Title: Singapore game shows
Post by: ChuckNet on February 16, 2004, 10:29:14 PM

How many English-language Singapore game shows are there right now? I know they've got versions of WL and WoF...any others? Also, anyone out there w/any Singapore GS eps in their collection?

I know for a while they had "Who Wants to be a Millionaire ?" in English, hosted by someone known as "The Flying Dutchman" (AKA: Max Von Cluyberg). A well-known Radio DJ in Singapore. (And even had a low-tier question about it and the contestant had to use a lifeline as she never listened to his show, "breaking" FD's heart)

This version is infamous for having players stop with just $300 and $500 (Same prize tree as our classic/current syndie version)

Here is a (no-longer updatd in years) fanpage to the show:

I was a frequent vistor to the site and the guy who ran it even put a (positive) comment I said about the show in big letters on the top !

I might be way off here, but I'm fairly sure Singapore had an English language Pyramid recently (didn't it have a really blatent sponsorship by McDonalds or something?).
