His perspective of Singaporereans from the various racial groups, their culture and their way of life. However, i have noticed that he dampens the mood of the show by talking about wat his Dad did (drinking, beating etc). The atmosphere of the show is charged, happy and gay, then he brings it down by talking about his Dad. We go home with mixed emotions. It is not that we are being insensitive, but to let the audience have a happy note when they leave. This is just my humble opinion. I always enjoy his shows.

I do believe some of us might’ve grown closer to him that evening. Some of us might’ve been scared for a bit, ironically. Great job there with the script,Ben. Eh, not used to it lah, seeing Kumar naked* for the first time. But you know what? I was moved by what I saw, and what makes it sweeter is the fact that he is every bit of a Singaporean as I am.
