MIC is seeking another slot to broadcast Tamil programmes.
PETALING JAYA: MIC president G Palanivel has called on the state-owned RTM to broadcast a second Tamil TV news.
Palanivel had raised this matter during a courtesy call he made on Information, Communications and Culture Minister Rais Yatim today.
According to the MIC leader, the second Tamil TV news should focus more on community issues, adding that this was the expectation of the community.
“They want a better outreach,” he said in a statement.
Palanivel also requested that RTM’s Minnal FM, the 24-hour Indian radio channel, make periodic announcements of important news.
This, he said, could be done in between songs and programmes.
Palanivel also said that he had suggested that RTM emulate the famous Indian TV programme on Makkal TV, Malarum Bhoomi (blooming earth),which encourages small-scale agriculture.
“RTM can bring in local farmers like betel nut growers, jasmin flower growers, vegetable and livestock farmers to share their experience.
“There should be TV programmes on real-life success stories of small-scale Indian farmers, businessmen educationists, professionals, parents, housewives, and athletes,” he said.
Meanwhile, Rais also agreed to visit Bujang Valley with Palanivel who had worked as an archaeologist there in the 1970s. - FMT
