0340. first, phua chu kang, the infamous singaporean (and some even say batam) ah beng contractor in his yellow boots tickled the funny bones of primetime coach potatoes in the mid 90s.

then, he gave us the SARS song to remind us to take care of hygiene matters - to wash our hands regularly and not to spit everywhere we deemed fit.

and now... pck makes a comeback in a less than theatrical release as the public transport courtesy ambassador or something to teach my fellow countrymen the meaning of graciousness. there are pictures of him with speech bubbles going: "give up this seat to someone who needs it more than you... OR I'LL KICK YOUR PUNK ASS OUT THE BUS!" or "let me alight first YOU IRRITATING KIASU MRT GAN CHIONG SPIDER!"

wow. a signature tv character goes a looooong way. anyway, happy 13th anniversary pck! i sincerely hope the new series "phua chu kang sdn bhd" can take our dear neighbour by storm as well.

ps: the speech bubble text has undergone a slight degree of cosmetic enhancement. reader disgression is advised.
