‘You’re nothing but a prostitute’: 2013 Singaporean show clip resurfaces as part of TikTok trend

A nearly decade-old clip from a Singaporean TV series titled “Crimewatch” resurfaced on the internet, creating a TikTok trend to its audio track.

The argument: The clip features the argument between two young women on the episode titled “Gang Clash” from “Crimewatch,” an English-language docu-drama series produced by the National Crime Prevention Council of Singapore and Singapore Police Force.

In the clip, actress Jernelle Oh says, “Why not? You’re nothing but a prostitute,” while actress Shanice Koh retorts, “How dare you call me a prostitute?”
Oh replies with, “You better say sorry,” but Koh retaliates, “Why should I? Go to hell.”

The fight between the two women depicted in the 2013 episode led to a gang fight and stabbing which occurred in 2011, according to AsiaOne.
Today, its audio track has gone viral, with social media users sharing the original clip and recreating the scene.

The TikTok trend also found its way to the actresses who starred in the TV series. They responded by jumping on the trend and recreating their 2013 scene.

Many viewers were surprised. They reveled at the actresses’ reunion. The TikTok video has garnered over 2 million views as of this writing.
In an interview with 8days, Oh stated, “I thought I did okay when I saw it eight years ago. But now that I’m rewatching it again, at the start, I did find it cringey. But the more I see [the scene], the more I become immune to it, because the cringe part doesn’t affect me anymore.”
“I think everybody has a side that is louder and ruder, it’s just whether or not you’ll show that side on a daily basis. So, while I was acting that role, I really let go and became the ah lian that I can find deep inside me,” she added.
