Only 1 Singaporean turned up with something to say to Barrack Obama for a movie project, an NSF on his way to Harvard (rolls eyes).

Evidently the woman had advertised on FM 95.8 and Lianhe Zaobao. Yeah, that’s a real good way to reach out to an audience that’s interested in US politics. I wonder if she bothered trying The Temasek Review or The Online CitizenYoung PAP website. Or even Stomp!. I’ll bet there are plenty of people there who have something to say to Barrack Obama. But she probably didn’t want to rock the boat too much by politicising the event. So now the reporter is complaining that the fault lies with apathetic Singaporeans.

In the end, they got 8 responses–the sole volunteer, the “filmmaker” herself, the reporter covering the event, and 5 passers-by. Smells like a failed school project to me. The movie for which this is being produced, www.myamericathemovie.com, is supposedly to explores the United States’ global role in the 21st Century and our own individual responsibilities towards making the world a better and safer place..

I can’t wait to see what the Iranians have to say.
