Masters of the Sea

Masters of the Sea was a 1994 television drama series produced by the Television Corporation of Singapore (TCS), the predecessor of Mediacorp. It was the first full-length English drama series to be produced in Singapore.^[1] The series starred Wong Li-Lin^[2], Ng Chin Han,^[3] and Aziz Mustajab.^[4]

Masters of the Sea was derided by some as "fairly disastrous"^[5] and lasted only two seasons, with the second season titled Masters of the Sea: In Troubled Waters.^[4] One of the criticisms was that it portrayed an elderly Peranakan woman wearing the wrong costumes and ornaments, and speaking the wrong phrases.^[6] However, it was syndicated to Indonesian television, where it was shown localised into Indonesian.^[1]
