Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. “Honor your father and mother,” which is the first commandment with promise (Ephesians 6:1-2)
A man came to the Prophet and said, "O Allah's Apostle! Who is more entitled to be treated with the best companionship by me?" The Prophet said, "Your mother." The man said. "Who is next?" The Prophet said, "Your mother." The man further said, "Who is next?" The Prophet said, "Your mother." The man asked for the fourth time, "Who is next?" The Prophet said, "Your father." ^ Sahih Bukhari, Volume 8, Book 73, Number 2
@aliancer That the grandmother is sick and the doctor told him that she needs to go to the hospital because she is becoming worse... I dont know what exactly is her illness... but u get what i mean!!!
My father takes revends on me, even when I accidentally step on to his feet he will step back deliberately and I was only 8 yo. I am confuse is he he or bad.
That is why at age 17, I am always on the side with my parents from going to night markets or shopping with them. Other teenagers thinks that hanging with your mom is weird. It is not because there isn't much time to spend with the person who has raised you from the beginning. Kids take their parents for granted and in the end they love their parents dearly.
I teared. :) Amazingly, I teared. I've don't cry even if my mama hit me. After watching this video, I felt a great strong impact punch landed on my face. :)
Yea~ I think as the caption goes: Filial Piety and most of you seem to agree on this theme, then I feel that the producer has brought his intended message across; which in turn - is a success.
A small minority probably may not agree, but all that talk about how-good-this-is-vs-that is nothing but mental masturbation.
Instead of demeaning this vid, I think it'd be better to give comments on how to improve it. Isn't it tiring to be "right" all the time?
worse thing is, that's exactly what's happening in my family right now /: it's so saddening to see the degradation of the human mind as age takes its toll.
A really touching video. the sequence of it was very effective. i think the actors are really good to. i mean this is definitely something i can relate to.
If you really need to spend time debating on whether is it a good or bad advertisement , then perhaps you have missed the point of the message that it is trying to send completely.
@1979PepsiCola, i totally agree with you. why argue whether its a good or bad ad and miss the point? but like what videokill75 said, why do we need such ads to remind us to be filial? Shouldn't being filial be something we already know and understand it's our responsibility be filial towards our parents/elders/guardians?
@ch0cstr4wb3rry Because when people serves you food, you should appreciate them for taking the effort to cook for you no matter it tastes good or bad. Even if it's bad, you should say it in a polite way. It's extremely rude to complain and say their food could kill you.
@ch0cstr4wb3rry I agree with 'eunicept10's comment. 'Filial Piety: Father and Son' leaves much too much to the imagination. The daughter-in-law at first resentful then accepting of the MIL's behavior also seems schizophrenic to me. This is a bad advert by any measure. Pls search youtube for 'Going Home' (Singapore Polytechnic- Directed by Vinn Bay) that says "Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause of dementia and is NOT part of normal aging." - thus the flaw in this NatFamilyCouncil video.
@denopry : it is 'unconditional' proviso: that it has been earned/ deserved. I'm not saying dat GM doesn't deserved to be loved, I'm just saying that this vid is unclear bc the DIL's behavior seems schizophrenic and the G-son seems confused by all this adult 'wayang'. --- Overambitious and unconvincing advert overall.
The lack of specification that Granny is 'demented' remains the severe flaw of this video, resulting in the audience being misled, or worse- forced into accepting the wrong values.

I don't understand what the hell is wrong with some people, either they think too much or they don't use their shallow brains to think at all. The message of this video was very clear, it's emphasizing on filial piety. Stereotypes or not, it was simply an ad created with the mindset to remind people of the gratitude we should have towards our parents. Why are there such ignorant people who can't stop picking out flaws of this video? Personally I think this is an extremely well-done & touching ad
OMG! Why is people debating over this video. Filial Piety, plain and simple. You must be a retarded not to realize this. I am touched by this video, seriously.
Only in Hong Kong, Black & White TV drama days people ran in the rain to hospital. Singapore family never happened before. if don't believed ask your parent. Were they 1st wife & 2nd wife situation?
I think it's sad that people need to be taught how to treat their parents well. That's the result of elitism and kiasuism! Soemthing is not quite right here. i have personally seen parents who are scared of their high achieveing children and treat them like gods! In case you missed it, do you notice that the filial son is a blue collar worker? Maybe should feature the CEOs and scholar class (and their equvalent) in this ad! Talk about role modelling!
After seeing this, i realise that how great our parents have fork out for us, with their undying love. Mum and Dad i will always love you no matter what happens. =]
All i could do is to let them rest in peace,grandma i wished your here with me along and keep me accompany.Even though i knew this day will come,i will still make use o everyday to let my loved ones last.Lastly,i have been a ignorant and defiant child so far as i always create troubles for my family.i had regretted all those misery deeds that i have done and i wished the time could travelled back.
If u were given another chance,will u still do the same as u have done now?
Did you guys know that this ad campaign cost S$1.6M to make? Now can you imagine instead of making this ad, the same money was directed to helping the poor elderly folks looking for empty drink cans and scrap cardboard boxes? Of course, not that it'll matter since there's absolutely nothing wrong with promoting misleading harmful stereotypes of the elderly and daughters-in-laws.
@Defennder A fishing lesson costs $500; a fish costs $5, I would pay $500 for a fishing lesson and fish for myself everyday. Maybe u will buy a fish everyday rather than picking up the fishing lesson.
$1.6Mil sure could help many people for once, twice or maybe more, but it won't help them a lifetime. This ad at least, influence thousands and will make them understands filial for a lifetime.
@repivonex WOW, so you think this ad could impart lasting lessons to the population and will not simply vanish and become forgotten just like the previous hundreds of many such social engineering ads. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. The touching "Funeral" ad, also broadcasted by MCYS has completely FAILED to make any impact on marriage rates in Singapore judging by the further decline this year. $1.6M won't last forever, but it'll actually have an impact, compared to this.
@repivonex Check out your statistics before making a completely unfounded claim like that. Singapore has been running tons of pro-family, pro-marriage campaigns since the late 1990s at least. Despite all the campaign efforts, divorce rates have been rising while marriages have been declining over the past 10 years. So much for "fishing for a lifetime".
@Defennder "Now can you imagine instead of making this ad, the same money was directed to helping the poor elderly folks looking for empty drink cans and scrap cardboard boxes?"
————————————————————————
Yeah, u would use the $1.6mil to help elderly folks who collect carboard, giving them better homes. I would use the $1.6mil to prevent more elderly folks from becoming those whom their family deserted them thus they are collecting cardboard.
The same ministry which produced this ad has refused to do any thing more to aid elderly folks collecting drink cans and cardboard boxes. All this folks don't qualify for the Public Assistance scheme, because it's only applicable to old folks who can't work and collecting drink cans apparent does count as work. The hypocrisy is astounding.
@Defennder I don't see any relations with statistic in this matter. Ever since Sex education started in Singapore, the rate of underage pregnancy increased every year, so do u imply that Sex education is a total failure and should be aborted by the government immediately? How would u know that the marriage rate would not have been much worse without the marriage campaigns u mentioned? I would suggest that the declining would have been more serious without those campagins.
@repivonex Well, not can you only not prove that the campaign have worked, you've suggested with zero evidence marriage rates would have been worse without it. The decline in marriage rates was present from 2008 to 2009, that single year where the ad was supposed to make a difference. And it's clear that a 3 min ad campaign on the air waves is very different from a detailed sex education syllabus every secondary school student has to study for.
All I could think of after watching this short film is to be filial. There's really nothing much to debate about. It has really knocked some sense into me. :)

Did you guys know that this ad campaign cost S$1.6M to make? Now can you imagine instead of making this ad, the same money was directed to helping the poor elderly folks looking for empty drink cans and scrap cardboard boxes? Of course, not that it'll matter since there's absolutely nothing wrong with promoting misleading harmful stereotypes of the elderly and daughters-in-laws.

@Defennder A fishing lesson costs $500; a fish costs $5, I would pay $500 for a fishing lesson and fish for myself everyday. Maybe u will buy a fish everyday rather than picking up the fishing lesson.
$1.6Mil sure could help many people for once, twice or maybe more, but it won't help them a lifetime. This ad at least, influence thousands and will make them understands filial for a lifetime.

@repivonex WOW, so you think this ad could impart lasting lessons to the population and will not simply vanish and become forgotten just like the previous hundreds of many such social engineering ads. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. The touching "Funeral" ad, also broadcasted by MCYS has completely FAILED to make any impact on marriage rates in Singapore judging by the further decline this year. $1.6M won't last forever, but it'll actually have an impact, compared to this.

@repivonex Check out your statistics before making a completely unfounded claim like that. Singapore has been running tons of pro-family, pro-marriage campaigns since the late 1990s at least. Despite all the campaign efforts, divorce rates have been rising while marriages have been declining over the past 10 years. So much for "fishing for a lifetime".

Yeah, u would use the $1.6mil to help elderly folks who collect carboard, giving them better homes. I would use the $1.6mil to prevent more elderly folks from becoming those whom their family deserted them thus they are collecting cardboard.

The same ministry which produced this ad has refused to do any thing more to aid elderly folks collecting drink cans and cardboard boxes. All this folks don't qualify for the Public Assistance scheme, because it's only applicable to old folks who can't work and collecting drink cans apparent does count as work. The hypocrisy is astounding.

@Defennder I don't see any relations with statistic in this matter. Ever since Sex education started in Singapore, the rate of underage pregnancy increased every year, so do u imply that Sex education is a total failure and should be aborted by the government immediately? How would u know that the marriage rate would not have been much worse without the marriage campaigns u mentioned? I would suggest that the declining would have been more serious without those campagins.

@repivonex Well, not can you only not prove that the campaign have worked, you've suggested with zero evidence marriage rates would have been worse without it. The decline in marriage rates was present from 2008 to 2009, that single year where the ad was supposed to make a difference. And it's clear that a 3 min ad campaign on the air waves is very different from a detailed sex education syllabus every secondary school student has to study for.

Hi Defennder, I don't mean that all old people are of unsound mine; I mean that this could be the case in the video.

All I could think of after watching this short film is to be filial. There's really nothing much to debate about. It has really knocked some sense into me. :)
