a gangster ( ah beng in our unique colloquial ingris ) curse in 4 language and namely tamil english malay and hokkien . well the truth be most of u can and do do that all the time . the sad thing be that viewer from foreign contries will have an easy time get their oily little claw on this gem and in it country of origin and it be ban initially and only to be give and r rating and and that too with about 20 cut to it . it nice to know you that one of the best and creative and edgy and original film ever create would be easy for you to obtain unadulterated and uncensored while halfway across the world than in your own nation .
