Yellow Ribbon Project
12:38 AM

Sure you have heard about the yellow ribbon project via commercials on tv, bus ads and public transport.

Now it's coming to you from the big screen by Director Jack Neo.

It's a more casual yet heartwarming show that you all should take a look.

LP and I went to the premier of 'One Last Chance' at GV Grand and we saw quite a number of celebratites there. LP called up 93.3FM and won the tickets by the way.

I saw, FANN WONG's ........ sister. Anyway back to the main point.

We waited at our seats for half an hour as it was free seatings first come first serve and we were getting rather bored, having browsed through everything in the goodie bags. And we wait and we wait and we wait...

We were expecting some commercials to come up or something. To our surprise the whole cast came into the hall and greeted us, inculding Jack Neo himself!

He came with a message.

"No matter if this show is nice or not, please get your friends and family to come and watch."

Income aside, there was something special he wanted to share.

"In the society, people who make mistakes are already punished, why should they be punished again when they go back to society? This will only force them to feel felt out in the society and go back to their own bad routes again. For the benefit of the society, please accept these people. You don't want them to repeat their sins again, and unforutantely they prey on you, do you?"

It is expectionally true.

When they are left jobless, homeless even. The only way they get shelter and food, and maybe some friends is only when they go back in there. Do they have a choice in society?

I believe that to a certain extend that their records will of course ring in employers mind. I myself would not hire an accountant that once was jailed for fraud. However if you are talking about barkery, cookery, much in the food industry, why should they not be given a chance?

The show was a 4/5, funny and yet touching. Loads of hokkien speaking in there, so you have to buck up before you go in there for the show.

Catch it in a theatre near you.

Tie a yellow ribbon on a bag or somewhere.

Acceptance is key.
