Colin Goh

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Colin Goh is a Singaporean film maker, satirist and cartoonist.

Goh first rose to prominence with his comic strip, The Concrete Jungle, which appeared on a regular basis in the Singapore tabloid, The New Paper. He went on to set up talkingcock.com, a website which poked fun at the various idiosyncratic aspects of what it meant to be a Singaporean. The site's copious use of Singlish and occasional digs at the bureaucracies made it a popular one.

Together with his wife, Woo Yen Yen, they made their first full-feature film, Talking Cock. They won the Montblanc award for best new screenwriters at the 54th San Sebastian International Film Festival for their second film Singapore Dreaming.
