cantonese banned in singapore!

Believe it or not, all non-Mandarin Chinese dialects are banned in cinemas and free TV in Singapore! All Hong Kong films are dubbed into Mandarin, and apparently, this is sometimes done very poorly resulting in lost nuances at best, lost ambient sound at worst! Some Singaporeans actually troop to JB to catch Hong Kong flicks!

mwaahahha...now only u know ah?
they allow some hokkien though..
it's catch 22: watch dubbed HK flicks here uncensored, or go back msia and watch censored HK flicks in cantonese.

Succumbing to my wanderlust…
