Summary

The film opens with a news report broadcast to Singapore that scientists have discovered a meteorite heading straight for earth and that there was only 72 hours left to live. Upon hearing this, Henry Thia's character tells his family that his last death wish was to become a woman, so he goes for MTF surgery to do this. We then follow the story of how his children are ridiculed in school for having two "mothers". In the end of the 72 hours, we are shown a scene of people at their HDB corridors looking out at the sky, bracing for impact. The meteorite whirls down from space; however, the meteorite burns out into a small stone which hits a boy squarely in the forehead for comedic effect. The people rejoice; however, scientists break the mood and report that another meteorite, which was ten times larger and sure to destroy earth, was coming. The film ends.
