Forced to pay to watch crap

O$P$! If you don’t pay, Jeanette Aw will come and Nyonya you to death!

For some rea­son, our national broad­caster finds the time to jus­tify the col­lec­tion of tv licence fees.

It makes me really angry. And don’t tell me the UK charges are higher. They have the BBC. We… OMG where do I start?

From Wikipedia:

Even though Singapore’s only tele­vi­sion broad­caster, Medi­a­Corp, is tech­ni­cally not a pub­lic broad­caster, Sin­ga­pore­ans with TVs in their house­holds or TVs and radios in their vehi­cles are still required to acquire a tele­vi­sion licence. How­ever, adver­tis­ing air-time remains high at around 15 min­utes of adver­tis­ing every hour
