MRT announcement in all 4 languages



A marketing assistant's ability to mimic public-service announcements in all four official languages, as delivered at MRT stations, has made her an overnight sensation on YouTube.

A video featuring 20-year-old Nurhafizah Hatman has garnered over 41,000 views by 9pm yesterday since it was posted on Sunday. It was re-posted on citizen-journalism website Stomp and shared on Facebook.

Her uncanny impersonation has even earned the kudos of rail operator SMRT, which said it might consider her for a job.

In the 47-second clip recorded last Sunday, a bespectacled Ms Nurhafizah, who was filmed by a colleague, says in English, Mandarin, Malay and Tamil: "Dear passengers, for your own safety, please stand behind the yellow line."

She prefaces her act with a tongue-in-cheek message to SMRT: "I think you should hire me as your train voice-over because you can save money: I'm one person, but I can do it in all four languages."

Ms Nurhafizah, who works at radio station Hot FM 91.3, told My Paper yesterday that she has been quite overwhelmed by the response.

"I'm just glad that I entertained people with it. I'm thankful I didn't have anything stuck in my teeth (when I did the video)," she quipped.

The bubbly Ms Nurhafizah said that she memorised the announcements six years ago when she was in secondary school. While she mastered the English, Mandarin and Malay versions easily, a friend helped her with the pronunciation for the line in Tamil.

Despite not having done the impersonations for a while, her colleagues asked her to do it for the camera recently.

One YouTube user said she displayed the "Singaporean Spirit", and another admitted to watching the video more than three times.

Ms Kalai Natarajan, SMRT's vice-president for corporate marketing and communications, said: "It's great knowing we have a fan like Ms Fizah. She's extremely talented. We really enjoyed her rendition of the announcements and we don't see why we shouldn't consider her for a job at SMRT."

However, not everyone is impressed. A netizen known as pcofmind said on Stomp that such renditions were child's play. He wrote: "I heard other children repeating the announcement... This is really nothing great."

Mr Gui Kai Chong, a National University of Singapore instructor at the Department of Communications and New Media, said that despite the video's seeming ordinariness, it possesses interesting features which helped it to go viral.

For one thing, Singaporeans can readily identify with what is being shown, as commuting by train and listening to the announcements is part and parcel of everyday life, he explained.

In the clip, Ms Nurhafizah also appears to be able to speak the four languages fluently.

He said: "Although we live in a multiracial and multilingual society, this does not happen so often, which is why...audiences might want to forward it to their friends on social media."

青年导演拍12分钟军营题材短片,竟被网民大赞赢过梁智强千万票房的《新兵正传》!

青年导演邱贤哲(26岁)前年拍摄的短片《Hentak Kaki》(马来文,意即“原地踏步”)不仅荣获第3届新加坡短片奖最佳表演、第24届新加坡国际电影节短片类最佳影片,还受邀远赴英国、非洲等地参展。

该短片是他在拉萨尔艺术学院普特南电影学院的毕业作品,从写剧本到拍摄完成共耗时10个月。

他受访时透露,由于学校提供器材及多方面的支持,因此制作费远比在外面低。

梁智强也赞短片拍得好。
