The People’s Action Party’s youth wing video which received great youth attention over the last weekend has been cleared by the Media Development Authority (MDA) earlier in the year informed a local news channel. It does not fall under the category of political films which are banned in Singapore, an MDA spokesman informed The Straits Times this Wednesday.

The MDA spokesman further added that this is because the video does not have any animation or dramatic elements. The video is also made by a political party and comprises its manifesto and ideology, on the basis of which the party’s candidates will seek to be elected. Films fulfilling these criteria can be excluded from the ban on political films.

The viral video was titled “Re-ignite the Passion of Servant Leadership” and the video featured members from Young PAP branches all over the island. It was uploaded to the PeopleActionPartyHQ’s YouTube page this April 23rd and subsequently drew flak from netizens, who criticized the participants’ diction and the editing of the video. In response, the ruling party put out a post on its Facebook page this Wednesday in which it said: “We did not expect that our humble (raw and unpolished) in-house production would go viral like this. We are proud of our (Young PAP) folks, and what they have been doing on the ground; working hard to serve the people. Their effort was genuine and sincere.”
