- About the Author
-
Mr Kiasu is one of Singapore’s most recognisable comic icons in the 90s, bringing a brand of local humor that is greatly identifyable and relatable to Singaporeans everywhere. A caricature of a typical Singaporean who “does not like to lose”, the comic series has sold over 650,000 copies since its debut in 1990, with eight comic volumes and three spin-off titles; and also has a live-action drama series and various merchandise to its franchise.
Relaunched in 2017, Mr Kiasu is now presented in a new environment – a technologically advanced and modern Singapore, to which he applies his own quirky brand of “Kiasu” solutions to everyday situations. — Deep beneath our airport terminal, a world-class city is being built with utopian idealism. A short distance away under the watchful gaze of Mount Fuji, a mythical legend lurks about in fashionable Tokyo. Mr Kiasu takes us on a wild jet-coaster ride into new physical realms for a surreal mental trip! For someone who strives to be at the top of his game, it’s better to be kiasu than sorry! Never settle for anything less!
It’s First Class or No Class!
