Singapore’s leading media entertainment and content company MM2 Entertainment Singapore is delighted to announce the release dates for a slate of Singapore films for 2020 and 2021.

“We are extremely excited to share this slate of Singapore-made movies, including the first local film to release in 2020. It has not been a good year for Singapore moviegoers, with the pandemic causing havoc to the releases to Hollywood and Asian movies. Every year there is a steady stream of new Singapore movies released in cinemas. This year, however, due to the pandemic and the circuit breaker, there has not been any local releases to date. We are therefore proud to be releasing this slate of Singapore films, for Singaporeans,” says Mr Ng Say Yong, Chief Content Officer of mm2 Asia.

“These films are uplifting stories that are certain to entertain moviegoers, and very relevant to our times. It is especially important in this time when we need to be socially distant, that we are still able to connect with the community through the shared cinematic experience. Laughing together, crying together - the group effect of watching a film together in a theatre: that is what cannot be replicated at home or on a mobile screen,” he continues.

Number 1 will be the first Singapore film to be released in 2020. The film portrays a man who gets retrenched and must take on an unorthodox job as a means of survival. The movie will resonate with moviegoers, in this current climate where the local jobless rate is the highest in more than a decade. Local funnyman Mark Lee delivers a career-defining performance in the challenging role of the film’s lead; and has been nominated for top acting honours at this year’s Golden Horse Awards in November.

Additionally, mm2 has announced an exciting slate of local films scheduled for release up to June 2021. The list of films includes comedies, dramas, horrors and thrillers - offering a wide variety of cinematic options guaranteed to please even the most discerning movie lover. Included in the list are Jack Neo’s The Diam Diam Era 1 & 2 slated for the year-end school holidays and Chinese New Year respectively, as well as Mark Lee’s directorial debut Running Ghost.

《當心被鬼吃了》
Don't Get Eaten By The Ghosts!
(English version below)

時至今日，談鬼依然使人色變。多年前、吾收了一位對玄學及鬼神，又喜歡又害怕的美麗女子為徒。偶爾談起「無形」時，她會緊張地問吾，那裡有無「無形」？現在想起，是有點好笑。好笑於她那時的表情，與「無知」的迷糊。鬼神當然是「無形」的一類，若無結界，任何人的住宅，祂們都可以通行無阻。因此，妳你們的住處，肯定有鬼！

鬼神是佈滿十方法界的，鬼類和人類是沒有多大分別的。唯一的分別是，鬼類已脫離了肉身，而人類還未脫離肉身。鬼類屬低級靈，只要一個咒語、一個想念，就能攝招祂們來。就因如此，那些常圖非份的人，鋌而走險的請鬼、養鬼，好逸惡勞的想要不勞而獲。或許這些「歹徒」並不十分清楚，她他們所請所養的鬼，是和她他們一樣，貪念甚重的，且法力也會增長，會有不受約束的一天。若法力與符力不夠，她他們會被反噬。

過去吾是有幫人處理，被鬼類干擾之事。也曾有婦女欲請吾去其住宅捉鬼及收鬼。其實當時吾是有打算，去「會一會」她宅中的「小朋友」，可惜她接二連三的「做奸犯科」，更何況，她先生是請鬼的人，即不信也沒來請吾，此謂因緣不足也。夫婦倆的起心動念，倒是合了「鬼性」，是問吾如何捉得完，收得完。有可能她他們目前宅中的鬼，會幫她他阻止其他鬼進來也說不一定！哈 哈 哈！

鬼類與人類本來就有界限的。有如井水不犯河水。但因妳你用法術去攝招祂們來，從此祂們就一直跟著妳你。再加上妳你所差遣祂們去辦的事，皆屬惡行的話，妳你身上的鬼氣會越來越重，最終將輪迴的鬼處。拜師又叛師，起心動念皆不敬師、受人恩惠不圖報、貪得無厭、喜佔她他人便宜、辱罵佛菩薩神明，等等等，鬼就每天愛妳你多一些。日寫夜也寫，以文章的慧光照妳你們，希望妳你們正心正念，那就不用當心被鬼吃了。

⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯

Even till this modern age, the reaction when the word ghost is being brought up remains that of an ashen look on the face. Many years ago, I took in a beautiful lady, as my disciple. She has a deep fascination (and fear) of all things Metaphysics and spiritual. Whenever we spoke about the spirits, she would nervously ask me if there was any around her. It always amuses me whenever I recall those conversations with her. It was amusing because of her facial expressions and the look of ignorance. Of course, spirits are without any physical forms, and it is free access for them if no demarcation is done at a house. Therefore I am sure there are spirits in your house!

Spirits are everywhere in the ten realms of existence, and there is not much difference between us humans and the spirits. The only difference lies in their lack of physical form. These ghosts belong to a lower realm, and can be easily summoned by a mantra or a thought.

There are people with wayward intentions, who take the huge risk to summon the spirits and make offering to them, so that the spirits will do their bidding. Maybe they have no idea that the spirits they summoned are like them, with insatiable greed, as that they grow in strength.

These spirits will break free one day, if the powers of the owner and his talismans are unable to contain them. When that happens, the people who summoned them will get devoured instead.

In the past, I had dealt with cases of spiritual disturbance. One female client invited me to visit her house for some ghost-busting. I did have the initial intention to meet the "little friend" in her home, but changed my mind after knowing her bad doings. Her husband was the one who "invited" the ghost for his own gains, and he did not believe in me to invite me personally. Therefore, the affinity is weak.

The thoughts and intentions of this couple matches that of a spirit, so how could I succeed in driving the ghost out? Who knows, this ghost might be able to prevent other spirits from intruding their house! Ha ha ha!

There is a boundary between humans and spirits, just like the water in the well does not cross the path of the water on the river. However, if you summon a spirit via spiritual invocation, it will stick with you forever. The ghostly energy in you will only perpetuate if you command the spirit to help you in wrongdoings.

In the end upon your death, you will be reincarnated in the realm of ghosts. Behavior like disrespect and betrayal of your master, being ungrateful to your benefactors, insatiable greed, taking advantage of others, cursing at the gods and Buddhas, etc, will only make the spirits "love" you more! I write relentlessly day and night, so that the Light of Wisdom will shine on you and inspire righteous and wholesome intentions. Then you would not need to worry being "eaten" alive by the spirits.
