Capital Distributors Pte Ltd celebrates SG50 with 50 Local Families at exclusive “1965” Screening


The month of August is all about our nation's birthday and what better way to celebrate it then to watch a movie with your family. That was what Capital Distributors Pte Ltd set out to do.

They held a "Treasured Moments" Photo Journey competition where participants shared 3 photographs depicting their treasured moments with families and loved ones. 50 local families were selected for an exclusive screening of "1965" at Shaw Lido Theatres yesterday. Of the 170 entries received, it was interesting to note that there were submissions from a Singapore family with 4 generations, a golden jubilee couple and a participant whose grandfather knew Mr Lee Kuan Yew.

If you are wondering what products they distribute, it is the KDK electric fans you see below. The company is an advocate of family unity and supports community efforts which explains this campaign.



The winners of the competition also received limited edition Flashpay cards and KDK Box Fans. Look at them smiling away for the camera. Does it make you wonder when was the last time you caught a movie with your family?


KDK also produced a short film titled "KDK Fan Talk - Treasured Moments" to showcase family love that passes on from generation to generation. It was produced by MM2 Entertainment, the same production house behind "1965". Short and simple, it captures the essence of what the love of a family means to an elderly and is definitely heartwarming. Making for a good lead in to "1965", it is similar in the sense that it reminds us of the importance of family and how it is the basic building block of the nation. 

"1965" while familiar to everyone in terms of factual history had a well crafted storyline and the emotional scenes acted out by the actors when they faced the terrors of racial riots leave you helpless in your seats. It brought history out from the social studies textbooks we studied as kids into something realistic and identifiable to us. Definitely a good watch!

 1) During your entire time of Mr World Singapore 2022 from the time you auditioned till you won the title, tell us - what was the most overwhelming moment for you? Personally, as the grand final day drew nearer, and diet and water had to be stricter, it was hard trying to keep up with the nutrition portion as well as the rest and recovery portion. Aside from that, i was starting to feel a little more anxious that i should and a huge part of it was because i invited my mother to be part of the audience and i wanted the event to be memorable for her. But i guess everything was worth it in the end.  2) What was the prep process like? From the auditions all the way to the Grand Finals, i knew i had to step up as prior to the audition, i let myself go quite abit because of the fact that i was juggling between work and handling my 3 children. But i guess after the audition. i made a clear intent to give 100% to get ready for the grand finals and since then, i made more conscious de...

1) During your entire time of Mr World Singapore 2022 from the time you auditioned till you won the title, tell us - what was the most overwhelming moment for you? To be honest, it was when i saw my friend Stanley give the most touching proposal on coronation night. It really made me tear up seeing how emotional he got while on his knee 2) What was the prep process like? The prep process was pretty vigorous nearing towards the end, as there were many events to go for and practices to attend. Though vigorous, I felt that they were all enjoyable with the class of 2022 around. 3) Are there any nervous moments and stress factors during the competition and how did you deal with it? Yes definitely, Im always nervous whenever there is a Q&A segment as im afraid I’ll freeze up on stage or not be able to give a satisfactory answer. I guess how I dealt with it was to just let down my shoulders and enjoy the moment. Being relaxed and just being myself because that’s what people want to see! 4...
