Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe flight number was Oceanic 815. This is the same flight name as the plane that crashes in Lost (2004).
- GoofsThe episode depicts a poor image of the city state of Singapore. The opening image looks nothing like Singapore - there are no prominent hills, no major slums, there should be many high rise buildings. Singapore means the "Lion City", not Where there is a sea, there are pirates". Characters mispronounce Singaporean names. Changi Airport, one of the cleanest globally, looks nothing as depicted. Singapore was not exactly built from a fishing village, nor is it fully of poverty. Conversely, it industrialised well, is ultra rich though there is inequality. Geylang is not a hub for trafficking and its image looks more like Bedok. Hawkers hardly cook on the streets which is illegal and the police is called the SPF not PD. Furthermore, there are no Malays and Indians or Eurasians and the SPF officer does not speak like a Singaporean. SPF officers also communicate in English not Chinese. The whole cast were not filmed on site in Singapore.

Featured review
This is not Singapore
I am a Singaporean, so I am more than qualify to disqualify some of the wrong ideas in this episode regarding Singapore.
1. Singapore is the most advanced country in this region, so the 60s low-rise buildings with illegal hawkers in the street selling food is but only in the 60s and are almost all gone. The low-rise buildings are mainly reservation for tourist attraction purpose. Street hawkers have been totally eradicated.
2. The Arowana fish is not extinct. Those extracted species once have not been around for thousands if not millions of years. The young Arawana the episode mentioned is sold like S$25 for one, not a million dollars.
4. Singapore is a well-educated country and authorities do not speak often in Chinese especially not in an official situation. We do speak English well but we are mainly UK based type of English.
5. In the episode, we keep seeing only Chinese in public areas. Those who have really been in Singapore knows that you can see at least the main 3 races very often publicly.
6. The whole talk about the Ministry of Manpower dumping foreign workers into Geylang's dormitory is hilarious. Though Geylang prostitution is still pretty real, the gangsters have been gone for decades.
7. We are not a police state, our investigation officers or inspectors do wear plain clothes while conducting an investigation like the IRT agents.
8. Michael Faye was guilty of vandalism and thief. The same punishment is applicable for everyone, not just foreigners.
9. Chewing gum is not illegal but the possession of large quantity.
Please get your facts straight.
