About

The movie includes the use of Malay, Tamil, various Chinese dialects, as well as the unique blend of vernacular English called Singlish. The film was completely subtitled in English.

Wrong Number

It is about a young man who loses his mobile phone in a taxi, and the strange circumstances that ensue when he meets the person who has found it.

Steam

A hard rock band scrambles to find a substitute after losing their lead singer and has to educate him in the art of being cool.

Auntie Auntie Power

An office worker insults a tea-lady. Unbeknownst to him, the tea-lady has a network of friends, who she enlists to enact revenge. They taint the man's soup with laxatives, pour itching powder on his toilet-paper, and fine him for illegal parking before he can drive off.
