SINGAPORE - The Singapore Film Commission (SFC) said it supported the movie Crazy Rich Asians "in accordance with its mandate to grow our local media ecosystem and provide development opportunities for our media professionals".
The commission was responding to media queries after The Straits Times reported on Wednesday (Aug 22) that author Kevin Kwan, whose book inspired the movie, had defaulted on his national service obligations.
