The Chinese-educated in Singapore in the 70s: Swept up in the winds of change
Singaporean writer Low Pooi Fong leaves watching Kelvin Tong's film Year of No Significance rather disappointed - a film that was to have given voice to the Chinese-educated in Singapore in the late 1970s was not true enough to life. For audiences who were among the Chinese-educated in Singapore or who knew of those who led those lives, perhaps the story was just not hard-hitting enough. Might it take another film for this wealth of material to be mined as it deserves?
