They say that imitation is the highest form of flattery, but maybe not so much in this case.

A Thai Netflix drama has received quite a bit of flak from Singaporeans over one of the characters' Singaporean accent. One of the scenes from the series was uploaded to TikTok by user Poorkaikai on Tuesday . "Didn't know Singaporean accent is just 'lah'", the user wrote. "Died hearing this." Poorkaikai also mentioned in the comments that the clip came from The Judgement, a 2018 drama about a young college girl who was sexually assaulted while at a party.

In the 39-second clip, the Singaporean character approaches the female lead after taking a picture of her from afar, speaking in what is supposed to be a Singaporean accent: "Hello lah, I'm Singapore ah. I'm a photographer lah."
