A Story That Resonates

Set in late 1980s Singapore, “Wonderland” tells the heartfelt story of single father Loke (Mark Lee) who dreams of fulfilling his daughter Eileen’s (Xenia Tan) aspiration to study overseas. Struggling with illiteracy, Loke seeks help from his neighbor Tan (Peter Yu) to communicate with his daughter abroad. This poignant narrative explores themes of sacrifice, hope, and the unpredictable nature of life, capturing a bygone era in Singapore and highlighting the power of friendship.

Everyone Can Dream

The film’s themes align seamlessly with Singlife’s multi-year brand campaign, emphasizing that everyone has a dream, regardless of its grandeur. Singlife believes that with proper planning and time, financial freedom dreams are attainable, positioning itself as a trusted financial partner to help Singaporeans achieve a better way to financial freedom.

Commitment to Our Community

This sponsorship follows Singlife’s recent support for Singapore-born national shuttlers Terry Hee and Jessica Tan, reinforcing its dedication to nurturing local talent. “Wonderland” is more than just a film; it is a testament to local creativity and a vehicle for fostering a deeper appreciation of shared humanity. Although the film is set in Singapore and the United States with Hokkien dialogue, its universal themes resonate widely.

Debra Soon, Singlife’s Group Head of Brand, Communications, Marketing, and Experience, remarked, “Through our sponsorship, we aim to bring this powerful story to a wider audience, shedding light on the challenges, including financial dilemmas, faced by the everyday Singaporean. It sends the message that everyone can have a dream and you do not have to go through the difficulties of achieving that dream alone. Wonderland is not just a film; it is a reminder of the enduring parental love and the importance of holding onto hope even in the face of adversity.”

孙舒珊, Singlife品牌，通讯, 市场营销与体验集团主管, added, “我们希望通过这次的赞助将这部屡获殊荣的本地创作带给更多国人。这一部电影围绕着追逐梦想的主题。人因梦想而伟大。Singlife也坚信每个人都有追逐梦想的权利。我们致力成为国人追逐梦想的良伴，让他们在路上不感到彷徨孤单。《乐园》不仅仅是一部电影，它更像一面镜子，映照出我们新加坡人坚韧不拔的精神，以及即使面对困难也心怀希望的信念。”

Set to premiere in cinemas this August, Singlife invites everyone to support this remarkable film and the talented individuals behind it. For more information about “Wonderland” and its release, please visit Wonderland’s Instagram.
