A determined couple, one Malay and the other Chinese-Indian, is desperately trying to register their newborn baby as Chinese on her birth certificate in the hopes that it will give her a better life growing up in Singapore. However, they are faced with backlash from an officer who perceives their actions as self-loathing and is insistent that the couple accepts their fate.
All they want is to give their child a brighter future, to ensure that the hardships of life she is bound to face will not be due to her race. A short yet powerful look into autonomy, privilege and power, this play asks the question: What does it mean to be a minority in the Lion City?
