Malaysian English News Casters

The efforts of Malaysian TV Media to expand their reach and compete in this flat world against the likes of BBC,CNN, ALJAZEERA and CCTV is a welcome move. I also applaud the many young news readers who are trying their best to read news in English in such a way that most anglophiles can easily understand them.

I would however like to point out that several of the BERNAMA news casters need brushing up their pronounciation and intonation if they are to be at par with other international news casters, even comparing with those fron CCTV. I hope those responsible in their selection at BERNAMA can raise the bar a little bit more.
