514 Chai Chee Lane 03-16, Singapore 469029 Instead of celebrating the crown jewel of the F1 calendar, hundreds of Singaporeans chose to celebrate the movie event of the year in Johor Bahru yesterday (Sept.19, 2014).
Tan Pin Pin's To Singapore With Love was earlier banned or in MDA parlance: “Not Allowed for All Ratings” because the contents of the film "undermined national security". The documentary features interviews with exiled political activists who fled Singapore in the 60s and 70s.
