A video uploaded by the Singapore Tourism Board to its YouTube channel last month was taken down on Monday, hours after it received flak online.

The three-minute clip appears to be an advertisement to encourage people from the Philippines to visit the city-state.

Titled "See where the world is heading", it features a romantic couple travelling to Singapore to celebrate their anniversary. They walk around Marina Bay Sands and Gardens By The Bay, and at the luxury hotel's rooftop skypark, the woman gives her man a very surprising present.

The video, which was uploaded on 26 March, was taken down hours after news and lifestyle website Mothership.sg came out with a post Monday titled "This STB video is so bad it will go viral". The reactions on social media proved the site right.

It is so cheesy, almost like opening shots to some cheapskate porn movie....

I wonder how much they paid/wasted for that.

And I wonder if the person in STB in charge of this video is/was from Philippines....

holy cow.......

 

how much is wasted here?

 

Every dollar that the video cost, is ten dollars that was wasted. This investment's ROI is as negative as Lehman Brother's stock in 2009..

I was watching the video and thinking it wasn't that bad, just bland. Until the final part where the woman revealed her surprise gift and the man goes wow...

Don't quite see why there is a need to include the girl's pregnancy in the storyline to this tourism-related advertisement.

 

What is the advertisement trying to promote?

Singapore tourism or import babies to achieve 6.9 million?

 

Anyway, "Welcome to Singapore".
