#584 ft. Caitanya Tan - IMDA Bans Film on Censorship & Private-Hire Driver’s Savage Warning to Passengers

A Singaporean film about censorship, has been banned in Singapore by film censors. You can’t make this stuff up. We speak with actor and guest host Caitanya Tan about Daniel Hui’s film Small Hours of the Night, and what lines it could have crossed, because they’re not obvious. We also discuss the role that censors play in Singapore, and what exactly they protect Singaporeans from. Separately, a private-hire driver’s detailed written warning to his passengers has been circulating online. Paggro much? Or is he saying what’s already been on everyone’s minds?
