Mediacorp, don’t like to spend money on their productions
because they have a monopoly anyways, cable isn’t really offering
anything to beat them. Unlike the competitive markets like US or
Japan, we end up with medicore programs. But I think they are doing
a average job of the type of local productions they put on. They
are far better than any local productions of any small markets
catering to 4 million people. Look at SEA. at
least out TV production is far better than theirs. Lets rejoice in
our medicority for now and support the local scene and hope that
further financing will help to develope the quality and quantity of
our entertainment industry. A few of Jack neo’s films are very high
standard with great scripts, acting and video quality. Which can
even be compared to hong kong, korean or japanese production. at
the end of the day, finance is the driving factor of most industry,
it is our choice to make it sucessful.
