Host serves little purpose
I AM totally disappointed with RTM’s coverage of the third Parliamentary session 2009. Last year, the Information Ministry (now the Information, Communication and Culture Ministry) had announced that RTM through TV1 would broadcast the question-and-answer session for one hour live from the Dewan Rakyat and Dewan Negara.
However, beginning Oct 12, the live broadcast was reduced to only 30 minutes. Making the situation worse, half of the broadcast was used by the host to comment on the question-and-answer sessions.
Most of the time, viewers are only able to see one question being answered by the ministers or deputy ministers.
The appearance of a host to interview Members of Parliament is totally absurd. They not only take up time but also serve little purpose. The rakyat are mature enough to judge what is being said in the Parliament.
The appearance of the host with panelists only makes the show no different from many other of RTM’s forum shows.
Besides that, RTM’s special news on Parliament entitled “Dari Parlimen” is only broadcast at 11.30pm which is way too late.
