MR CHEANG Peng Wah felt that Channel 8's Chinese New Year Eve Special lacked substantial and progressive cultural content ("MediaCorp CNY show needs improvement"; Tuesday).
We thank him for his feedback and will certainly continue looking at ways to improve the annual programme by increasing its cultural content, while keeping it light-hearted, fun and entertaining in a way that appeals to everyone in the family gathered at the traditional reunion dinner.
As for his suggestion that MediaCorp acquire Chinese show-business talent, our talent policy is based on getting the best person for the job, with a focus on local talent.
