Chinese video site Youku copies hit show ‘Squid Game’ for new variety show, claims it’s an error
Follow us on Telegram for the latest updates: https://t.me/mothershipsg After the wildly successful South Korean show "Squid Game" topped the charts globally, Chinese video platform and Alibaba subsidiary Youku appeared to have hopped on the bandwagon and taken a leaf out of Netflix's book. However, instead of the tracksuits, Dalgona candy, or white slip-ons, Youku appears to have taken a step further, by announcing plans for a variety show called "Squid's Victory" that will feature "large-scale kids games", according to the BBC . With a poster design that's strikingly similar to "Squid Game", the idea of contestants participating in children's games also appears to mirror "Squid Game's" plot. According to Global Times (GT) , media reports indicated that Netflix denied having any copyright discussions with Youku.

Chinese netizens furious … [Read more...] about Chinese video site Youku copies hit show ‘Squid Game’ for new variety show, claims it’s an error

Teen, 17, who fell to death after arrested for selling drugs was treated ‘professionally & fairly’: CNB
Follow us on Telegram for the latest updates: https://t.me/mothershipsg Recently, a mother in Singapore penned a letter to Home Affairs Minister K. Shanmugam, describing how her 17-year-old son committed suicide after he was arrested for drug trafficking. In her letter, Cecilia Ow made several allegations about how her son Justin Lee was treated by the police during the investigation process. She said that her son was diagnosed with depression prior to being arrested, and that her son had become a "different person" after his encounters with CNB officers, bringing up examples of how he slept poorly and refused to go out of the house, as he feared being watched by the authorities. Therefore, she believed that the stress from the legal process "broke him and killed him" as Lee jumped to his death on Sep. 16.
