In July 2014, the National University of Singapore (NUS) Museum and Cultural Studies Research Cluster, Asia Research Institute, NUS, along with the filmmaker, Tan Pin Pin, submitted the hour-long documentary film To Singapore with Love (2014) for censorship clearance. The film was to be included in a two-day screening of three of Tan's films. After two months of waiting, the Censorship Board gave its decision. On 10 September 2014, the film was denied a classification or rating (Not Allowed for All Ratings, NAR), which effectively means that it cannot be commercially released. The film in question documents the film-maker's interviews with nine Singaporeans in exile: Six are aging ex-members of the Malayan Communist Party (MCP) who are disallowed a return to Singapore and currently reside in Thailand and Malaysia. The other three are self-exiled under different circumstances. Ho Juan Thai, expecting to be detained without trial under the Internal Security Act (ISA), amended the expiry date on his passport in order to get out of the country; medical surgeon Dr. Ang Swee Chai, who joined her husband the late Francis Khoo in self-exile (as Khoo faced imminent detention without trial as a political dissident); and Tan Wah Piow, who, after being released from jail for student activism, went into exile to avoid conscription into the national military service in the expectation that he would be ‘ill-treated.’ The three left Singapore at different times in the 1970s and 1980s and currently reside in London. The interviews cover primarily their current lives; less is mentioned of the activities that led to their voluntary or involuntary exile, although the ex-communists showed photos of themselves in army fatigues.
