I’ve to admit that it was a long time ago since I last watch RTM on screen.
But, when Information Minister Abdul Kadir Sheikh Fadzir was saying that RTM isn’t interested to compete with local private TV stations but to provide the best satisfaction to the customer, I was stunned. Quote:
"We have to be number one and the best. I have seen positive development since I took over this post.""RTM’s share of TV audiences has increased by four per cent, from 34 per cent to 38 per cent. This is very good since we have to air heavy programmes such as live telecast, Debat Perdana and Fast Forward."
While I’m not in the position to question how precise the viewing percentage is, however does higher percentage mean viewers are satisfied? Any idea?
My question to the dear minister: You’re not interested to compete yet you want to become #1? Measurable by its own yardstick?
What say you, Kadir? It’s just not that right, somewhere somehow.

I don’t know about heavy, but I do know RTM’s programmes are really dull. THey don’t seem to understand there’s a way to actually make ‘heavy’ programs interesting. Should take a cue from bbcworld..And Abdul Kadir should go back to his former Tourism portfolio
Hmm..
Kalau nak kata tak ada perubahan langsung tu.. memang tipu benarlah. RTM memang dah banyak ada perubahan sejak Abdul Kadir berkuasa.
Kalau dinilai dari segi content of each programmes, itu terlalu subjective. Ada orang suka tengok debat, ada orang suka tengok iklan. Ada orang suka tengok berita. Tak kesah la mana-mana pun.. itu pilihan masing2.
TAPI! RTM kena cepat2 upgrade kualiti siaran. Beralih kepada digital instead of analog.
Great website! Bookmarked! I am impressed at your work!
