Tan, Neo to helm more dialect shows

​Royston Tan's dialect drama Jiak Ba Buay or Eat Already? is returning for a second season in February, following strong support from viewers for the first series, which will end its run tomorrow.

Tan will also helm Season 2 of the series, which is produced to enhance the communication of government messages and information to seniors, using an entertaining format and in a language they are familiar with.

A new dialect variety show is also in the works and will be shown on Channel 8 on Fridays from noon to 12.30pm.

The 10-episode series, called Happy Can Already!, will debut on Dec 2 and will be directed by Jack Neo. Each episode will see topics such as healthcare, retirement adequacy, SkillsFuture and SGSecure told through songs and skits.
