What NOT to do for your company's television commercial that will be shown on a regional business news channel
- Produce it as a customer testimonial, featuring an unsmiling (albeit satisfied) customer with a deadpan expression and speaking with a strong Singaporean accent that requires the use of English subtitles (thereby embarrassing said customer as a consequence)
- (Not shown here but seen from time to time) Feature your Japanese big boss introducing the company's products and services, speaking in English with an impenetrable Japanese accent that requires the use of English subtitles (thereby embarrassing said boss as a consequence)

i just saw this ad for the first time tonight when i surfed to CH 5 in sgp. i fainted. and the ad was the butt of jokes at the dining table for the next 10min.
eh. wait! i think it was on cnbc! in between David Letterman show's ad breaks!
In between Jay Leno ad breaks !
Some time ago, the ads featured another customer, an equally charming gentleman from the National Parks Board.
These are those times when you think, "Why couldn't they find an ang-moh to do the talking ?"
