What happens

Talking Cock the Movie is a Singapore film released in May 2002. It is the brainchild of Colin Goh, founder of Singaporean website, TalkingCock.com, which satirises local current affairs and politics, highlighting the importance of supporting free speech in Singapore. The film includes the use of Malay, Tamil, various Chinese dialects, as well as the unique blend of vernacular English called Singlish. The film was completely subtitled in English.
