Mediacorp has responded to criticism from Malaysian organisations over its drama Highway To Somewhere, which some claim portrays the country as a hub for scam syndicates.
In a statement to CNA Lifestyle, a spokesperson said the production had taken care in its depiction of Malaysia and that the storyline was not meant to target any specific country.
The 20-episode Chinese-language series follows a married couple played by Romeo Tan and Jeanette Aw, and four friends portrayed by Herman Keh, Seow Sin Nee, Bonnie Loo and Jasmine Sim, who travel to Malaysia and become entangled in a scam syndicate.
