An 
company.
It's still considered as one of the best runaway success from local director Jack Neo because comparing to his later works, it's still among the tops in terms of local box office earnings for local mainstream films.
Maybe not all can understand the rationale behind the making of this comedy given some of the slangs used are not known to the outside world, especially with the westerners. But at times really, I don't know at times what those American TV shows are all about from what our local TV are showing. Fair and square. It doesn't mean the entire world can understand your own personal slang and kind of language because everyone is brought up differently.
And so I can understand if there's anyone outside of Singapore who does not really understand much of the plot, it's kind of forgivable. Though maybe the born and bred Singaporean in me will be shaking her head that the outside world do not get it. It's a personal thing.
Singaporeans' sort-of 'obsession' with not enough money in our pockets is shown through an office worker, a contractor, and a coffee-shop helper. Singaporean style of humour aside, but when reality sets in, who likes it anyway? I remembered I had a good time watching it when it was at the cinemas then. But then maybe at times watching some of those so-Singaporean parodies being played out at screen is a little weird and at times, funny. Kudos to director Jack Neo for doing all that.
