Singapore – Local Malay free-to-air TV stations have received the thumbs up for improvements made to the quality of their programmes. Nonetheless, there is still room for doing better, such as the need to maintain language standards by speaking proper Malay, and to be more discerning when accepting dramatised advertisements which may have a negative impact on community’s social values. These were among the key observations and recommendations of the Malay Programme Advisory Committee (MPAC), which released its biennial report for the period 1 August 2008 to 31 July 2010. The 15-member MPAC advises the Media Development Authority (MDA) on the quality and range of Malay TV and radio programmes. The Committee also makes recommendations on how programme standards can be improved. As the Committee seeks to represent the views of the Malay community, the MPAC is always mindful of issues that could be deemed sensitive and of concern to it. Members of the Committee therefore bring to MDA’s attention, content on TV and radio that they find to be inappropriate for the Malay community, as well as convey concerns of the man-on-the-street based on the feedback members receive from the ground.
