To Singapore with Love (2013)

Director: Pin Pin Tan
Writer: Pin Pin Tan
Stars: Swee Chai Ang, Sun Wing Chan, Mr. & Mrs Hee Kim Tan

In the 1960s and 1970s, Singaporeans, who were activists, student leaders or Communists were exiled from their country. Fifty years later, despite resettling in countries such as the United Kingdom, Malaysia and Thailand, it is clear that the diaspora still holds Singapore and the idea of returning home in their hearts and minds. TO SINGAPORE, WITH LOVE follows the exiled protagonists in the film, as they undertake a trip to Singapore’s closest neighbor, Malaysia, where they attend reunions, memorials and stay in a hotel that overlooks their homeland.
