Production

The film continues the series in showcasing Singapore's multicultural society, and its history from its founding to becoming an advanced country.

The third and fourth film are set in the 1980s, and touch on politically sensitive topics, such as several major policy changes implemented in the era, opposition parties, and the details of 1980s general election and campaigning.[4]

Regarding the subject matter, Jack Neo states that: “Although the subject is sensitive, it is part of history. It should be viewed with a correct attitude. Singaporeans should understand the history of their own country. We are not trying to deliberately touch on sensitive subjects, instead we just do not want to hide what happened in history."[5]
