Singapore Dreaming BANNED Trailer

This trailer from the new movie SINGAPORE DREAMING is banned from free to air TV and radio in Singapore for having too much Hokkien - possibly the most commonly spoken Chinese dialect in Singapore. The Singapore government is trying to get Singaporeans to stop speaking their own vernacular in favour of standard Mandarin and English.

George Yeo in the 90s starting the drastic reform in the censorship board. He should be credited for suppressing the art and creation in Singapore.

Come on! Mandarin is also a dialect from Northern China! SO WHY CAN'T WE SPEAK OUR OWN DIALECT?
