Jack Neo. just watch his latest movie and you'll be inflicted with more conflated familial--patriotic guilt than if you were tied to the chair and made to watch a dozen replays of the national day parade. i don't particularly have anything against Neo (other than his bad movies), but since you mentioned the N'day themes it just recalled me to the fact that our SM once commended him for being an honest "critic"... or something along those lines, during a national day speech. the whole national day fiasco is really just civil religion. and it works, unfortunately… i don’t think it’s a bad thing necessarily, but i don’t like how it conflates nation with political party and government…… something very sneaky and hypocritical about that.
