    Sing along to the MDA Senior Management Rap: http://www.mda.gov.sg/wms.www/video.htm



    Oh gods. My eyes. And ears.

    It's so bad, it's not even good.


    A car on fire is a very appropriate metaphor for this video.

    If this is what "Singapore-made content to be number one" means, I'll rather survive on Malaysian imports.

    (From Tym)


    Selected Full lyrics:

    Chorus
    Yes, yes y'all
    We don't stop
    Get creative, can do, rock on!

    Yes, yes y'all
    We don't stop
    Get connected worldwide, rock on!

    (Repeat above 2 stanzas)

    Dr Christopher Chia
    Chief Exective Officer

    They call me CEO, hear me out everyone
    My aim, a vibrant media hub for the city
    Singapore-made content to be number one
    Media choice and jobs for everybody

    Michael Yap
    Deputy Chief Exective Officer

    I'm the man for this IDM R&D
    Experimentation is my cup of tea
    Flagship 2B for the world's stage

    Amy Chua
    Director
    Media Content

    We classify media to give you a choice
    We consult the community to give you a voice
    And the industry has a part to play
    To make our media city as bright as day

    [Ed: This is probably the least-bad part of the video. The enunciation is clear, the lines are not *too* packed (and even flow somewhat) and delivery is lyrical even if not rap-like, in contradistinction to the other bits. Strikethroughs comes from a non-congruence of the subtitles and rapped lyrics.]

    Heng Li Lang
    Acting Director
    Strategic Planning Group

    Chorus

    Pam Hu

    We'll be consolidating data and building
    A service oriented architecture

    Ling Pek Ling
    Director
    Media Policy

    Keep your channels open, HD's the new TV

    My job's to review the MMCC (Media Market Conduct Code)
    My very big 'yes' to industry growth

    Man Shu Sum
    Director
    Broadcast & Film Development

    Hold up please, they call me 'The Man'

    Film and TV, so tell me what's next
    Singapore content, on an international stage

    Chorus

    Musical interlude

    [Ed: Isn't Channel X that robotic voice anti-PAP YouTube channel?]

    Chorus till your brain explodes



    Check out Da Bling. Not.

    *facepalm*
    I want my tax money back!


    Update: The video has been mirrored on YouTube:



    There's only 1 redeeming feature of the video. And even Power Rangers has better CGI than this. I'd rather watch 2girls1cup (NSFW) than this.

    At least they told us that we can holler at them 24/7, so what are you waiting for?! Go film reaction videos like this one (SFW) for 2girls1finger!
