SINGAPORE – What do Grandma Version 2.0, the hit 2015 Indian movie Baahubali and a community centre have in common? Deepavali, of course.
They feature in three videos by government agencies celebrating the Festival of Lights that have been making the rounds online after they were posted last week.
One of the clips was shared by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong on Facebook on Monday (Oct 21) and by Minister for Communications and Information S. Iswaran on Thursday.
Two of the videos pay homage to popular Indian films while highlighting government schemes in a light-hearted way.
One of them, titled A Royal Conundrum, was posted on the Gov.sg Facebook page last Wednesday, and depicts a king in a palace becoming agitated as he is informed that another king has “poked” him on Facebook.
“So he wants our friendship eh? Let’s poke him back,” the king says, before his wife advises him to give the other king cake instead.
“But our royal kitchen only has the Grandma who makes vadai,” the king replies, referring to the Indian fried snack.
