why ban?
It is a good show, who is the public to ask for ban?
-
What they do is true, what huang wenyong said is true also. pap or ministers need to feel the ground, this is what the truth the people are facing.

Must see who is this "public"?
The same public who wants to ban everything from the AF ad to HH?
-
"Bullshit"
So they want to ban the show cause of this ^?
-
They ban us cos the people on the ground are speaking the truths and they dont want the new foreign to get hurt!

Minister of State, Ministry of Trade and Industry and Ministry of National Development Lee Yi Shyan has commented that Channel 8 drama series are 'too shallow' after watching an episode of 'Love Thy Neighbour', a series that has drawn criticism for its negative portrayal of Singaporeans.
Mr Lee asked why the characters in Channel 8 dramas shout and fight so much. He also felt there is not enough communication between the characters and they fail to express themselves sufficiently.
In his post, he also said he felt the actors seem to express their feelings through crying and shouting rather than through their lines, which lack depth.
Mr Lee also said drama serials in countries like China have well-written lines which convey feelings and can touch audiences.
Only people who are unable to express themselves properly will resort to anger, he said. Well-written lines on television will provide children with good examples to follow and help them learn to communicate better, he added.
However, Xiang Yun said in an interview that many recent drama serials focus on the issues faced by common folk in Singapore, so they tend to have simpler lines. Perhaps that was why the minister felt that local drama serials lack depth.
A local playwright Hong Rong Di gave his take on the issue:: "If everyone speaks in learned tones, the drama will seem unrealistic." He also explained that Singapore's Chinese standards are not as high as that of China's, so simpler words are used in the script.
Previously, netizens had more things to say about the content of 'Love Thy Neighbour'. Those who had called for a ban said it was "teaching bad things to their kids", and portrays a negative image of Singaporeans.
The drama serial's debut episode apparently depicted a Singaporean household attempting to cheat their neighbours, a Malaysian couple living in Singapore. -
Ban it! why cut the felicia chin hair until so short?!

Seems this is first time he watched local drama to notice the shouting and fighting, these are around for donkey years. One day I realised why the actors and actresses shout and shout in dramas when I saw the hopeless Lin ming zhe the director giving them instructions to shout and shout when they were filiming in one of the heartlands. that is one of the reasons why I give up on mediacorpse dramas. Think they should sack this director, hopeless! Get in directors from Hong Kong.
Glad Mr Lee can see through the flaws. hur hur hur!

This is hypocrisy, channel 8 dramas are propaganda shows designed to push the PAP political line and brainwash Singaporeans. Don't try to evade responsibility.
Channel 8 drama writers should be ashamed of themselves for following the PAP propaganda line like dogs.

I don't blame them completely. They knows the ins and outs of Singaporeans. They know whatever they do to bring singaporeans down, majority of them will continue to give them the mandate every election.
PAP is overboard to bash Singaporeans. But the 60% of their supporters deserve this from them. Takes two hands to clap!
