Thailand seems to get all the laurels for sentimental, heartstring-snapping ads and public service announcements, but Singapore is not far behind. Most government agencies have tried their hand at making us cry with their short film-style ads. These are the ones that messed with us the most.

1. This SMRT tear-jerker that made us forgive every breakdown. Almost.

2. This MOM one that made us feel like deadbeat kids.

3. Also this one.

4. This one that made us miss all our teacher-crushes

5. And this one that made us confront our racial assumptions

6. This one that made us call our dads

7. This heartbreaking anti-gambling ad

8. Another one that made us feel like bad kids

9. And this one by Royston Tan, that made us weep with kampong nostalgia
