Heh, I was wondering what happened to the local talk show in RTM2 (that is the only show I watched from this crappy station, mind you) until I saw this news in Malaysiakini today.
Information Minister Ahmad Shabery Cheek has been asked to explain the sudden disappearance of a popular television programme on state-owned RTM 2 which had seen a myriad of personalities airing their thoughts on current issues.
Among those who have appeared on the two-year old Chinese-language programme - called ‘What Say You?’ - were DAP parliamentarians Teresa Kok (Seputeh) and Liew Chin Tong (Bukit Bendera).
Sadly, I do not really understand advanced mandarin so I have to make do with the repeat telecast on Tuesday morning that includes subtitles.
Why were they taken off the air? Isn’t it obvious? For a government owned TV station, the nature of this show can be quite radical for the the guys in the 4th floor. Yeah, you won’t find any ass kissing talk in this show, just BN and Opposition MPs giving their uncensored views regarding the political circus in Malaysia, which is partly the reason I watched this show in the first place.
Should they morph into ass kissing mode after their so called rebranding, I am going to stop watching for good. Oh yeah, they are bringing Debat perdana back, I say don’t bother because you know how lopsided their debat is.
