TV program in RI and Singapore
Opinion and Editorial – July 25, 2007
I agree with Meutia Chaeroni on the way Indonesian TV tends to portray the lives of celebrities, and their insensitive behavior in news coverage, (The Jakarta Post, July 22, p. 1).
I worked and lived in Jakarta for more than 10 years before returning to Singapore. I have found Singapore TV to be very commercially driven and the local programs very bad.
Indonesia has many TV stations and is definitely a very competitive environment as compared to Singapore. I don’t find Singapore TV good, and just want to highlight this.
I used to watch at least two hours of TV every night while in Jakarta, and since being back in Singapore, I’ve not watched any local programs as I find them rather boring, and lacking imagination.
At least in Indonesia, there are the great local programs, as well as the “improper” ones. In Singapore, you just don’t have the choice.
