<hr />
<div>'''Lucky Number''' is a 1999 Singaporean film, directed by Hong Kong director Danny Ko.<br />
==Synopsis==<br />
Jonathan is a cowardly kopi kia who is fired and replaced by a cheaper, Mainland Chinese "dragon lady" who also doubles as the mistress of his boss, Tau Huay Chio. With his recently retrenched friend Leon, they embark on various illegal schemes to survive, all of which fail before taking off. <br />
<br />
Finally, they are arrested for hawking pirated VCDs, and face jail or a $40,000 fine. Jonathan and Leon split after a petty fight, and he is left to raise the sum on his own. After a chance encounter with Hong Kong celebrity Law Kar-ying, Jonathan strikes 4D, pays off the fine and buys over the coffeeshop after Tau Huay Chio runs into debt.<br />
==Cast==<br />
Apart from Lim Aik Seng, Law Kar Ying, and Eileen Yeow, most of the cast were SBC artistes who mostly played supporting and cameo roles.<br />

==Production==<br />
===Filming===<br />
The movie was shot on location in various parts of Singapore. The coffeeshop featured is the Aljunied branch of Kim San Leng at Blk 133 Geylang East Ave 1. Some scenes were shot at Golden Mile Tower, where DS Movie Production was based at the time. Other shooting locations include People's Park Complex, People's Park Centre, 531 Upper Cross Street, and Lau Pa Sat.<br />
<br />
==Reception==<br />
Lucky Number was criticised as a poor clone of Jack Neo's [[Money No Enough]], which was a major box office hit just the year before. A reviewer from The New Paper described it as "Money No Enough" without Jack Neo. Online film reviews website FilmsAsia gave it half a star out of four, saying "Lucky Number follows the footsteps of Money No Enough, without providing anything new ... even good acting cannot salvage a bad script".<br />
<br />
The movie made a loss at the box office with only S$360,000 in revenue against an estimated $500,000 in production costs.</div>Paul 1953https://sgwiki.com/index.php?title=Form_Records&diff=467209Form Records2019-12-15T18:00:23Z<p>Paul 1953: /* Enhance Your IQ (1997) */</p>
<hr />
<div>'''Form Holdings Limited''' was a publisher, retailer, and distributor of music, music videos and direct-to-video programmes, headquartered in Singapore and with offices in Malaysia, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. It was listed on the SESDAQ. Form was founded by Ang Choon Beng alias Ang Siong Kiat, who was also the executive producer of all series in Chinese.<ref>[http://www.nas.gov.sg/archivesonline/oral_history_interviews/record-details/103bc515-115f-11e3-83d5-0050568939ad Oral History Interviews: Mr Ang Choon Beng]</ref><br />
<br />
Form Holdings is also known for their series of children's educational programmes made in the 1990s, which include the Mental Arithmetic series, the ABC English for Children series and many others. All these were published under the '''Form Records''', '''Form Kidz''', and '''Form Music Publication''' labels.<br />
<br />
The cast of these programmes included Channel 8 actors and actresses like Chen Liping, Huang Wenyong, Emily Yeo, and Jaslyn Theen, and child actors from the era like Darence Ang, Koay Jing Li, and David Tham, amongst others. However, like in most Channel 8 shows in the 1990s, their voices were mostly dubbed over by TCS dubbing artistes. Exceptions include the Mental Arithmetic series and its spin-off videos. <br />
<br />
The producer for many of these series was Ang Hung Lin, who was also producer for the movies [[Nobody's Child]] and [[Missing You...]]. Both Ang Hung Lin and Ang Choon Beng left Form Records and founded Innoform Media in the early 2000s.<br />
<br />
As of 2019, only the Malaysian subsidiary, Form Records (M) Sdn Bhd, based in Kuala Lumpur, survives. Form Holdings Limited has since been repurposed as a holding company for a membrane manufacturer.<br />
<br />
==Series==<br />
Darence Ang sung the theme and interlude songs for many of these series, until around 1996 or 1997. Some of these songs were later compiled into an album, released in 1997.<br />
<br />
===ABC English for Children (1992 - 1996)===<br />
Probably the most well-known Form publication, this series starred Chen Liping as the teacher and ran to 6 volumes. Some volumes were also available in English, Cantonese, and Malay dubs. A seventh volume under the same name, unrelated to the rest of the series, was produced by Form Records (M) Sdn Bhd in 2005.<br />

Published by Form Music Publications. Unlike ABC English for Children this programme focused more on English phonics, and none of the children were trained actors. The show's host is John "JC" Cunningham, who is a speech and drama teacher in real life as well.<br />
<br />
Some of the songs used are adaptations of songs featured in an episode of Barney and the Backyard Gang, Rock with Barney.<br />

The opening theme is also a rearranged version of an instrumental background track heard in What a Wonderful World.<br />
<br />
===Ten Brothers (1995)===<br />
Based on the Chinese legend. Three quarrelsome brothers are joined by the children of their parents' friends and neighbours. They don't get along, until an Ah Long nearly kidnaps one of them and they're forced to band together to use their "powers" for good when a second kidnap attempt succeeds.<br />
<br />
Huang, Lee, and Darence Ang's voices were not replaced by dubbing artistes, although their dialogue appears to have been re-recorded. Ten Brothers did not follow the format of most Form Record productions, as it was more dramatic in style rather than educational.<br />
<br />
Some scenes were filmed at Blk 318 Bukit Batok Street 32.<br />
<br />
This video was released on laserdisc, VCD, and video cassette.<ref>[https://mothership.sg/2018/11/karang-guni-shopify/ Form Records Laserdiscs (excerpt)]</ref><br />

==Logo/introduction sequence==<br />
For most of its history, Form used the same introduction sequence featuring a yellow bird on a rainbow backdrop. Most of these videos had the version which used an instrumental excerpt from "Good Morning, Teacher". However, videos published by Form Music Publication (most were published by Form Records and some by Form Kidz) used a generic jingle instead.<br />

<div>'''Form Holdings Limited''' was a publisher, retailer, and distributor of music, music videos and direct-to-video programmes, headquartered in Singapore and with offices in Malaysia, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. It was listed on the SESDAQ. Form was founded by Ang Choon Beng alias Ang Siong Kiat, who was also the executive producer of all series in Chinese.<ref>[http://www.nas.gov.sg/archivesonline/oral_history_interviews/record-details/103bc515-115f-11e3-83d5-0050568939ad Oral History Interviews: Mr Ang Choon Beng]</ref><br />
<br />
Form Holdings is also known for their series of children's educational programmes made in the 1990s, which include the Mental Arithmetic series, the ABC English for Children series and many others. All these were published under the '''Form Records''', '''Form Kidz''', and '''Form Music Publication''' labels.<br />
<br />
The cast of these programmes included Channel 8 actors and actresses like Chen Liping, Huang Wenyong, Emily Yeo, and Jaslyn Theen, and child actors from the era like Darence Ang, Koay Jing Li, and David Tham, amongst others. However, like in most Channel 8 shows in the 1990s, their voices were mostly dubbed over by TCS dubbing artistes. Exceptions include the Mental Arithmetic series and its spin-off videos. <br />
<br />
The producer for many of these series was Ang Hung Lin, who was also producer for the movies [[Nobody's Child]] and [[Missing You...]]. Both Ang Hung Lin and Ang Choon Beng left Form Records and founded Innoform Media in the early 2000s.<br />
<br />
As of 2019, only the Malaysian subsidiary, Form Records (M) Sdn Bhd, based in Kuala Lumpur, survives. Form Holdings Limited has since been repurposed as a holding company for a membrane manufacturer.<br />
<br />
==Series==<br />
Darence Ang sung the theme and interlude songs for many of these series, until around 1996 or 1997. Some of these songs were later compiled into an album, released in 1997.<br />
<br />
===ABC English for Children (1992 - 1996)===<br />
Probably the most well-known Form publication, this series starred Chen Liping as the teacher and ran to 6 volumes. Some volumes were also available in English, Cantonese, and Malay dubs. A seventh volume under the same name, unrelated to the rest of the series, was produced by Form Records (M) Sdn Bhd in 2005.<br />

===Say It, It's Easy (1996)===<br />
Published by Form Music Publications. Unlike ABC English for Children this programme focused more on English phonics, and none of the children were trained actors. The show's host is John "JC" Cunningham, who is a speech and drama teacher in real life as well.<br />
<br />
Some of the songs used are adaptations of songs featured in an episode of Barney and the Backyard Gang, Rock with Barney.<br />

<br />
The opening theme is also a rearranged version of an instrumental background track heard in What a Wonderful World.<br />
<br />
===Ten Brothers (1995)===<br />
Based on the Chinese legend. Three quarrelsome brothers are joined by the children of their parents' friends and neighbours. They don't get along, until an Ah Long nearly kidnaps one of them and they're forced to band together to use their "powers" for good when a second kidnap attempt succeeds.<br />
<br />
Huang, Lee, and Darence Ang's voices were not replaced by dubbing artistes, although their dialogue appears to have been re-recorded. Ten Brothers did not follow the format of most Form Record productions, as it was more dramatic in style rather than educational.<br />
<br />
Some scenes were filmed at Blk 318 Bukit Batok Street 32.<br />
<br />
This video was released on laserdisc, VCD, and video cassette.<ref>[https://mothership.sg/2018/11/karang-guni-shopify/ Form Records Laserdiscs (excerpt)]</ref><br />

<hr />
<div>'''John Cheng Yeow Nam''' (1961 - 22 January 2013) was a Singaporean actor and getai host. <br />
<br />
==Biography==<br />
===Career===<br />
Cheng's first credited screen appearance was in the 1990 Channel 8 drama When Dawn Breaks, and he continued to appear in Channel 8 dramas throughout his career. Like fellow Channel 8 actors [[Yap Hei Long]] and Alex Lee Han Kwan, Cheng mostly played Ah Longs, criminals, and violent characters. Many of these roles were based on his past career as an Ah Long himself.<br />
<br />
Cheng became known for his role as an Ah Long in Jack Neo's 1998 movie ''Money No Enough'', and the following year he was cast in ''Liang Po Po'' as a gang boss. <br />
<br />
''That One Not Enough'' was the first reversal of this stereotypical role, where he played a supporting role as a provision shop worker, and without his trademark beard. In a more notable instance, he had a cameo in ''I Not Stupid'' as a hostage rescue officer. Other such instances included his portrayal of an effeminate hairdresser in 2004's ''I Do, I Do'', and his last film role as a medium in the 2013 film ''Judgement Day''.<br />
<br />
Cheng was also active in the getai scene as a host, along with [[Lin Ruping]], [[Liu Lee Lyne]] and [[Wang Lei]] who also had acting experience.<br />
<br />
Cheng was usually credited as Zhong Yaonan or John Cheng. Within the entertainment industry and to fans, he was known as Ah Nan or Ah Nam.<br />
<br />
===Personal life===<br />
In a 1996 interview, Cheng opened up on his past as a hooligan. As one of five children with both parents working to support the family, Cheng was neglected and turned to smoking, violence and acts of gangsterism, under the influence of friends. He later joined an Ah Long syndicate and became a runner. Cheng worked several menial jobs before entering showbiz in 1987. He received his secondary education in Chai Chee Secondary School.<br />
<br />
He was arrested on charges of using Ecstasy in 2006, and was jailed for a year. Cheng maintained the drug was slipped into his drink unknowingly.<br />
<br />
Cheng controversially shouted at journalists during a 2010 press conference addressing Jack Neo's extramarital affairs. Netizens were divided over his behaviour, with some criticising him for passing off Neo's affair as a norm. <br />
<br />
Cheng married twice. His second wife was Lung Yoke Ching, with whom he had three daughters. <br />
<br />
===Death===<br />
In the early hours of 22 January 2013, Cheng collapsed backstage following a performance in Club Cleopatra, in Parklane Shopping Mall. He died shortly thereafter from a heart attack.<br />
<br />
Reports later emerged that Cheng had an unhealthy habit of guzzling 10 bottles of Coca-Cola daily, to sustain energy levels for his long working hours. He was also suffering from high blood pressure and high cholesterol, and was on medication for these conditions.<br />

<hr />
<div>'''Form Holdings Limited''' was a publisher, retailer, and distributor of music, music videos and direct-to-video programmes, headquartered in Singapore and with offices in Malaysia, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. It was listed on the SESDAQ. Form was founded by Ang Choon Beng alias Ang Siong Kiat, who was also the executive producer of all series in Chinese.<ref>[http://www.nas.gov.sg/archivesonline/oral_history_interviews/record-details/103bc515-115f-11e3-83d5-0050568939ad Oral History Interviews: Mr Ang Choon Beng]</ref><br />
<br />
Form Holdings is also known for their series of children's educational programmes made in the 1990s, which include the Mental Arithmetic series, the ABC English for Children series and many others. All these were published under the '''Form Records''', '''Form Kidz''', and '''Form Music Publication''' labels.<br />
<br />
The cast of these programmes included Channel 8 actors and actresses like Chen Liping, Huang Wenyong, Emily Yeo, and Jaslyn Theen, and child actors from the era like Darence Ang, Koay Jing Li, and David Tham, amongst others. However, like in most Channel 8 shows in the 1990s, their voices were mostly dubbed over by TCS dubbing artistes. Exceptions include the Mental Arithmetic series and its spin-off videos. <br />
<br />
The producer for many of these series was Ang Hung Lin, who was also producer for the movies [[Nobody's Child]] and [[Missing You...]]. Both Ang Hung Lin and Ang Choon Beng left Form Records and founded Innoform Media in the early 2000s.<br />
<br />
As of 2019, only the Malaysian subsidiary, Form Records (M) Sdn Bhd, based in Kuala Lumpur, survives. Form Holdings Limited has since been repurposed as a holding company for a membrane manufacturer.<br />
<br />
==Series==<br />
Darence Ang sung the theme and interlude songs for many of these series, until around 1996 or 1997. Some of these songs were later compiled into an album, released in 1997.<br />
<br />
===ABC English for Children (1992 - 1996)===<br />
Probably the most well-known Form publication, this series starred Chen Liping as the teacher and ran to 6 volumes. Some volumes were also available in English, Cantonese, and Malay dubs. A seventh volume under the same name, unrelated to the rest of the series, was produced by Form Records (M) Sdn Bhd in 2005.<br />

<br />
Some of the songs used are adaptations of songs featured in an episode of Barney and the Backyard Gang, Rock with Barney.<br />

===Ten Brothers (1995)===<br />
Based on the Chinese legend. Three quarrelsome brothers are joined by the children of their parents' friends and neighbours. They don't get along, until an Ah Long nearly kidnaps one of them and they're forced to band together to use their "powers" for good when a second kidnap attempt succeeds.<br />
<br />
Huang, Lee, and Darence Ang's voices were not replaced by dubbing artistes, although their dialogue appears to have been re-recorded. Ten Brothers did not follow the format of most Form Record productions, as it was more dramatic in style rather than educational.<br />
<br />
Some scenes were filmed at Blk 318 Bukit Batok Street 32.<br />

==Logo/introduction sequence==<br />
For most of its history, Form used the same introduction sequence featuring a yellow bird on a rainbow backdrop. Most of these videos had the version which used an instrumental excerpt from "Good Morning, Teacher". However, videos published by Form Music Publication (most were published by Form Records and some by Form Kidz) used a generic jingle instead.<br />

<div>'''Nobody's Child''' is a 2005 Singaporean film directed by Lim Koong Hwee (then known as Lim Boon Hwee, or Lin Wenhui).<br />
==Synopsis==<br />
Shuangshuang and Dandan live with their mother Danping in Singapore, who is struggling to make ends meet running a vegetarian bee hoon stall. Their father lives in Ipoh ostensibly working, but he has already started another family as yet unknown to them. Coffeeshop owner Orbit, constantly henpecked by his wife Orbiang, is attracted to Danping's looks; they flirt casually much to the anger of Orbiang. After finding out about her husband's infidelity, Danping begins to target him with a view to becoming his second wife and getting a share of his wealth. Shuangshuang is opposed to this as she hopes to see Danping and her dad reconcile, and she even offers herself to be molested by Orbit in exchange for leaving Danping. <br />
<br />
Shuangshuang is good friends with Wei, Orbit's stall assistant who sticks up for her. He has a crush on Rain, Orbit's daughter, and Orbit warns her to stay away from Wei despite a promise to let him date her in exchange for not revealing his affair. <br />
<br />
Things come to a head when Orbiang discovers Orbit's affair. Orbit and Danping book a holiday to Phuket, but he is left behind in Singapore after Obiang damages his passport in revenge. The 2004 Asian tsunami strikes, and Danping is uncontactable. Wei and Shuangshuang confront Orbit, but Orbit escapes with his life after Wei accidentally stabs Shuangshuang fatally, while attempting to attack Orbit. The film ends as Wei hovers outside a police station, and as Dandan, now presumably orphaned, looks for his mother and elder sister.<br />

<hr />
<div>'''Lucky Number''' is a 1999 Singaporean film, directed by Hong Kong director Danny Ko.<br />
==Synopsis==<br />
Jonathan is a cowardly kopi kia who is fired and replaced by a cheaper, Mainland Chinese "dragon lady" who also doubles as the mistress of his boss, Tau Huay Chio. With his recently retrenched friend Leon, they embark on various illegal schemes to survive, all of which fail before taking off. <br />
<br />
Finally, they are arrested for hawking pirated VCDs, and face jail or a $40,000 fine. Jonathan and Leon split after a petty fight, and he is left to raise the sum on his own. After a chance encounter with Hong Kong celebrity Law Kar-ying, Jonathan strikes 4D, pays off the fine and buys over the coffeeshop after Tau Huay Chio runs into debt.<br />
==Cast==<br />
Apart from Lim Aik Seng, Law Kar Ying, and Eileen Yeow, most of the cast were SBC artistes who mostly played supporting and cameo roles.<br />

Other shooting locations include People's Park Complex, People's Park Centre, 531 Upper Cross Street, and Lau Pa Sat.<br />
<br />
==Reception==<br />
Lucky Number was criticised as a poor clone of Jack Neo's [[Money No Enough]], which was a major box office hit just the year before. A reviewer from The New Paper described it as "Money No Enough" without Jack Neo. Online film reviews website FilmsAsia gave it half a star out of four, saying "Lucky Number follows the footsteps of Money No Enough, without providing anything new ... even good acting cannot salvage a bad script".<br />
<br />
The movie made a loss at the box office with only S$360,000 in revenue against an estimated $500,000 in production costs.</div>Paul 1953https://sgwiki.com/index.php?title=Lucky_Number_(film)&diff=462162Lucky Number (film)2019-10-13T09:39:20Z<p>Paul 1953: </p>

<div>'''Form Holdings Limited''' was a publisher, retailer, and distributor of music, music videos and direct-to-video programmes, headquartered in Singapore and with offices in Malaysia, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. It was listed on the SESDAQ. Form was founded by Ang Choon Beng alias Ang Siong Kiat, who was also the executive producer of all series in Chinese.<ref>[http://www.nas.gov.sg/archivesonline/oral_history_interviews/record-details/103bc515-115f-11e3-83d5-0050568939ad Oral History Interviews: Mr Ang Choon Beng]</ref><br />
<br />
Form Holdings is also known for their series of children's educational programmes made in the 1990s, which include the Mental Arithmetic series, the ABC English for Children series and many others. All these were published under the '''Form Records''', '''Form Kidz''', and '''Form Music Publication''' labels.<br />
<br />
The cast of these programmes included Channel 8 actors and actresses like Chen Liping, Huang Wenyong, Emily Yeo, and Jaslyn Theen, and child actors from the era like Darence Ang, Koay Jing Li, and David Tham, amongst others. However, like in most Channel 8 shows in the 1990s, their voices were mostly dubbed over by TCS dubbing artistes. Exceptions include the Mental Arithmetic series and its spin-off videos. <br />
<br />
The producer for many of these series was Ang Hung Lin, who was also producer for the movies [[Nobody's Child]] and [[Missing You...]]. Both Ang Hung Lin and Ang Choon Beng left Form Records and founded Innoform Media in the early 2000s.<br />
<br />
As of 2019, only the Malaysian subsidiary, Form Records (M) Sdn Bhd, based in Kuala Lumpur, survives. Form Holdings Limited has since been repurposed as a holding company for a membrane manufacturer.<br />
<br />
==Series==<br />
Darence Ang sung the theme and interlude songs for many of these series, until around 1996 or 1997. Some of these songs were later compiled into an album, released in 1997.<br />
<br />
===ABC English for Children (1992 - 1996)===<br />
Probably the most well-known Form publication, this series starred Chen Liping as the teacher and ran to 6 volumes. Some volumes were also available in English, Cantonese, and Malay dubs. A seventh volume under the same name, unrelated to the rest of the series, was produced by Form Records (M) Sdn Bhd in 2005.<br />

===Ten Brothers (1995)===<br />
Based on the Chinese legend. Three quarrelsome brothers are joined by the children of their parents' friends and neighbours. They don't get along, until an Ah Long nearly kidnaps one of them and they're forced to band together to use their "powers" for good when a second kidnap attempt succeeds.<br />
<br />
Huang, Lee, and Darence Ang's voices were not replaced by dubbing artistes, although their dialogue appears to have been re-recorded. Ten Brothers did not follow the format of most Form Record productions, as it was more dramatic in style rather than educational.<br />
<br />
Some scenes were filmed at Blk 318 Bukit Batok Street 32.<br />
<br />
This video was released on laserdisc, VCD, and video cassette.<ref>[https://mothership.sg/2018/11/karang-guni-shopify/ Form Records Laserdiscs (excerpt)]</ref><br />

==Logo/introduction sequence==<br />
For most of its history, Form used the same introduction sequence featuring a yellow bird on a rainbow backdrop. Most of these videos had the version which used an instrumental excerpt from "Good Morning, Teacher". However, videos published by Form Music Publication (most were published by Form Records and some by Form Kidz) used a generic jingle instead.<br />

<div>'''Form Holdings Limited''' was a publisher, retailer, and distributor of music, music videos and direct-to-video programmes, headquartered in Singapore and with offices in Malaysia, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. It was listed on the SESDAQ. Form was founded by Ang Choon Beng alias Ang Siong Kiat, who was also the executive producer of all series in Chinese.<ref>[http://www.nas.gov.sg/archivesonline/oral_history_interviews/record-details/103bc515-115f-11e3-83d5-0050568939ad Oral History Interviews: Mr Ang Choon Beng]</ref><br />
<br />
Form Holdings is also known for their series of children's educational programmes made in the 1990s, which include the Mental Arithmetic series, the ABC English for Children series and many others. All these were published under the '''Form Records''', '''Form Kidz''', and '''Form Music Publication''' labels.<br />
<br />
The cast of these programmes included Channel 8 actors and actresses like Chen Liping, Huang Wenyong, Emily Yeo, and Jaslyn Theen, and child actors from the era like Darence Ang, Koay Jing Li, and David Tham, amongst others. However, like in most Channel 8 shows in the 1990s, their voices were mostly dubbed over by TCS dubbing artistes. Exceptions include the Mental Arithmetic series and its spin-off videos. <br />
<br />
The producer for many of these series was Ang Hung Lin, who was also producer for the movies [[Nobody's Child]] and [[Missing You...]]. Both Ang Hung Lin and Ang Choon Beng left Form Records and founded Innoform Media in the early 2000s.<br />
<br />
As of 2019, only the Malaysian subsidiary, Form Records (M) Sdn Bhd, based in Kuala Lumpur, survives. Form Holdings Limited has since been repurposed as a holding company for a membrane manufacturer.<br />
<br />
==Series==<br />
Darence Ang sung the theme and interlude songs for many of these series, until around 1996 or 1997. Some of these songs were later compiled into an album, released in 1997.<br />
<br />
===ABC English for Children (1992 - 1996)===<br />
Probably the most well-known Form publication, this series starred Chen Liping as the teacher and ran to 6 volumes. Some volumes were also available in English, Cantonese, and Malay dubs. A seventh volume under the same name, unrelated to the rest of the series, was produced by Form Records (M) Sdn Bhd in 2005.<br />

Huang, Lee, and Darence Ang's voices were not replaced by dubbing artistes, although their dialogue appears to have been re-recorded. Ten Brothers did not follow the format of most Form Record productions, as it was more dramatic in style rather than educational.<br />
<br />
Some scenes were filmed at Blk 318 Bukit Batok Street 32.<br />
<br />

==Logo/introduction sequence==<br />
For most of its history, Form used the same introduction sequence featuring a yellow bird on a rainbow backdrop. Most of these videos had the version which used an instrumental excerpt from "Good Morning, Teacher". However, videos published by Form Music Publication (most were published by Form Records and some by Form Kidz) used a generic jingle instead.<br />

<hr />
<div>'''Form Holdings Limited''' was a publisher, retailer, and distributor of music, music videos and direct-to-video programmes, headquartered in Singapore and with offices in Malaysia, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. It was listed on the SESDAQ. Form was founded by Ang Choon Beng alias Ang Siong Kiat, who was also the producer of all series in Chinese.<ref>[http://www.nas.gov.sg/archivesonline/oral_history_interviews/record-details/103bc515-115f-11e3-83d5-0050568939ad Oral History Interviews: Mr Ang Choon Beng]</ref><br />
<br />
Form Holdings is best known for their series of children's educational programmes made in the 1990s, which include the Mental Arithmetic series, the ABC English for Children series and many others. All these were published under the '''Form Records''', '''Form Kidz''', and '''Form Music Publication''' labels.<br />
<br />
The cast of these programmes included Channel 8 actors and actresses like Chen Liping, Huang Wenyong, Emily Yeo, and Jaslyn Theen, and child actors from the era like Darence Ang, Koay Jing Li, and David Tham, amongst others. However, like in most Channel 8 shows in the 1990s, their voices were mostly dubbed over by TCS dubbing artistes. Exceptions include the Mental Arithmetic series and its spin-off videos. <br />
<br />
As of 2019, only the Malaysian subsidiary, Form Records (M) Sdn Bhd, based in Kuala Lumpur, survives. Form Holdings Limited has since been repurposed as a holding company for a membrane manufacturer.<br />
<br />
==Series==<br />
The executive producer for many of these series was Ang Hung Lin, who was also executive producer for the movies [[Nobody's Child]] and [[Missing You...]].<br />
<br />
Darence Ang sung the theme and interlude songs for many of these series, until around 1996 or 1997. Some of these songs were later compiled into an album, released in 1997.<br />
<br />
===ABC English for Children (1992 - 1996)===<br />
Probably the most well-known Form publication, this series starred Chen Liping as the teacher and ran to 6 volumes. Some volumes were also available in English, Cantonese, and Malay dubs. A seventh volume under the same name, unrelated to the rest of the series, was produced by Form Records (M) Sdn Bhd in 2005.<br />

===Say It, It's Easy (1996)===<br />
Published by Form Music Publications. Unlike ABC English for Children this programme focused more on English phonics, and none of the children were trained actors. The show's host is John "JC" Cunningham, who is a speech and drama teacher in real life as well.<br />
<br />
Some of the songs used are adaptations of songs featured in an episode of Barney and the Backyard Gang, Rock with Barney.<br />

<br />
===Ten Brothers (1995)===<br />
Based on the Chinese legend. Three quarrelsome brothers are joined by the children of their parents' friends and neighbours. They don't get along, until an Ah Long nearly kidnaps one of them and they're forced to band together to use their "powers" for good when a second kidnap attempt succeeds.<br />
<br />
Huang was the only actor whose voice was not replaced by a dubbing artiste, although all his dialogue appears to have been re-recorded. Ten Brothers did not follow the format of most Form Record productions, as it was more dramatic in style rather than educational.<br />
<br />
Some scenes were filmed at Blk 318 Bukit Batok Street 32.<br />

==Logo/introduction sequence==<br />
For most of its history, Form used the same introduction sequence featuring a yellow bird on a rainbow backdrop. Most of these videos had the version which used an instrumental excerpt from "Good Morning, Teacher". However, videos published by Form Music Publication (most were published by Form Records and some by Form Kidz) used a generic jingle instead.<br />

<hr />
<div>'''John Cheng Yeow Nam''' (1961 - 22 January 2013) was a Singaporean actor and getai host. <br />
<br />
==Biography==<br />
===Career===<br />
Cheng's first credited screen appearance was in the 1990 Channel 8 drama When Dawn Breaks, and he continued to appear in Channel 8 dramas throughout his career. Like fellow Channel 8 actors [[Yap Hei Long]] and Alex Lee Han Kwan, Cheng mostly played Ah Longs, criminals, and violent characters. Many of these roles were based on his past career as an Ah Long himself.<br />
<br />
Cheng became known for his role as an Ah Long in Jack Neo's 1998 movie ''Money No Enough'', and the following year he was cast in ''Liang Po Po'' as a gang boss. <br />
<br />
''That One Not Enough'' was the first reversal of this stereotypical role, where he played a supporting role as a provision shop worker, and without his trademark beard. In a more notable instance, he had a cameo in ''I Not Stupid'' as a hostage rescue officer. Other such instances included his portrayal of an effeminate hairdresser in 2004's ''I Do, I Do'', and his last film role as a medium in the 2013 film ''Judgement Day''.<br />
<br />
Cheng was also active in the getai scene as a host, along with [[Lin Ruping]], [[Liu Lee Lyne]] and [[Wang Lei]] who also had acting experience.<br />
<br />
Cheng was usually credited as Zhong Yaonan or John Cheng. Within the entertainment industry and to fans, he was known as Ah Nan or Ah Nam.<br />
<br />
===Personal life===<br />
In a 1996 interview, Cheng opened up on his past as a hooligan. As one of five children with both parents working to support the family, Cheng was neglected and turned to smoking, violence and acts of gangsterism, under the influence of friends. He later joined an Ah Long syndicate and became a runner. Cheng worked several menial jobs before entering showbiz in 1987. He received his secondary education in Chai Chee Secondary School.<br />
<br />
He was arrested on charges of using Ecstasy in 2006, and was jailed for a year. Cheng maintained the drug was slipped into his drink unknowingly.<br />
<br />
Cheng controversially shouted at journalists during a 2010 press conference addressing Jack Neo's extramarital affairs. Netizens were divided over his behaviour, with some criticising him for passing off Neo's affair as a norm. <br />
<br />
Cheng married twice. His second wife was Lung Yoke Ching, with whom he had three daughters. <br />
<br />
===Death===<br />
In the early hours of 22 January 2013, Cheng collapsed backstage following a performance in Club Cleopatra, in Parklane Shopping Mall. He died shortly thereafter from a heart attack.<br />
<br />
Reports later emerged that Cheng had an unhealthy habit of guzzling 10 bottles of Coca-Cola daily, to sustain energy levels for his long working hours. He was also suffering from high blood pressure and high cholesterol, and was on medication for these conditions.<br />

<div>'''Form Holdings Limited''' was a publisher, retailer, and distributor of music, music videos and direct-to-video programmes, headquartered in Singapore and with offices in Malaysia, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. It was listed on the SESDAQ. Form was founded by Ang Choon Beng alias Ang Siong Kiat, who was also the producer of all series in Chinese.<ref>[http://www.nas.gov.sg/archivesonline/oral_history_interviews/record-details/103bc515-115f-11e3-83d5-0050568939ad Oral History Interviews: Mr Ang Choon Beng]</ref><br />
<br />
Form Holdings is best known for their series of children's educational programmes made in the 1990s, which include the Mental Arithmetic series, the ABC English for Children series and many others. All these were published under the '''Form Records''', '''Form Kidz''', and '''Form Music Publication''' labels.<br />
<br />
The cast of these programmes included Channel 8 actors and actresses like Chen Liping, Huang Wenyong, Emily Yeo, and Jaslyn Theen, and child actors from the era like Darence Ang, Koay Jing Li, and David Tham, amongst others. However, like in most Channel 8 shows in the 1990s, their voices were mostly dubbed over by TCS dubbing artistes. Exceptions include the Mental Arithmetic series and its spin-off videos. <br />
<br />
As of 2019, only the Malaysian subsidiary, Form Records (M) Sdn Bhd, based in Kuala Lumpur, survives. Form Holdings Limited has since been repurposed as a holding company for a membrane manufacturer.<br />
<br />
==Series==<br />
The executive producer for many of these series was Ang Hung Lin, who was also executive producer for the movies [[Nobody's Child]] and [[Missing You...]].<br />
<br />
Darence Ang sung the theme and interlude songs for many of these series, until around 1996 or 1997. Some of these songs were later compiled into an album, released in 1997.<br />
<br />
===ABC English for Children (1992 - 1996)===<br />
Probably the most well-known Form publication, this series starred Chen Liping as the teacher and ran to 6 volumes. Some volumes were also available in English, Cantonese, and Malay dubs. A seventh volume under the same name, unrelated to the rest of the series, was produced by Form Records (M) Sdn Bhd in 2005.<br />

A two-disc compilation of musicals based on tales like Aesop's fables, Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales, and Chinese folk tales like ''Tadpoles Looking for their Mama''.

===Say It, It's Easy (1996)===<br />
Published by Form Music Publications. Unlike ABC English for Children this programme focused more on English phonics, and none of the children were trained actors. The show's host is John "JC" Cunningham, who is a speech and drama teacher in real life as well.<br />
<br />
===Ten Brothers (1995)===<br />
Based on the Chinese legend. Three quarrelsome brothers are joined by the children of their parents' friends and neighbours. They don't get along, until an Ah Long nearly kidnaps one of them and they're forced to band together to use their "powers" for good when a second kidnap attempt succeeds.<br />
<br />
Huang was the only actor whose voice was not replaced by a dubbing artiste, although all his dialogue appears to have been re-recorded. Ten Brothers did not follow the format of most Form Record productions, as it was more dramatic in style rather than educational.<br />
<br />
Some scenes were filmed at Blk 318 Bukit Batok Street 32.<br />
<br />
This video was released on laserdisc, VCD, and video cassette.<ref>[https://mothership.sg/2018/11/karang-guni-shopify/ Form Records Laserdiscs (excerpt)]</ref><br />

==Logo/introduction sequence==<br />
For most of its history, Form used the same introduction sequence featuring a yellow bird on a rainbow backdrop. Most of these videos had the version which used an instrumental excerpt from "Good Morning, Teacher". However, videos published by Form Music Publication (most were published by Form Records and some by Form Kidz) used a generic jingle instead.<br />

===Say It, It's Easy (1996)===<br />
Published by Form Music Publications. Unlike ABC English for Children this programme focused more on English phonics, and none of the children were trained actors. The show's host is John "JC" Cunningham, who is a speech and drama teacher in real life as well.<br />
<br />
===Ten Brothers (1995)===<br />
Based on the Chinese legend. Three quarrelsome brothers are joined by the children of their parents' friends and neighbours. They don't get along, until an Ah Long nearly kidnaps one of them and they're forced to band together to use their "powers" for good when a second kidnap attempt succeeds.<br />
<br />
Huang was the only actor whose voice was not replaced by a dubbing artiste, although all his dialogue appears to have been re-recorded. Ten Brothers did not follow the format of most Form Record productions, as it was more dramatic in style rather than educational.<br />
<br />
Some scenes were filmed at Blk 318 Bukit Batok Street 32.<br />
<br />
This video was released on laserdisc, VCD, and video cassette.<ref>[https://mothership.sg/2018/11/karang-guni-shopify/ Form Records Laserdiscs (excerpt)]</ref><br />

==Logo/introduction sequence==<br />
For most of its history, Form used the same introduction sequence featuring a yellow bird on a rainbow backdrop. Most of these videos had the version which used an instrumental excerpt from "Good Morning, Teacher". However, some videos used a generic jingle instead.<br />

<hr />
<div>'''Form Holdings Limited''' was a publisher, retailer, and distributor of music, music videos and direct-to-video programmes, headquartered in Singapore and with offices in Malaysia, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. It was listed on the SESDAQ. Form was founded by Ang Choon Beng alias Ang Siong Kiat, who was also the producer of all series in Chinese.<ref>[http://www.nas.gov.sg/archivesonline/oral_history_interviews/record-details/103bc515-115f-11e3-83d5-0050568939ad Oral History Interviews: Mr Ang Choon Beng]</ref><br />
<br />
Form Holdings is best known for their series of children's educational programmes made in the 1990s, which include the Mental Arithmetic series, the ABC English for Children series and many others. All these were published under the '''Form Records''', '''Form Kidz''', and '''Form Music Publication''' labels.<br />
<br />
The cast of these programmes included Channel 8 actors and actresses like Chen Liping, Huang Wenyong, Emily Yeo, and Tang Miaoling, and child actors from the era like Darence Ang, Koay Jing Li, and David Tham, amongst others. However, like in most Channel 8 shows in the 1990s, their voices were mostly dubbed over by TCS dubbing artistes. Exceptions include the Mental Arithmetic series and its spin-off videos. <br />
<br />
As of 2019, only the Malaysian subsidiary, Form Records (M) Sdn Bhd, based in Kuala Lumpur, survives. Form Holdings Limited has since been repurposed as a holding company for a membrane manufacturer.<br />
<br />
==Series==<br />
The executive producer for many of these series was Hong Hanlin, who was also executive producer for the movies [[Nobody's Child]] and [[Missing You...]].<br />
<br />
Darence Ang sung the theme and interlude songs for many of these series, until around 1996 or 1997. Some of these songs were later compiled into an album, released in 1997.<br />
<br />
===ABC English for Children (1992 - 1996)===<br />
Probably the most well-known Form publication, this series starred Chen Liping as the teacher and ran to 6 volumes. Some volumes were also available in English, Cantonese, and Malay dubs. A seventh volume under the same name, unrelated to the rest of the series, was produced by Form Records (M) Sdn Bhd in 2005.<br />
<br />
===At the Bird Park===<br />
An alien which looks like a bird suddenly hatches from an egg. The Little Professor and his friends visit Jurong Birdpark to help the alien find its mother.<br />

===Say It, It's Easy (1996)===<br />
Published by Form Music Publications. Unlike ABC English for Children this programme focused more on English phonics, and none of the children were trained actors. The show's host is John "JC" Cunningham, who is a speech and drama teacher in real life as well. <br />
<br />
===Ten Brothers (1995)===<br />
Based on the Chinese legend. Three quarrelsome brothers are joined by the children of their parents' friends and neighbours. They don't get along, until an Ah Long nearly kidnaps one of them and they're forced to band together to use their "powers" for good when a second kidnap attempt succeeds.<br />
<br />
Huang was the only actor whose voice was not replaced by a dubbing artiste, although all his dialogue appears to have been re-recorded. Ten Brothers did not follow the format of most Form Record productions, as it was more dramatic in style rather than educational.<br />
<br />
This video was released on laserdisc, VCD, and video cassette.<ref>[https://mothership.sg/2018/11/karang-guni-shopify/ Form Records Laserdiscs (excerpt)]</ref><br />

<div>'''Form Holdings Limited''' was a publisher, retailer, and distributor of music, music videos and direct-to-video programmes, headquartered in Singapore and with offices in Malaysia, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. It was listed on the SESDAQ. Form was founded by Ang Choon Beng alias Ang Siong Kiat.<ref>[http://www.nas.gov.sg/archivesonline/oral_history_interviews/record-details/103bc515-115f-11e3-83d5-0050568939ad Oral History Interviews: Mr Ang Choon Beng]</ref><br />
<br />
Form Holdings is best known for their series of children's educational programmes made in the 1990s, which include the Mental Arithmetic series, the ABC English for Children series and many others. All these were published under the '''Form Records''', '''Form Kidz''', and '''Form Music Publication''' labels.<br />
<br />
The cast of these programmes included Channel 8 actors and actresses like Chen Liping, Huang Wenyong, Emily Yeo, and Tang Miaoling, and child actors from the era like Koay Jing Li, David Tham, and Darence Ang amongst others. However, like in most Channel 8 shows in the 1990s, their voices were mostly dubbed over by TCS dubbing artistes.<br />
<br />
As of 2019, only the Malaysian subsidiary, Form Records (M) Sdn Bhd, based in Kuala Lumpur, survives. Form Holdings Limited has since been repurposed as a holding company for a membrane manufacturer.<br />
<br />
==Series==<br />
The executive producer for many of these series was Hong Hanlin, who was also executive producer for the movies [[Nobody's Child]] and [[Missing You...]].<br />
<br />
Darence Ang sung the theme and interlude songs for many of these series, until around 1996 or 1997. Some of these songs were later compiled into an album, released in 1997.<br />
<br />
===ABC English for Children (1992 - 1996)===<br />
Probably the most well-known Form publication, this series starred Chen Liping as the teacher and ran to 6 volumes. Some volumes were also available in English, Cantonese, and Malay dubs. A seventh volume under the same name, unrelated to the rest of the series, was produced by Form Records (M) Sdn Bhd many years later.<br />
<br />
===At the Bird Park===<br />
An alien which looks like a bird suddenly hatches from an egg. The Little Professor and his friends visit Jurong Birdpark to help the alien find its mother.<br />

===Say It, It's Easy (1996)===<br />
Published by Form Music Publications. Unlike ABC English for Children this programme focused more on English phonics, and none of the children were trained actors. <br />
===Ten Brothers (1995)===<br />
Based on the Chinese legend. Three quarrelsome brothers are joined by the children of their parents' friends and neighbours. They don't get along, until an Ah Long nearly kidnaps one of them and they're forced to band together to use their "powers" for good when a second kidnap attempt succeeds.<br />
<br />
Huang was the only actor whose voice was not replaced by a dubbing artiste, although all his dialogue appears to have been re-recorded. Ten Brothers did not follow the format of most Form Record productions, as it was more dramatic in style rather than educational.<br />
<br />
This video was released on laserdisc, VCD, and video cassette.<ref>[https://mothership.sg/2018/11/karang-guni-shopify/ Form Records Laserdiscs (excerpt)]</ref><br />

==Logo/introduction sequence==<br />
For most of its history, Form used the same introduction sequence featuring a yellow bird on a rainbow backdrop. Most of these videos had the version which used an instrumental excerpt from "Good Morning, Teacher". However, some videos used a generic jingle instead.<br />

<div>'''Form Holdings Limited''' was a publisher, retailer, and distributor of music, music videos and direct-to-video programmes, headquartered in Singapore and with offices in Malaysia, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. It was listed on the SESDAQ. Form was founded by Ang Choon Beng alias Ang Siong Kiat.<ref>[http://www.nas.gov.sg/archivesonline/oral_history_interviews/record-details/103bc515-115f-11e3-83d5-0050568939ad Oral History Interviews: Mr Ang Choon Beng]</ref><br />
<br />
Form Holdings is best known for their series of children's educational programmes made in the 1990s, which include the Mental Arithmetic series, the ABC English for Children series and many others. All these were published under the '''Form Records''', '''Form Kidz''', and '''Form Music Publication''' labels.<br />
<br />
Channel 8 stars like Chen Liping, Huang Wenyong, and Tang Miaoling had supporting or leading roles in some of these programmes. Similarly, Hong Junrui, David Tham, Koay Jing Li, and Feng Ziliang, many of whom were Channel 8 child actors, appeared in several productions. However, like in most Channel 8 shows in the 1990s, their voices were mostly dubbed over by TCS dubbing artistes.<br />
<br />
As of 2019, only the Malaysian subsidiary, Form Records (M) Sdn Bhd, survives. Form Holdings Limited has since been repurposed as a holding company for a membrane manufacturer.<br />
<br />
==Series==<br />
The executive producer for many of these series was Hong Hanlin, who was also executive producer for the movies [[Nobody's Child]] and [[Missing You...]].<br />
<br />
Hong Ziqiang sung the theme and interlude songs for many of these series, until around 1997. Some of these songs were later compiled into an album, released in 1997.<br />
<br />
===ABC English for Children (1992 - 1996)===<br />
Probably the most well-known Form publication, this series starred Chen Liping as Miss Aiyoyo and ran to 6 volumes. Some volumes were also available in English and Malay dubs. A seventh volume under the same name, unrelated to the rest of the series, was produced by Form Records (M) Sdn Bhd many years later.<br />
===At the Bird Park===<br />
An alien which looks like a bird suddenly hatches from an egg. The Little Professor and his friends visit Jurong Birdpark to help the alien find its mother.<br />

Channel 8 stars like Chen Liping, Huang Wenyong, and Tang Miaoling had supporting or leading roles in some of these programmes. Similarly, Hong Junrui, David Tham, Koay Jing Li, and Feng Ziliang, many of whom were Channel 8 child actors, appeared in several productions. However, like in most Channel 8 shows in the 1990s, their voices were mostly dubbed over by TCS dubbing artistes.<br />
<br />
As of 2019, only the Malaysian subsidiary, Form Records (M) Sdn Bhd, survives. Form Holdings Limited has since been repurposed as a holding company for a membrane manufacturer.<br />
<br />
==Series==<br />
The executive producer for many of these series was Hong Hanlin, who was also executive producer for the movies [[Nobody's Child]] and [[Missing You...]].<br />
<br />
Hong Ziqiang sung the theme and interlude songs for many of these series, until around 1997.<br />
<br />
===ABC English for Children (1992 - 1996)===<br />
Probably the most well-known Form publication, this series starred Chen Liping as Miss Aiyoyo and ran to 6 volumes. Some volumes were also available in English and Malay dubs. A seventh volume under the same name, unrelated to the rest of the series, was produced by Form Records (M) Sdn Bhd many years later.<br />
===At the Bird Park===<br />
An alien which looks like a bird suddenly hatches from an egg. The Little Professor and his friends visit Jurong Birdpark to help the alien find its mother.<br />

===Primary Composition===<br />
Two educational videos targeted at Primary 4 and Primary 6 students respectively, which gave tips on writing Chinese compositions.<br />
<br />
===Say It, It's Easy (1996)===<br />
Published by Form Music Publications. Unlike ABC English for Children this programme focused more on English phonics, and none of the children were trained actors. <br />
===Ten Brothers (1995)===<br />
Based on the Chinese legend. Huang was the only actor whose voice was not replaced by a dubbing artiste, although all his dialogue appears to have been re-recorded. Ten Brothers did not follow the format of most Form Record productions, as it was more dramatic in style rather than educational.<br />

==Logo/introduction sequence==<br />
For most of its history, Form used the same introduction sequence featuring a yellow bird on a rainbow backdrop. Most of these videos had the version which used an instrumental excerpt from "Good Morning, Teacher". However, some videos used a generic jingle instead.<br />
