Mr Kiasu 2.0 (2021)

Mr. Kiasu has been fired, but true to his never-say-die, die-die-never-lose, lose-lose-muststill-win attitude, he aims to bounce back, improve himself and possibly even fall in love. He is caught in the idiosyncrasies of a modern world of tech-startups, fusion-health-sportactivities and the growing focus of mental-wellness, as we see a fresh adaptation of the beloved character of Mr Kiasu, the well-meaning, made-with-love personification of every Singaporean’s “Kiasu” nature. However, Kiasu’s attempts to become a better person are put to the test by young upstart Blake, symbolistic of how even the “Kiasu-est” of us are challenged by a competitive, constantly progressing future.
