Interesting that they’re showing a Singaporean interracial couple; the Chinese, Malay and Indians there don’t generally mix easily. Good for them.
Now for realism, show a Chinese family pushing a Filipina maid out a high-rise window.

That was really good. I bet half of the people who watched that teared up.
And Alicia, thank you for bringing everyone back to the hateful side of the world after such a beautiful message.

Put me in the half that teared up. I then wondered whether this was too personal, or if y’all would like it, too.

There’s nothing I can say to improve upon the message itself, but I am happy that someone is delivering it.

Well Alicia, if it was to show reality in the U.S. it would have to show the woman divorcing her husband because of the noise, then having a very ugly custody war, loosing all their money to the divorce industry, and screwing up their kids heads.

Reminds me of my Mother’s funeral. I spoke of how she would call at the most inopportune times, and go on and on and on. And how I would look at the caller ID and realize I’m never getting off that call.
I ended by saying what I wouldn’t give to see that caller ID one more time…
I teared up, too.
Zaina
Oh my goodness, this was so beautiful 
I teared up a bit after the halfway point.

It would have be 100000x better and would have felt much more sincere without that corny music at the end…

Crash _171, I am sorry! I didn’t mean to offend. My remark was only partially cynical; notice I thought it was awesome that Singapore is stressing racial harmony. There’s lots of misery in the world and I was not making light of it.
In mentioning maid abuse I wasn’t slandering the mostly wonderful Chinese Singaporeans or any other group. However, I have lived in Singapore, and maid abuse is so serious a problem that my aside does not do it justice. Deaths do indeed occur, often as a result of maid being forced to clean the outside of windows in the ubiquitous high-rise apartments. Sometimes they are murdered. Not that this only happens in Singapore, of course, but it is rather ingrained there for a certain social stratum.

People…get a brain. I don’t think it’s real…it’s an advertisement or something. First of all there were about 4 different cameras at this “funeral”, and it was professionally done.
What real funeral has 3 or 4 cameras, and a script???
Please,

@jill – i think we were all tipped off by the phrase “a campaign from the National Family Council in Singapore.”

There are maids who abuse young, helpless toddlers/babies too in Singapore…
ted
Started to watch, got bored about 1/3 of the way through. Yeah, you miss your husband’s farts…
Toddler
Jill, hope you checked back. Urine idiot. If not for this forum, would you ever know? Hmmm…
Jenn
um, isn’t her speech a rip off from Good Will Hunting? Robin Williams says this same speech to Matt Damon in his office when he talks about his deceased wife….seriously people it’s not original.
