PM Singaporean Lee
In Few days ago, Adrian Yap went for the PM Dialogue as the representative spokeperson to touch on the disabililty issue. I am glad that I have managed to raise this issue directly to PM Lee and in the extract below, PM Lee replied that he feels that the needs of the disability shld be looked into.
Mr Lee also assured the disabled that their needs would be looked into.
He said one recent step was to have English subtitles during his National Day Message telecast on TV for the hearing impaired.
And he believes such subtitling could be extended to news bulletins as well.
He said: "If you watch the Taiwanese or Chinese news bulletins, for Chinese, they will have Chinese subtitles because all over China, people speak the same words in different ways. So you need to read the subtitle to know what he is saying.
"We ought to be able to do that for our news bulletin too, at least the English one which is technically less difficult to do.
"I think we have asked MediaCorp to look at it and I am hopeful they will be able to work something out and that would be helpful. For the movies, it may be harder, probably the DVD is the best solution."
Subtitling for the news is in the works and details will be announced at a later date.
