the government is in cahoots with the mda and mediacorp, creating propagandic dramas on channel 8 and channel u.
some examples include the potrait crap (where the family sells fishballs), holland v (sells nasi lemak) and double happiness (sells fish and chips). these dramas promote the F&B (food and beverage) industry, which is one of the government's aim, that more singaporeans take F&B business up for a living.
another significant example is the NKF dramas, where they have a very tetchy story about a few kids and adults in singapore getting various diseases and not losing hope blah blah blah... these aim at getting more donations (to go to ppl like tt durai instead of the needy ones)
Currently, they're creating dramas trying to promote happy-family crap and make s'poreans sympathise with foreigners (to make them accept those foreign "talents" who steal jobs larr).
and yes, i do watch ch 8 occasionally.
isnt that abit exaggerting?
