  1. Riz likes gals very much… The only guy present was allowed to talk after close to 10 mins and was asked on some low-level questions, and after that he refused to talk to him anymore, and keep teasing the gals thereafter. Wahaha…

    On a serious note, no Chinese lady.

    You go Girl! kekekekeke

  4. No offense, how come no Chinese gal or Indian? Also I hardly hear the guy speak, only at 12:30min for like 15 secs! LOL!

    Also the responses seems muted as if they are being cautious with what they are trying to say.

    I’d suggest this show producer/host should take a glimpse of FOCUS in Australia and listen to how they conduct it. Also FOCUS gathers both the extreme groups and also neutral and indirectly related parties. So the viewers get to see the alternative opinions of the different groups.

    Eg. Porn. The FOCUS show got together parents, teachers, students, teens, counsellors, and saucy magazine editors, etc. The host played more as a facilitator.

    Also all these students see multi-racial society as a strong point. Actually a lot of cities are now multi-racial. They seem to think Singapore is so unique to have different races living together. Visit Sydney or Melbourne. You’ll be surprised that there are more races in that state than in Singapore.
