Singapore – Brunei Darussalam and Singapore signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to foster greater bilateral media collaborations, particularly in the field of digital media. It aims to spur policy and regulatory exchanges, as well as business collaborations between government and private entities of both countries in digital media such as internet protocol television, cable television and mobile broadcasting. The MOU was signed by His Excellency Haji Awang Alaihuddin Bin Pehin Orang Kaya Di-Gadong Seri Lela Dato Seri Utama Haji Awang Mohamad Taha, Permanent Secretary, Brunei’s Ministry of Communications, in his capacity as its Director of Broadcasting, and Dr Tan Chin Nam, chairman of Singapore’s Media Development Authority, at the sidelines of BroadcastAsia 2009. The agreement builds upon and complements the existing bilateral media MOU in the field of broadcasting signed by Brunei Darussalam and Singapore on 6 October 1990. The initial MOU generated a steady slate of television and radio coproductions annually including Rapsodi, a variety extravaganza; Minda, Bridging Minds and University Forum, programmes that promotes closer interaction and understanding among students; Pantun, a joint radio production; Malay dramas; and joint technical meetings between broadcasters from both countries.
