Phua Chu Kang Pte Ltd, also known as PCK Pte Ltd or Phua Chu Kang for
short (é¬¼é¦¬å®¶æ— in Chinese), was a Singaporean sitcom on MediaCorp
TV Channel 5.The sitcom centres on an eccentric contractor with his
trademark yellow boots, curly afro hair and large facial mole. While
it carries the traditions of a sitcom, many unusual elements were used
such as flashbacks, quick gags and celebrity cameo appearances.The
series revolves around the Phua family, most notably Phua Chu Kang
(Gurmit Singh), a contractor who boasts that he is the "Best in
Singapore, JB, and some say Batam" - this is despite the fact that he
has only two men working for him and they are both inept and lazy. He
is also noted for his famous cliché or catchphrase: "Don't play play"
(pronounce as "pray pray" according to his articulation). There is
also another famous catchphrase which is being used in his famous 2003
music video called "PCK Sar-vivor Rap", that is, "Use your brain!"
(pronounced as "blain"). His personal clothing trademarks are his
yellow pair of boots, curly hair, a giant black mole, and long nails
on his pinky fingers. Phua Chu Kang is portrayed as an "Ah Beng",
which is a Singlish slang for a stereotypical, uneducated Chinese
gangster, complete with habits such as hoisting one leg up on the seat
of a chair when he sits down and growing one long fingernail to
scratch his ears.
