Alfred Hitchcock presents... Sabotag. Carrefour was selling cheap DVDs of vintage films imported from Taiwan, apparently. From DVD distributors with names like "Happy Buddha".

Welcome to Poblem Engrish! This Blog is here to show you examples of BAD ENGLISH in Singapore, accompanied by pictures and details of where they occur. Why do we do this? Primarily in order to provide merriment, but also as a running example of how appallingly bad the standard of English in Singapore is, thus combining Education with Entertainment. If the culprits may be thus shamed into improving their English, so much the better, but we're not holding our collective breath.

At least they got Hitchcock's name right. Sabotage is based on Joseph Conrad's SECRET AGENT, this thriller is about a woman who suspects that her kindly husband may actually be a dangerous foreign agent. Hitchcock creates an atmosphere of claustrophobic fear while depicting a mysterious conspiracy to blow up Londoners in the places they gather. Behind the suspense premise, one can imagine Hitchcock enjoyed unfolding this story in front of his captive theater-bound audiences.
