Too much censorship?? Kumar and Kheng Hua react to comments about Singapore Culture | HOLD UP! EP 5

[@londonberry2180]

I remember in Taipei, I heard a group of people speaking in a Singaporean accent. I remarked to my friend that those people are definitely Singaporeans. As I walked past them, one of them called my name - turns out that one of them was a secondary school friend of mine. The feeling of hearing a Singaporean accent overseas always makes me feel right at home.

[@p6h14]

Last sentence - Yes, esp when I'm feeling all alone overseas and a little homesick. No when I'm having great fun and don't feel like going back SG haha.

[@DeclanzWorld]

[@JCzzzzz]

2 genuine and smart Singaporeans. Please have them in your show more. I agree that Kumar is the reason why comedy can push boundaries now.

[@jonathanevans4511]

My Malay classmate went to London for 2 years and came back with AMERICAN accent. She was good at faking it until one day she got really pissed off at someone and started arguing in Singlish. 10 mins later, her fake accent came back and BOOM, it became a BRITISH accent.

[@CoolPandamon]

I love both of them! Great combo! Please bring them back again 😍😍😍

[@thisisscope]

Thank you for the love!! Glad you liked the episode (:

[@espreedupree]

Agree , please have them again

[@coffeefirstok]

This is so good. Can we have more of this duo? Love them!

[@ShiroxYume]

literally LOVE how they maintained their singaporean english & singlish throughout. no pretentious accent-faking omg love these two so much

[@ft4686]

The chemistry between these two is immaculate!!!!

[@gracenglw]

Spot on about Cringefest. Singaporeans who have the fake angmoh accents.

[@dannylamb456]

I've had absolute Singaporeans yell at me for my natural accent

[@whitecranelens]

If Kuma is the security guard or the driver, that calefare lead will become a main lead 😂🤣

[@jatpeace]

I recall when i was transiting in Dubai airport, waiting for my colleague. I saw this uncle sitting from afar, i can sense he is my fellow Singaporean mate. But just walk away cos stranger 😅 Couple of mins later as i sat at the phone charging area, the uncle walk towards to me n said " Hi are u a Singaporean?", and we laughed 😄 Uncle told me he could sense the Singaporean in me from afar too, and we both agreed there is somehow this connection that works like telepathy in us cos we share the same homeland 🥰 He ended the conversation with "come home soon after work!". Yes, Singapore is our home ❤

Calafare is a HK culture. It started from their film industry, for being an extra.

[@womenteteatete]

I'm thoroughly surprised they've made a boo boo out of it

[@violetlum9348]

Ya, this is a term used by Hong Kong.

[@Leo-gb1mo]

I been using this word since i was a kid 30+++ years ago not singlish meh

[@Trendnet18]

Do agree with a lot their points esp when it comes to spending beyond what Singaporeans can afford. Always want the latest console, game computer etc.

[@chantalmonique2353]

[@vennsim71]

Whenever I go overseas for sometime, I will come back and whack the local dishes for at least 2-3 days straight. And cai png will definitely be at least a lunch or dinner for each of the days, and with different side dishes… it’s like rebooting myself to get in touch back with the real life…

[@xzxzojkeymtzxzx7712]

Agreed, was most offended by that comment haha

[@expresssoh]

Good point on what Snglish is. It is more than Lor, Lah, Leh. If someone says it is, this show he doesn't understand Singapore culture. Love Singlish because it has rich culture.

[@samuelwong1596]

Exactly

[@alicetan1104]

Yah!! Exactly!! It means different thing when using the same word in different contexts

[@ariel3112]

Anything with Kumar is always a hit..! But seriously, living in Jerusalem and hearing Singaporean accent gets me so excited every single time.. I also totally agree on Singaporean having an accent after living in a country for a couple of years. I lived overseas for close to 15 years and I still sound like Singaporean minus the singlish but when I'm back in Singapore, my singlish returning. I have so many friends from all over the world that has lived overseas, non of them have changed to the country that they've reside in for over 30 - 40 years

[@biogenie]

my first video on this channel and all i can say is I am subscribing. great format. great to hear a broad array of topics discussed. thank you!

[@sgmei]

Yes, such a power combi. I've went to Kumar's comedy show twice and absolutely love it. Like Kumar said, the jokes touches everything about what that comment mentioned. Already saying what other people are saying, it's funny af.

[@momnas8861]

Kheng Hua is giving me 'Lucy Liu, Why women kill' vibe. Looking good.

SMART....that's the keyword when it comes yo censorship. Correct. You have to be tactful enough to know your boundaries. Not just bash anything we like. Seriously, who came up with these questions? White folks? But really...it's a breath of fresh air to see fellow Singaporeans on screen. Thank you, guys.

About Singapore culture. A HK taxi driver once told me the min a Chinese tourist open his mouth and talk he can tell which country he/she came from in Asia. For a Malaysian his Cantonese will have mix of Malay in it and a Singaporean there will be a mix of Hokkien, Malay and some that he does not even know. A Thai will speak like he is singing and an Indonesian Chinese will speak in Teochew or English.

[@jingjongjun]

Such good chemistry!! Loved this episode haha

When I see a long queue I immediately look for another shop or stall. I'm not prepared to line up for more than 10 minutes no matter what or how good. I have no patience, and mostly I don't want to make them look so good. Like 20 people in line and I am number 21. No way Jose

Both of them are the most seasonal artists in our generation. They knows best, they seen to have explore, expose, and experience more as being the pioneer of stage performance, good or bad or fake or real, they knows it best..

isn't the term calafare a term from the HK TV/film industry??

[@lhamconstantinemorales2581]

I’m one of your fans Kumar from Philippines….🇵🇭

[@hanssolos3699]

true story: in 2013 I was leading a group of charity fundraisers on a house to house visit. It was for a famous local charity organisation. We had authorization, licenses and police permits per legal requirements. That particular evening I happened to visit a corner unit in a hdb flat. The door was opened and I heard voices, like there was a gathering. A lady greeted me at the gate and she was kheng hua. When I introduced myself and our purpose of visit, kheng hua said she wasn't the owner of the unit and she sweetly called "kooms, kooms, someone here at the door". Moments later, 'kooms' appeared at the door with a towel wrapped around her head. It was kumar. I reintroduced myself and purpose of visit. Kooms was very rude and shoo'd me right away for "bothering them". I politely thank kooms and walked away. Interestingly, it was just a few days before, kooms was paid to host an evening gala by our charity organisation. I'm sure kooms knew me cos I was wearing our official charity uniform and my ID around my neck. Till today, I had never received an apology from kooms who was rude and hostile. One was not obligated to say yes to us when we visited. But as a famous local celeb, that rudeness was unbecoming. I will never forget that uneventful evening. I have met many local celebs during our charity home visits and they were all lovely and kind. Eventhough some did not support, they were all very welcoming, offered us drinks, snacks and nice chit chats. But with both kheng hua and kooms, they were most hostile and treated me like I was a criminal at their door. Such painful experience.

[@Akira-888]

If what you shared were absolutely true, then they confirmed that they are humans too and do have their dark sides like everyone else. But, as in all cases, it's your side and everything everywhere all at once must factor into the root cause of their behaviors. You caught them at bad timing, them busy, tired, frustrated under hot weather, sorting out personal matters...or do u have any bad history already with them or misunderstandings not resolved? U could have had reached out to them then to clarify or seek closure instead of carrying this hurt since 2013. Nothing is worth being a prisoner for regardless the cause. Get a new perspective and be happy before the world won't let u. Blessed be! Sayo. 🙏😇👍🌹

[@SuccessforLifester]

Celebrities cannot be seen queuing. But they are given freebies to attend events and concerts for marketing purposes. Not as if they don't want freebies.

[@marythomas8898]

Not true I have seen some queuing up to buy food at hawker centres. They so low key till you really take notice. ChenLiPing got badgered when she wanted to buy snacks at Tiong Bahru Pau @Tpy! She was with her mom & kid?! Sometimes people badger them when all they want is the normal experience, some personal space & time. "Damn if they do, damn if the do!" Typical Singaporean reaction lor

I used it on my Indian friends, even colleagues from India and they loved it. Or why do u worry about going under the sun, u can’t get darker anymore. 😬

The context matters I guess. If he says it, funny. If you say it as someone from another race, maybe not as funny from the POV of an Indian listener.

[@SuccessforLifester]

@@pr9166 I wasnt saying it as a joke. It was a comment relating this joke I heard. The Indian national initially scolded me for calling local Indians as Indians. He said they are no longer from India and shouldn't be called Indians

Good attempt at trying. Behaviour is shaped by policy, especially in Singapore. One only has to sit for a minute and look back at the years. Kumar and Tan is a product of policy and therefore, with standards at the fringes.
