PHUA CHU KANG OVERVIEW

Phua Chu Kang is a Singapore sitcom that was highly received for the past years. It is a relatively exaggerated but related to the everyday lives of the average Singaporeans especially in the home setting. Many feels that it is a good representation of Singapore while some doubt so. In our point of view, our group feels that PCK used to be a relatively good representation of Singapore in the past. However, as globalisation is as always so fast-paced, the similarity of PCK in reflecting the average Singaporean lives has decreased. In this blog, we hope to be able to analyse PCK in terms of the characters which portrays some typical roles in Singapore, and in terms of some of the episodes that are highly reflective of our culture.
