Singapore movie rating certificates
Singaporean film ratings were in force since 1991. The Media Development Authority revised the film ratings in Singapore on March 29, 2004:
G  : General
PG :Parental Guidance
NC16 : No children under age 16 admitted - For persons 16 years and above ONLY (Note: The NC-16 :rating was issued with the release of Saving Private Ryan, which couldnt be passed as a PG film due to the violence present in the film, but lacked an adult theme to be rated R(A))
M18 :Mature 18, for persons 18 years and above (introduced in 2004)
R18 :Restricted 18, for persons 18 years and above (Note: only for cabaret shows to date such as the Crazy Horse)

R21 Restricted 21, for persons 21 years and above (formerly known as R (A))
At the same time of the revision of the film ratings in Singapore, it also saw Consumer Advice introduced to provide information on the content of the films. This would allow parents and adults to make more informed film-viewing decisions. Consumer advice is necessary for PG, but NC16, M18 and R21 rated films, which is restricted, must carry consumer advice.
G and PG generally has no restrictions on age and most audiences are admitted. Regulation on the presence of adults for PG rated shows are advised but not strictly enforced.
NC16, M18 and R21 groups are restricted to persons of the specified age or above of the particular group. No persons under the specified age are admitted. If a film is classified as R21, the film is excluded from video releases. Singapore is renown for its very strict and conservative classification system, with some films deemed suitable for younger teenagers in Scandinavia being given the stiff M18 classification, or being cut.
