This commercial aired last night on Channel 8 during the 9 - 10pm time slot. If you're at the office now, make sure you have nothing on your plate for the next 90 seconds.
The commercial, titled For The Ones We Love, shows a groom making his wedding speech. He recounts how he met his wife, how perfect she is, and thanked his in-laws for bringing her up.
Anyone who has been through a wedding will know how touching this moment can be - until you hit the end of this commercial, of course:

So...
Here's what went through my mind as I watched the commercial:
Awww, boy meets girl and falls for her. Nice.
Filial, hardworking, and studious. Marrying her now!
Daughter of the Year award goes to her! Wait, is this going to be some insurance commercial where she's stricken with something and the insurance payout will ensure the financial well-being of her and her parents?
Congrats dude! Never let her go! Hmmm, maybe this is a bank commercial about securing the future for a young family.
Ok this has got to be a branding commercial for some bank or insurance company. Or at least some health product that you're supposed to buy to repay your parents.
Then comes the punchline:
HAR?!
What is the link between this video and the Government's information dissemination portal - www.gov.sg?
Well played Gov.sg, well played. The commercial did not make sense, but at least you got my attention and retention. But don't cheat my feelings too many times, ok? -_-"
