They should change the title to "GECKO".

I wonder if there's a swimsuit scene in the propaganda play? Maybe too risky and the local arty-farties don't want to lose their grant? :biggrin:

She was the wife of one prime minister in Singapore, and the mother of another. Now, the life story of Kwa Geok Choo will be told in Toy Factory Productions’ eponymous monologue performed by Tan Rui Shan, a local actress and choreographer.

Written by award-winning author and playwright Ovidia Yu, the 90-minute production follows Kwa from her early life as a young girl, tracing her journey to becoming a top lawyer in Singapore, her secret marriage to the late Mr Lee Kuan Yew, and becoming a political wife and mother, as well as the family’s main breadwinner.

The 30-year-old Tan, the actress who plays her, has been in local stage productions such as The Amazing Celestial Race and Forbidden City: Portrait Of An Empress.

“She surprised me – she’s so much like Kwa Geok Choo when we first meet her on stage,” said Yu during a press conference on Tuesday (May 17). “She’s sort of young and inexperienced in the world, and yet, quite confident, full of courage once she’s committed to something she believes in."

“A lot of people who remember Kwa Geok Choo talked about her girlish laughter, her love for jokes and flowers. This actress (Tan) seems to bring that side (of Kwa), together with the steely confidence,” Yu added.

Said director Goh Boon Teck, of the casting process: “(It) was very difficult – everyone has an imagination on what this actress should be like … We need someone who’s open, free-spirited and energetic; someone who’s physically and mentally strong.”

Goh, who is the chief artistic director of Toy Factory Productions, is himself known for Titoudao, a play based on the life of his mother Madam Oon Ah Chiam. The play made its foray into television in 2020.

The actress boobs on the small side. It denigrates the person she impersonates.

She and LKY cornered HDB conveyancing market and I cannot imagine how many billions.........

But...there is no corruption in SG.

If you know of any PAP politician who is corrupt, please inform your nearest RC and the CPIB. They will investigate the case without fear nor favour.

The children of the Lee Family are all smart and talented. One became BG and Prime Minister, another became BG, CEO and unofficial moral authority of the oppies, and the last was a gifted doctor.

Bookworm and hardcore tuition kids. Hey Tannie, during our time we don't have hard photo copies of the school lessons like today. All the classroom lesson was to copy down what the teacher wrote the lessons on the blackboard. Sad.

There were no verbal teaching lessons, just copy down notes.

There are no talents and smart kids in that time. No one knows what the fuck was teaching in the lesson.

A BG? More like given free to get more pay, double dip salary.... wtf.... what do these 2 shit boys knows about war when SAF was only just started in 1967. They entered NSF in 1970 and what shit was SAF then... Lead by goons and idiots.... wayang BG title holders so that they are at the top of the food chain and cannot be bullied lah....

Fuck LKY the bastard corrupt man...
