BIGGEST PAH for captional in Singapore!!!!!

FYI: The American people got a Closed captional silver machine in 1978. I think, There had only provided about 5 channels show. how do I know about this? I saw this CC machine, when I was a kid.
A lot of An American people was really trilliing that George Bush Sr, who was Signature for ADA laws and he was president from 1988 to 1995.(George Bush JR is sucker now)haaha.When the ADA law passed in 1990 then, the CC required to do almost of all Channels TV showing. In few years ago, Sucker Bush Jr cut the budget for Closed Capttional for around 10 thousand dollars;however, The government cannot cut Closed Captional at the education purpose Tv show: discovery, animal plant, and kids education show to Deafies people. mostly American people got angry about this for cut the 10 thousand dollars. Anyway, There have a lot of provide for Deafies people to enternment to watch TV and movie. In movie, they have open Captional for deaf people in special time. The open Captial for deaf people is: www.insightcinema.org I do really happy for Adrian to do working hard for better service for Deafies Singaporean. I cannot wait to see our TV turn CC or subtitle on this coming summer. I am sure that my wife will happy to watch TV often due to her love to hear the news on the TV. I will taken photos of NEWEST CC at Singapore on this summer. My point is that If there is set up the subtitle or Close captional for deafies Singaporean peoople on Sept 25... You must say "thank you to Adrian Yap to doing this for your own country!!!!!!!

from Adrian Yap: I got the good news from my friend that MDA will provide captioning services for certain programmes at certain time slots. It is definitely a biggest breakthrough in the deaf history in Singapore where many deaf are at their disadvantage when they watch the English news. Currently, there are no captions being provided simultaneously with the newscasters and there is no way for the deaf and hard-of-hearing to catch the newscasters reading the news. For years, we have been fighting for the news to be incorporated with the subtitles but many a times, our request for the captioning has been flatly rejected due to the small population of the deaf and lack of fund to provide captioning service.
