Many studies focused on the humour translation of movies and TV shows. At the same time, where Singapore humour is not vastly discussed. Therefore, using Singapore humour, this paper divides it into three major components, puns, satire and accents that discusses its’ humour translation. This paper had chosen Mediacorp’s Channel all-time classic comedy, The Noose, to discuss Singaporean humour and translation.
