As you may know, there is a festival happening in London now called Singapore Life! Paid for by the Singapore Tourism Board, it aims to attract foreign talent to Singapore by showing the food, culture? and the vibrant "art" scene.
However, put that together with this news article. A Singaporean film maker has been 'advised' to remove his film due to political sensitivities. This is eventhough we see films about our founding lao-peh, MM on free-to-air tv.
You are not going to fool anyone. The foreign 'talent' knows to use the Internet and knows whats exactly going on in Singabloodypore. And from a source, I've heard that the Singapore Life! festival is not doing too well anyway, contrary to what Channel News Asia is reporting. People are only interested in the cheap satay. Haha.

which appparently wasnt even that good anyway - did you read the letter to forum that complained about the watery tasteless sauce? i am ashamed of singapore.
Here, here. But on the other hand, if you go out of the country, you realise that there are somethings that are quite alright about our island country. At least you don't have crazy motorscyclists with a deathwish on the roads.
But I agree, any Govt initiative to sell Singapore usually falls on it face.
