SINGAPORE, Aug 2 — In-flight announcements on Jetstar Asia flights flying into Singapore will be made in Singlish on National Day this year, and this time it is not a prank.
So don’t be surprised if you hear the cabin crew saying “make sure your seatbelt kiap tight tight” or “cannot smoke anywhere hor”.
The Singlish lines were first cracked as part of a joke on the eve of April Fool’s Day this year, but they will be used on flights following “an unprecedented number of requests from passengers and fans on social media”, the airline said yesterday.
In a new video released by Jetstar Asia, the airline referenced comments from netizens like “Steady lah, Jetstar!”, “Really real Singaporean!! I like it” and “you could have tried doing for one flight, tell me in advance I will take!! Jinjia ey!”, then enacted another in-flight announcement as a preview of what will happen come August 9.
“Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking ah! Weather along the way is quite swee. But just to be safe, please kiap your seatbelt tight hor. Thank you and enjoy your flight,” it went. — TODAY
