1965 (2015)

1965 (2015). 1965: Directed by Randy Ang, Daniel Yun. With Yuwu Qi, Deanna Yusoff, Joanne Peh, James Seah. A dramatic look back at the Geylang Riots and the days of Konfrontasi when Singapore split from Malaya in 1965.

“For some reasons, I kinda like the film. Somehow I could connect with the tumultuous times my parents went thru, something I heard and read much about. I could also identify with how the different races communicated interchangeably in their own dialects and languages, something so uniquely Singapore.nThe riots scenes whether came across perfect or not, did not wipe away my imagination of how a small spark can set a fire burning. It is a sombre reminder of how the fabric of society depends on the magnanimity of every heart in every race, to preserve it. What our founding father has inculcated in Singapore about being a multi racial society should be embraced in our hearts for life, in the generations to come. We no longer look at each other from a different race but that we are Singaporeans first.”
