On the 2-Night Redang cruise departed from Singapore on 3 May, more than 1,980 SuperStar Virgo passengers from Australia, China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, the Philippines, Taiwan, Thailand, the U.S., and other countries enjoyed a number of “Ah Boys to Men”-themed events, including “In the Army” party at Galaxy of Stars learning the “Recruit Anthem” Dance Craze and also interactive games on Redang Island.

The combined box office of Ah Boys To Men 1 and 2 has grossed over S$14.2million domestically so far.

  • Social Construction of Singapore's Humor Industry
    Intercultural Communication Studies XIX: 1 2010 Lin & Tan How Cultural and Linguistic Pluralism Shape Humor: Social Construction of Singapore’s Humor Industry Trisha T. C. Lin & Phoebe Shu Wei Tan, Nanyang Technological University This study views Singapore’s humor industry through the theoretic lenses of social construction. It aims to examine the unique characteristics of Singapore humor and investigate how Singapore’s rojak culture (Chua, 1998) and social actors (content creator, market/audience, and government/policy) have shaped the trajectory of the humor industry. Data were collected through interviews with TV comedy producers, stand-up comedians, and theatre practitioners, as well as through three-month-long observation of local comedy scenes. Thematic data analysis (Miles & Huberman, 1994) was used to analyze transcribed interviews, observational field notes, and second-hand documents. The findings show Singapore humor is characterized by over-the-top visuals, frequent use of “Singlish” and Chinese dialects, satires of current affairs, and influences from western culture. The fear of failure, mianzi (Hwang, Francesco & Kessler, 2003), is Singapore’s cultural trait that hinders the development of Singapore’s humor industry. Its humor content creation relies on a formulaic approach, in order to cater for the perceived needs of mainstream audiences. Moreover, the content censorship, which serves as a crucial means to maintain order and harmony in this multicultural and multiracial society, still restricts creativity in humor creation and partially accounts for the lackadaisical Singapore humor industry. Humor is an innately complicated social phenomenon which can be found universally in all cultures, and plays a central, necessary part in social life (Billig, 2005).

An orphan (naturally) finds that a Money cute panda cub is his only true friend, and this leads to the pair traipsing alone through the lovely, but dangerous, Sichuan countryside. For the Taiwan release, distributor Buena Vista International, a Disney company, has changed the Chinese title from “panda on the road home” to “panda on the road to reunion” in a pun on the names of the Taipei Zoo pandas.
