Hello guys!
Hello!
How well do you know Singapore?
Quite well.

6 out of 10.
My knowledge is pretty limited.
I don't even know when we get ...
Independence. 1980 ...
No!
1965!
Do you know what is an acronym?
It's like the short form.
Which is taken from the first letter of a few words.
For example, expressway - it would be like,
PIE, CTE, AYE. All these are acronyms.
LMAO.
Laugh my ass out. Laughing my ...
Yes.
Off!
Oh!
Not out.
So today,
we're going to be trying to guess some Singaporean acronyms.
Government agency.
The place where you get your immigration form.
I know the MRT station.

So clever.
When you go Malaysia, you go to this -
place before you leave the country.
No!

The exact name of it?
Immigration ...
Checkpoint authority?
International or identity ...
Association. Something agency.
Identity card agency.

I give up. I give up.
It's immigrations and checkpoints authority.
It's the mini version of a MRT.
Which is a train.
Grey colour line.

I'm going to say little mass rapid transport.
She guess four letters, I don't know why.

It's not rapid transit.
Mass rapid transit is the MRT.
Light rail transportation.
Lil!
Light rapid transport.
Oh my God! I said light just now.
Light.
No. Cannot be.
Easy.
It's an organisation.
Yah.

Associated to Fairprice, the supermarket.
But I think it's ... Got sell insurance one.
It's an organisation or something like that.
What does NTUC stand for?
National ...
Trade.
Union income.
Yes!
Confirm!
N - T - U - C!
National ...
I don't think everything is about National.
It's not always about Singapore.
But it's Singapore.
National team union centre.
Network.
Ok.

Network. T?
Maybe it's just 'the'.
T - H - E.
Union.
It's 'U'.
The 'C' word ...
In my mind right, is a tough word to guess.
Companion.
Network the union companion.
Yes!

That is her answer.
My answer is National Trades Union Congress.
Congress?!
What is congress?
Who uses the word congress now.
When you finish your NS (National service).
When you finish your two years of NS.
When guys get back their freedom.
Then you throw the hat.
Specifically must throw the hat.

Huh. Bomb then I bomb stupid stuff already.
Just go for it.

Official release date.
Every single word there is wrong.
Huh?!
Official ...
Release day. No! She already say it's not ...
Official and release.
ORD. Just -
Opportunities.
Ratio.
Date.
Official ...
He already said it's not official.
Operationally.
Ready.
That's all.
The ready is the 'D'.
Operationally ready date.
Oh! It's confirmed ah?
Is it like people who ...
Finish army already?
Like reservist lah.
Reservist men.
The elite of the SAF.
What does the SAF stand for?
Singapore armed forces.
Correct!
What does 'R' stand for?
Ready.
Ready Singapore armed forces.
Rea ...
Ridiculous!
I'm going to say like, Royal Singapore air force.
Republic o -
Oh ...
I know.
I think it's Republic of Singapore ...
Armed forces.
Then what's SAF?
Singapore armed forces.
Then why are there both?
It's Republic of Singapore Air Force, correct?
Your answer?
What was your CCA (Co-Curricular Activities) in secondary school?
I was in dance.
No. Like hip-hop dance.
Hockey.
Chinese dance. Eh! We're both from chinese dance.
Ready ...
5, 6, 7, 8!
1, 2, 3, 4,
5, 6, 7, 8.
Mine was NCC land (National Cadet Corps Land).
Mine was uniform group, Girls' Brigade.
You owe me 10!
Knock it down!
Baris sedia!
NPCC is a CCA.
That like trains you to pretend to be a police.
Eh. Don't like that lah.
People see - NPCC watching the ...
It's a ...
It's a CCA that exposes you.
What it's like to be in the police force.
Left, right, left. Wait.
Left, right -
No! It's like that.
Left, right.
No!
Left. Left. Left, right.
I don't know eh.
Then what do you think NPCC stand for?
National police cadet corps.
What does NPCC stand for?
National police cadet corps.
Corps.
C - O - R - P - S.
Not 'corps' (referring to the pronunciation).
It is a test you take in primary school.
And secondary school.
To ensure that you are fit.
You do PE (physical education).
And then you pass 6 stations, or 5 stations.
Eh. What was your NAPFA?
Last time ...
Different lah.
The benchmark to get the different grading was ...
Not that impossible.
I failed.
Physical education.
Oh! Physical?
Fitness!
No. That's 'E'.
That's 'E'. Sorry.
Under 'National' is 'NA'.
National association physical fitness award.
Same same.
I know what the last 'A' is.
National physical fitness assessment?
There's one wrong word.
Oh my God.
The hint is bronze, silver, gold.
Awards!
Oh my God! Yes!
Achievement! Achievement!
Award!
National ...
Blank.
Physical fitness award.
Right!
What's 'A'?
There's no blank. It's just National Physical Fitness Award.
Then why they add the 'A'?
Yah, I guess we take a lot of things for granted.
Because we just keep saying the acronyms,
and we don't really know what it means.
And we don't even bother finding out what it means.
All along I didn't know what the letters stand for.
And I don't really care actually.
We treat the acronym as the name already.
So we don't really say the full word.
If you know what it's suppose to be for,
then why do you need to know what it stands for.
When the names are spelled out in full,
it actually explains what the service ...
Or the organisation is. It explains what it does.
I will say that the hardest will be 'NPCC'.
In secondary school,
we just like 'eh, the NPCC CCA.'
Wah! So many 'C'.
I'm quite surprised with the 'ORD' one.
Because I kept thinking is this thing.
Like official release day.
Mandela effect.
Because it's like when they are really released from the camp.
For me, it's 'NAPFA'.
As in, we used to do it a long time ago.
Then we never knew what it was.
Eh. We late liao.
C - U - O - G.
Call Uber or Grab.
W - T - P - S.
Want to pang sai (shit).
Yah!
Huh?! Are you serious?
Like, imagine you don't dare to say 'I need to shit.'
Then you're like ...
WTPS lah. WTPS!
Oh! Word on the street.
If I could just call it 'WOTS'.
Hi, I'm Fauzi and welcome to another episode of WOTS.
Actually not bad leh.
Right?
Can we not?
