Six Degrees Singapore
 
Presenter Asha Gill hits the ground with fast-talking, Vespa-riding foodie KF Seetoh, the man behind Singapore food bible Makansutra. Seetoh gives Asha an insight into Singapore food as performance art. Seetoh hooks Asha up with local Malay-surf-punks Force Vomit, who take her on their 'Liberate Singapore' campaign to promote their band at the Great Singapore Sale and local rave Zouk-Out.

Force Vomit introduce Asha to gender-bending sari-clad, cabaret icon Kumar, who shows her how even a non-mainstream personality like himself can be accepted into the Singapore mainstream as well as his ethnic haunts in Little India.

Asha continues to meet people in the strangest places, bumping into Jack Sim of the Singapore Restroom Association in the ladies powder room. He cajoles her into joining their Happy Toilet rating campaign designed to improve the quality of public lavatories in the cleanest of clean cities. Asha joins the good citizens of Singapore doing it for themselves and ends up in an al fresco restroom at the city zoo with more wildlife than she bargained for. Asha meets Seetoh's friend Dr. Wei to get the lowdown on good lovin' Singapore-style by taking in a local sperm bank and an aphrodisiac tour in the redlight district of Geylang.
