Bernard Tai Character Analysis

Bernard is Carol and Dato’ Tai Toh Lui’s son. He’s generally considered to be spoiled and out of control, but he’s able to get away with his bad behavior due to his father’s high standing in Singaporean society. Due to a family business connection with the Khoo Organization, Bernard plans Colin’s bachelor weekend—but he plans a weekend full of gambling, sex workers, and dog fights, none of which interest Colin. At the wedding, Oliver gets Kitty Pong and Bernard to dance together. The two are discovered having sex at the tea ceremony the next day.
