I saw this nice interview article with Jack. Yes, he is a familiar man to me. I like his movie particularly those on the children, "I not stupid, part 2" remember the part on giving praises and we should not be stingy about it.
Extract of the interview:
"If you make a movie thinking about it going to many countries, your burden will be very big..So for me, I just make movies for Singaporeans. Since I am living here, I believe I should understand all the interesting stories around"Jack Neo on why he produces films on Singaporean culture.
I can tell you, I put a lot of effort into making my films. All my films have a message behind them.
“But I don’t just want to entertain. I hope my movies can inspire.” Making people laugh is no laughing matter for Neo. He is very serious about his work, says TV actor and host Mark Lee.

“I’m like my mother: buay si eh, cannot die,” Neo says of his workaholism. “She won’t sit there and wait for opportunities to come to her. Because we didn’t have much of an education, we treasure every opportunity.”
