COMMENT | State broadcaster must serve the people, not the government of the day.

did just that, coming up with a statement defending RTM, pointing out that RTM was following its standard operating procedure .Well, the SOP is that only the prime minister’s speech is ever to be given full and live coverage by RTM. Every other politician’s speeches need not be telecast live.

If we rightly assume – as many Harapan leaders have stated – that reform is an ongoing process, and transforming institutions, like RTM, is part of that reform agenda, we then need to ask when will the real reforms start taking place in RTM? There should no longer be a situation where the minister does the"investigating" and provides explanations on behalf of RTM. The responsibility must now lie with RTM’s editorial board. If there isn’t one, one should be set up. A board made up of RTM professional broadcasters, not political appointees.

News does not only originate from the top. Accounts of the marginalised, the voices of the weak, the disenfranchised, the poor need to be reported by a public service RTM. Reform, needless to say, cannot – and must not – simply be about designing populist measures and policies to revamp RTM specifically for the market.

Ministers should start reforms, starting with their ministries and laws of the nation. Stop talking about flying car or traitors in government servants. After 8-9 months, if Minister still talk nonsense and about traitors, it shows they don’t have the leadership & abilities!

Who cares lol. Nobody watches rtm in this age.

Change the name 1st

Yeah. Replace them with DAP dogs. Put Chineses and Indians as bosses. Then real reform achieved. abdulhadiawang chedetofficial umnoonline PASPusat PemudaPPBM tokmatn9

For 60 years RTM_Malaysia was the media machine that was responsible for brainwashing the masses so I'm not surprised where their loyalty still lies.

Even the stupidest Malaysian knows RTM is sabotaging the Harapan Government right, left and centre. Harapan Government should privatise RTM. Let RTM and its workers go compete with the other broadcast stations.

RTM is 50 years behind time ?
