Why don't we have multiracial actors acting in our commercial breaks in Singapore?

Question

Especially in Channel 5 or Channel News Asia or it portrays that one particulars race is qualified for acting. How do they choose those actors to be qualified, or do they go thru an acting agency?

Unnga should be reading the question carefully then to throw an insult to a particular race in Singapore whom eats curry sauce with rice. I do not know about hiding money under the mattres but my gandmother loves to do that as they trust the pillow better than the bank.
I am refering to the English speaking channel not the chinese speaking channel. I feel that the question I asked is not on racial motifs but will like to see other races too.

Answer 1

Yes Most of us are fed up of seing our Asians in advertisememnts. I like to see all races. Sometimes these are unnecessarily dubbed by our same old boring faces.

Answer 2

In the sixties perhaps, when the hit TV series Hawaii 5-0 was filmned in Singapore. My friend remarked he never saw so many Sikhs with turbans on TV. If you bother to wake up at 6am you will see the national anthem and all the cheesy scenes of people of all races.
once saw an Insurane ad (who else?) showing an Eurasian playing a guitar. Take about racial stereotypes. Now you know why so many of them took part in Singapore idol.
Malaysian advertisers once used Asian actors with the 'Pan Asian' look. Those you can never figure whether they are Thai, Malay, Chinese etc. They were soon banned.
Japs advertisers loves european blondes and mute.
Singapore advertisers go for the obvious of course. Chinese and speaking mandarin in Channel 5. Nobody can fault them for not supporting speak mandarin campaign.
Relax. If your favourite race *ahem* ethnic group is not shown, try to encourage them to spend more to raise their profile. Hard to be the next important TV audience when you eat mostly parboiled rice and curry sauce, and hiding money under the mattress.

Answer 3

agency, the train all their life, they hold tryouts ya know. singapore does have some strict rules though.
