An American woman’s satirical video of her “phone call” to the Singapore Embassy asking for political asylum has left netizens from Singapore and the United States in stitches.
Comedian Holly Hudson or @holhuds on TikTok and Instagram, has made a series of satirical clips where she “calls” various embassies of countries such as Australia, Senegal, and Finland, to request political asylum.
The 57-second clip of her “phone call” to the Republic’s diplomatic mission, posted on Dec 28, has since received more than 35,200 views, 900 reactions and 123 comments on TikTok. It has also garnered at least 7,100 reactions and 270 comments on Instagram.
In her video, captioned “Applying for the Calm, Orderly Life Visa. Lah!”, Ms Hudson says she is from Ohio, and that if political asylum isn’t possible, she will settle for a “Calm, Orderly Life Visa”.
“I want to live in a society that feels like it has adult supervision,” she says, promising to “treat the MRT like a church”.
“I’m just saying I’d love to live somewhere where the country doesn’t feel like it’s run by Grandpa Mad Max on ketamine,” she adds.
