Reception edit

Tay Yek Keak of The Straits Times gave the film four stars out of five, calling it "a surprisingly good part-documentary, part-film piece of work that starts out looking like an indictment of Singapore's artless soul but ends up harbouring the sad story of a man living on the margin of society."[5]
