Chapter Four quickly became a crowd favourite, opening with a film about four families and their dinner preparations at home. The stage was transformed into a pasar malam – a night market – of the 1960s, a regular after-dinner haunt for Singaporeans back in the day. The segment’s film featured Singaporeans like Geraldine Lee and Ronita Paul, who jointly run a daycare centre for children with critical illnesses, and Devanantthan Tamilselvii, who co-founded non-profit organisation Mental ACT after losing a close friend to suicide.
The show’s creative director, Mr Brian Gothong Tan, had said that each chapter of the performance was designed to captivate and uplift.
