In a monumental win for the three people who still own a television set, Richie Koh has bagged the “Bright Star Award” at a Chicago festival mostly attended by people seeking a warm place to sit.

The prestigious award recognises that Mediacorp actors are significantly more tolerable when viewed by audiences who have never been subjected to a single episode of Crimewatch.

Local critics are hailing the win as proof that Singaporean talent is world-class, provided the “world” is limited to a “Pop-Up” cinema in a Midwestern basement.

“Standard is like that lor, win award in Chicago then we act like he win Oscar,” remarked one local sinkie while scrolling past the news.

Organisers confirmed Koh’s performance was “revelatory,” mostly because they didn't realise Singaporeans were allowed to have emotions or dresses.

This satire is based on a real news story.
