SINGAPORE - Some Singaporeans are planning to travel to Johor Baru to watch a little-known documentary film on Singapores political exiles, with one student organising a chartered bus service for the event. They were spurred into action by the Media Development Authoritys (MDA) decision to disallow public screenings of To Singapore, With Love here. The MDA said its contents undermine national security and classified it as Not Allowed for All Ratings. That means the film, by local filmmaker Tan Pin Pin, 44, cannot be shown in public or distributed here. Among those whose interest has been piqued by the MDAs action is sales manager Louis Khoo, 30: I didnt know about the film before MDA made its decision. And now that were told we cant watch it here, everyone wants to watch it. Ms Tans film is based on interviews with nine Singaporeans who fled the country and now live in Britain and Thailand. The film premiered at the Busan International Film Festival in South Korea last October, and has played in Berlin and the US.
