Inside the Women’s Prison by CNA Insider made it into the top 10 trending YouTube videos in Singapore. 

SINGAPORE: An exclusive look inside Singapore’s only women’s prison by CNA Insider has made it to the list of top 10 trending YouTube videos of 2018 for Singapore.

The video, titled Inside the Women’s Prison, made it to eighth spot on the list. Channel NewsAsia’s digital features team was given unprecedented access to film life behind bars for inmates at Institution A4, formerly known as Changi Women’s Prison.

The video has 817,000 views as of Thursday (Dec 6) and it marks CNA Insider’s first entry into the annual top ten trending videos list. 

“We are extremely grateful that audiences continue to seek out Channel NewsAsia’s content across digital platforms,” said Channel NewsAsia’s chief editor of Digital News Jaime Ho. “We are particularly encouraged by the growth in viewership across YouTube, as seen in the numbers who enjoyed CNA Insider’s exclusive look inside Singapore’s women’s prison.

“In months to come, we will roll out more original news and current affairs content on YouTube, and look forward to providing even more compelling content to all our subscribers.”

Singaporean singer JJ Lin’s performance of Our Love on Chinese reality TV show Sound of My Dream was the second top trending video.

Meanwhile, videos from local creators Night Owl Cinematics (NOC), Jianhao Tan and Naomi Neo took third, fifth and sixth place respectively. A Chinese New Year video from Mediacorp’s Channel 8 made the ninth, while the 10th spot went to Buzzfeed’s video on different breakfast types in Singapore.

“It is great to witness home-grown content and talents do exceptionally well in the list this year, and it proves that we are more than capable of creating great videos to engage audiences at home and around the region,” said Angeline Leow, head of communications at Google Singapore.

The two non-Singapore related videos that made the list were Portugal’s match against Spain during the 2018 World Cup (4th spot) and AsapSCIENCE’s solution to the Yanny and Laurel audio illusion (7th spot).
