Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe flight number was Oceanic 815. This is the same flight name as the plane that crashes in Lost (2004).
- GoofsThe episode depicts a poor image of the city state of Singapore. The opening image looks nothing like Singapore - there are no prominent hills, no major slums, there should be many high rise buildings. Singapore means the "Lion City", not Where there is a sea, there are pirates". Characters mispronounce Singaporean names. Changi Airport, one of the cleanest globally, looks nothing as depicted. Singapore was not exactly built from a fishing village, nor is it fully of poverty. Conversely, it industrialised well, is ultra rich though there is inequality. Geylang is not a hub for trafficking and its image looks more like Bedok. Hawkers hardly cook on the streets which is illegal and the police is called the SPF not PD. Furthermore, there are no Malays and Indians or Eurasians and the SPF officer does not speak like a Singaporean. SPF officers also communicate in English not Chinese. The whole cast were not filmed on site in Singapore.

Featured review
Disappointing at best
This was an episode of Beyond Borders that I was really excited for. I patiently waited and then dived into the moment I had a chance to... only to be heavily disappointed.
First of all, why have they made Singapore look like a run down part of China? Chinese isn't the only race in Singapore, there's at least three others that I know about. The proverb at the beginning is Greek, not Singapore. You're allowed to bring your own chewing gum to chew - it's illegal to import anything other than nicotine and dental gum.
As a marine biologist, I was heavily shocked to find such inaccurate information concerning the fish species they showed. Not extinct at all, considered slightly endangered but that's it. They aren't that expensive to buy - considering you can buy them in tropical fish stores.
There was so much about this that I was ready to love but... it was just done horrifically. This could have just been cleaned up by talking to one Native Singapore person and done so much better. This had potential, but wasted it, and it's severely put me off watching any more of the second series of Beyond Borders. Extremely disappointing.
