Nanyang Technological University Library SOCIAL AND CULTURAL IMPACT OF SATELLITE BROADCASTING by Sankaran Ramanathan Principal Lecturer School of Mass Communication MARA Institute of Technology Malaysia Introduction As predicted by Clarke, Naiabitt, Toffler and other futorologista, the communication expLosion is creating waves of great magnitude affecting the global village worldwide. The future shock is reverbratmg here and now, particularly along the shores of nations visited by the Pacific and Indian Oceans and surrounding seas. In the face of this onslaught, what steps shouLd Asia- Pacific nations take to protect their social and cultural heritages? Should they discard that part of their heritages which have been exposed by the new communication technology as being anachronistic and outmoded? In the name of communication for development, what social and cultural values should the mass media (particularly television) strengthen and promote? In particular, what can Asia-Pacific nations do (collectively or individually) to ensure that the growing phenomenon of transnational satellite broadcasting does not become a monster that will swallow up national television organisations? This paper attempts to answer the above questions baaed upon the Malaysian perspective. It also includes a discussion of the development of broadcasting in Malaysia, privatisation of telecommunications, the recent implementation of the National Telecommunications. Policy (Daoar Telekomunikasi Negara - DTN) and its implications, particularly via-a-via sateLlite broadcasting and impact upon social and cultural values influencing Malaysian society. Paper presented at the AMIC - DEPPEN Consultation on Television Development in the Asia-Pacific Region, Jakarta, Dec. 8-9, 1994. I.

Nanyang Technological University Library £>gyel.opmetit_g £, Broadcapting in Malay sia : An .Overview Consonant with the experience of other nations, broadcasting in Malaysia started with the development of radio, which originated with the efforts of ham radio operators during the British colonial. era prior to World War Two (1941-45). After the War, the British set up a department of broadcasting, which became the Jabatan,Penyiaran after independence in 1957. Black-and-white television on one channel was introduced in 1963, initially for the Peninsular Malaysian states (Note:- GeographicaLly, Malaysia can be divided into two areas, viz Hast Malaysia consisting of the 3tatas of Sabah and Sarawak on the island of Borneo, and West Malaysia, consisting of the 1.1 states of the former Federation of Malaya, popularly known as Peninsular Malaysia. These two areas are separated by 500 miles of sea, and this in itself creates problems for communication within the nation). Starting with a name change, Radio-TQievia.iP^.-...-M3iJ-.aYsia (RTM) began to develop in stages as follows:- (a) Move to its permanent headquarters at Angka.aap.uri. in Kuala Lumpur. (b) Establishment of a braodcast training centre, which was subsequently named In.s.titut..Peny.iar_an_.Tun Abdul_.Razak, now also located on the Anakasap.ujri complex. (c) Establishment of a second television channel, RTM2. (d) Increase in the number of channels for radio. These changes were accomplished in tandem with technological advances such as gradual increase in the number of hours of colour transmission, (almost 100 percent of RTM transmissions today are in colour, the exception being old P.Ramlee movies), buiLding of relay stations to ensure better transmission and reception nationwide and construction of an earth satellite station at Kuantan, Pahang. According to Jaafar Kamin, RTM has five major objectives as follows:- (a) To explain government policies and plans in-depth by having wide coverage so that citizens wiLl clearly understand these policies and plans. (b) To influence citizens' attitudes and way of thinking so as to bring about attitude change that is consonant with government needs and policies. 2 ATTENTION: The Singapore Copyright Act applies to the use of this document. Nanyang Technological University Library (c) To help create civic consciousness and encourage the development of Malaysian arts and cultures. (d) To produce materials that tut; suitable for general, knowledge acquisition, information and entertainment. (e) To help create national unity through Bahasa Malaysia and the growth of a national culture in a multi-racial society (JAAFAR KAMIN, 1982 : 15-16). In thia decade of the 90s the role of RTM has of receaaity changed in the face of the increasing privatisation of the electronic media, as will be discussed later. Another broadcasting organisation, earmarked for change is the Educational Radio and TV Service of the Ministry of Education (R§diq..dan„TV .Pe_nd.idikanJ._.Kemente_ri.an Pendidikan) , which wa3 set up initially to produce and disseminate educational programs in the various languages (Bahasa Malaysia, English, Mandarin and Tamil) for broadcast to primary and secondary schools in the country. Recently, the Minister of Education announced that his Ministry would apply for a channel to continue providing this service. It is also pertinent to note that a number of regional communication organisations operate from their base in Kuala Lumpur. These include the Asia-Pacific .Institute for Broadcasting, _ Development (AIBD), the A.sia^Pacif j,c Broadcasting Unicm (ABU) and the Asian Institute, for. the Development of CJqiiTUiiunica.t.ion (AlDCOM). Privatisation of Broadcasting and Telecommunications Prior to 1983, private broadcasting was confined to Re.cliff..U3ion, a cable radio service available for subscription in the major Peninsular Malaysian cities such as Kuala Lumpur, Petalj.ng Jaya, 'Ipoh, Penang and Butterworth. In October that year, Sistem Television..Malaysia Berhad (STMB) or TV3 was set up as the first commercial, television station. Mass Media privatisation was not carried out as an isolated case, for the Malaysian government had been planning for privatisation since early 1982. The road to privatisation was charted out in the face of the financial difficulties experienced by the government from 1980 onwards {SANKARAN RAMANATHAN, 1988). Hence, in addition to increasing privatisation of the mass media, there was al3o privatisation in other sectors of government enterprise such an ports, road3, railways, public utilities and education. Consequently private invantment at local and international levels has increased considerably in the eighties as a result of the privatisation policy. 3 ATTENTION: The Singapore Copyright Act applies to the use of this document. Nanyang Technological University Library Privatisation of broadcasting, beginning with the establishment and Bteady progress of TV 3, has injected capital and manpower investment which ate necessary prerequisites for the expansion of the mass media. In addition, it has provided more avenues of employment, espec i o 11 y for mass communication graduates. Further, there has been greater democrat!sation of the mass media, leading to competition between privately-owned media and government media. This competition has resulted in higher standards of broadcasting, thus giving greater benefits to the audience, primarily the people of Malaysia. For example, coverage of the 1990 Malaysian general elections by the electronic media was much better and more extensive than the coverage of the previous (1986) general, elections (GANKARAN RAMANATHAN, 1990:- ). Further as noted by Mohamad Md. Yusoff, the increasing challenge posed by TV3 plus the privatisation by RTM of...:« r tain sections such as the drama and commercial sections have rejuvenated PTM, such, that RTM2 managed to recapture the "Chinese Belt" segment In 1990 (MOHAMAD MD. YUSOFF, 1993:24). More recently, in Juno 1994, the government, has approved the operation of a fourth television channel known as TV8, which is a private entity made up of a few key players in the Malaysian mass media scene. Further, a private radio service Time Radio, has started operation in the Kin rig Valley area, primarily to cater for motorists and highway usees. Hence, the groundwork has already been laid for greater privatisation of broadcasting. With regard to tele.comrtuiri ica tions, jf can be stated that the industry is developing so fust that keeping track of these developments itself becomes a herculean task. For example MARK HUKILL (who undertook one Che pioneer studies of telecommunications while 1.1 was in the process of being privatised in 1987) noted that, the impetus for the government to continue a monopoly Cor fjyar i kat. Telekom Malaysia (S'TM) in basic 3ervice provision was Likely (HUKTl.L, .1991 : 24-25). In fact, the initial listing of Telekom Malaysia shares

    February 11, 2016 The Honorable Mr. Barack Obama President of the United States of America The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20500 Dear Mr. President, As members of parliament from Southeast Asia, dedicated to the promotion and protection of human rights, we write to express our desire for you to make discussion of human rights and the democratic aspirations of the people of ASEAN a priority during the upcoming summit at the Sunnylands estate in California on 15-16 February 2016. As you are surely aware, democracy is struggling in Southeast Asia. Many countries in our region have taken dramatic steps backward in the past two years. While Southeast Asia appeared to be on the cusp of a genuine political transformation only a few years ago, more recently the region has instead witnessed military takeovers, the rollback of fundamental rights, intensifying government-sponsored discrimination against ethnic and religious minorities, and the increasing persecution of activists and opposition voices, including fellow parliamentarians. These setbacks constitute a fundamental threat to the future of the ASEAN Community and the US relationship with it. While we recognize and understand your administration’s desire to strengthen trade and security cooperation with Southeast Asian governments, we urge you to proceed with caution. Human rights, democracy, and basic dignity cannot take a backseat to economic or security prerogatives. Open dialogue on fundamental political and rights-based questions is vital to ensuring the sustainability of bilateral relationships and promoting broad-based benefits of trans-Pacific cooperation. When you sit down with ASEAN leaders in California, we urge you to press them on unfulfilled human rights commitments and to directly raise specific concerns with them.

  • Managing the Content of Malaysian Television Drama
    Managing the Content of Malaysian Television Drama: Producers, Gatekeepers and the Barisan Nasional Government A dissertation presented to the faculty of the College of Communication of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy Tee-Tuan Foo August 2004 © 2004 Tee-Tuan Foo All Rights Reserved This dissertation entitled MANAGING THE CONTENT OF MALAYSIAN TELEVISION DRAMA: PRODUCERS, GATEKEEPERS AND THE BARISAN NASIONAL GOVERNMENT BY TEE-TUAN FOO has been approved for the School of Telecommunications and the College of Communications by Drew McDaniel Professor of School of Telecommunications Kathy Krendl Dean, College of Communication FOO, TEE-TUAN. Ph.D. August 2004. Telecommunications Managing the Content of Malaysian Television Drama: Producers, Gatekeepers and the Barisan Nasional Government (303 pp.) Director of Dissertation: Drew McDaniel Abstract: The purpose of this dissertation is to describe and analyze how drama television content is managed in Malaysia. By looking at the production process of local drama television programming, this study examines the interactions among the three major players – the Barisan Nasional regime, the major television networks and independent producers – who are responsible for shaping its content. Three research methods are used for this study: in-depth interviewing, the informal conversational interview and documentary research. Between June 2001 and November 2002, 32 interviewees participated in this research. The research finds that the Malaysian drama television producer’s ability to generate program content is constrained by the Barisan Nasional regime. Three observations are made to outline the power relationship between the government and the television industry. First, the government often encourages television producers to make drama programs with the theme of friendship and goodwill (muhibah) among different ethnic communities in order to nurture racial harmony.

  • 100 Cops to Be Deployed for Dr M's Pekan Gig Malaysiakini.Com 27
    100 cops to be deployed for Dr M’s Pekan gig MalaysiaKini.com 27 Februari 2018 The police are ready for any possibility in relation to Pakatan Harapan chairperson Dr Mahathir Mohamad's scheduled visit to the Pekan parliamentary constituency tomorrow, said Pekan district police chief Amran Sidek. "The police are ready to face any possibility," he told Malaysiakini revealing that one hundred police personnel will be deployed to monitor the situation. He also confirmed that a notice has been submitted by the programme's organisers informing the police of the event and its schedule. "The organisers have been interviewed and they were given 13 conditions that must be followed," said Amran, citing Section 15 of the Peaceful Assembly Act. Pahang Pakatan Harapan secretary Kamarzaman Mohamed Yunus told Malaysiakini that he had obtained a police permit to hold the programme. "We just got the permit. I just got back from the Pekan district police headquarters," he said. Pekan Umno division committee member Abdul Rahim Yahya had before this told Malaysiakini that it was better for the programme to be cancelled as there "will be fights". Rahim said many youths in the area had approached him about Mahathir's visit and they were planning to do “many things”. He also claimed that no permission was obtained by the organisers to hold Mahathir's programme in the area. Pahang Pakatan Harapan chairperson Fauzi Abdul Rahman had taken Rahim to task for his warning against Mahathir, adding that other parties could also find gangsters if such threats were condoned. Mahathir is expected to arrive in the Chini area in the afternoon tomorrow, before going on a walkabout at an Orang Asli settlement there.

  • PRU13: PKR Pahang Beri Amaran Kepada DAP Mstar Online Ogos 31, 2012
    PRU13: PKR Pahang Beri Amaran Kepada DAP Mstar Online Ogos 31, 2012 KUANTAN: Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) Pahang memberi amaran kepada DAP yang juga sekutu mereka dalam pakatan pembangkang agar lebih berdisiplin dalam isu pembahagian kerusi pada Pilihan Raya Umum ke-13 akan datang. Pengerusi PKR Pahang, Datuk Fauzi Abdul Rahman berkata, walaupun tidak salah bagi DAP untuk meminta kerusi tambahan, ia mesti dilakukan melalui saluran yang betul dan dengan persetujuan bersama. Baru-baru ini, DAP membayangkan bahawa parti itu berharap untuk bertanding di Damak iaitu kerusi yang diperuntukkan kepada PKR pada pilihan raya umum akan datang. Sebagai tindak balas, Fauzi berkata: "Kita juga mahu bertanding di kerusi yang diperuntukkan kepada DAP tetapi sebagai menghormati antara satu sama lain, kita mesti mematuhi keputusan kepimpinan pusat. "DAP boleh meminta untuk tukar kerusi seperti memberi kerusi Tanah Rata dalam pertukaran untuk Damak. "Kami bersedia untuk menukar tetapi tidak memberikan begitu sahaja kerusi yang diperuntukkan." Fauzi yang juga bekas timbalan menteri dan bekas Ahli Parlimen Kuantan berkata, Pakatan Rakyat bukannya gabungan parti milik individu tertentu seperti Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim atau Lim Guan Eng. Tegas beliau, semua keputusan penting termasuk peruntukan kerusi, mesti dipersetujui oleh semua pemimpin gabungan itu. Pada pilihan raya umum 2008, PKR bertanding di enam kerusi Parlimen dan 13 kerusi Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN) manakala DAP di dua kerusi parlimen dan tujuh kerusi DUN. Jelas Fauzi PKR sudah muktamadkan calon-calon yang berpotensi di semua kerusi yang diperuntukkan kepada parti itu.

  • Fauzi to Submit Resignation Letter Today
    29 MAR 2001 Fauzi-Resignation FAUZI TO SUBMIT RESIGNATION LETTER TODAY KUANTAN, March 30 (Bernama) -- State Assemblyman for Beserah Datuk Fauzi Abdul Rahman will submit his letter of resignation to vacate his state assembly seat to Pahang Umno Liaison chairman Datuk Seri Adnan Yaakob later today. Fauzi, 55, said he decided to vacate the Beserah state assembly seat after the majority of the Umno branches in Beserah did not nominate him to defend the post of Kuantan Umno division head in the party election next month. "This means that there are Umno branches in Beserah which have rejected my leadership. When Umno branches in Beserah have rejected me, it implies that they don't endorse what I have done for the constituency and reject my services or what I have done," he said at a media conference after meeting Adnan at the Menteri Besar's official residence, here. It is learnt that Fauzi's decision to tender his resignation letter was made after he was said to have failed to obtain at least 13 nominations from the 65 Umno branches in the Kuantan division to enable him to defend his post as the division head. A candidate must garner 20 per cent nominations from the total number of branches in the division to enable him to contest for the post of division head. According to the Kuantan Umno division office, Fauzi had so far managed to secure only nine nominations to contest for the post of Kuantan Umno head while Kuantan vice-head Datuk Faisal Abdullah received 29 nominations and deputy head Datuk Wan Adnan Wan Mamat had 20 nominations.

  • Malaysia Brunei Malaysia at a Glance: 2001-02
    COUNTRY REPORT Malaysia Brunei Malaysia at a glance: 2001-02 OVERVIEW In the wake of the departure of the finance minister, Daim Zainuddin, in May and the takeover of the finance portfolio by the prime minister, Mahathir Mohamad, the pace of corporate restructuring has been stepped up, especially in those companies that had been shielded by Mr Daim. A one-year target has been set for the solution of the corporate debt problem. Meanwhile, the economic outlook continues to deteriorate, although the government is hoping that the economy will begin to grow again in the fourth quarter of this year. The Economist Intelligence Unit forecasts that real GDP growth will remain low in 2001 and 2002. Key changes from last month Political outlook • Accelerated corporate reform, growing repression and tightened control are part of the process by which the 76-year-old Dr Mahathir is re- asserting his control over Malaysia's politics and resisting pressure for his retirement. Economic policy outlook • Additional fiscal stimulus is increasingly likely to be provided by the 2002 budget, to be presented in late October. The government's 2001 real GDP growth target, currently at 5-6% for 2001, will be revised down. We forecast real GDP growth of just 0.5% in 2001. Economic forecast • Inflationary pressures are diminishing further. We have lowered our consumer price inflation forecast for 2002 to 1.7% from 1.9% previously, after an expected outcome of 1.5% in 2001.

    08 MAY 1999 Fauzi-Pita FAUZI AKUR KEPADA APA JUGA TINDAKAN PARTI KUANTAN, 8 Mei (Bernama) -- Timbalan Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri Datuk Fauzi Abdul Rahman hari ini berkata beliau akur dan bersedia menerima apa jua tindakan, termasuk disiplin berikutan ucapannya yang dikatakan bertentangan dengan dasar parti. "Kalau tangan sudah mencincang, bahu itulah yang sanggup memikul. Bagi saya, bila rumah dibina di tepi pantai, memang mainan dilambung ombak," katanya ketika ditemui pemberita selepas perasmian bangunan baru SJK (C) Kuang Hwa oleh Menteri Pengangkutan Datuk Seri Dr Ling Liong Sik di sini. Fauzi, yang juga Anggota Parlimen Kuantan berkata beliau telah menemui Presiden Umno Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad dan memberikan penjelasan berhubung ucapannya yang dikatakan memihak kepada bekas Timbalan Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. Pita rakaman ucapan Fauzi semasa merasmikan persidangan Perwakilan Umno Bahagian Tumpat itu diserahkan kepada Majlis Tertinggi Umno kerana salah seorang anggota jawatankuasa Umno bahagian berkenaan, Azmi Ali mendakwa intipati ucapan itu penuh sindiran yang memperlihatkan sokongan Fauzi kepada Anwar. Fauzi berkata beliau terperanjat kerana jika benar ada pihak yang marah dengan ucapannya semasa merasmikan mesyuarat itu, sudah tentu ada perwakilan yang berjalan keluar, tetapi sepanjang pengetahuannya tidak seorangpun yang berbuat demikian. Fauzi turut mempersoalkan kenyataan akhbar yang dibuat oleh Azmi seminggu selepas majlis perasmian mesyuarat Umno berkenaan dan tidak dibuat secara segera, sebagai contoh keesokan harinya. Katanya sebagai pemimpin Umno Bahagian Kuantan sejak 26 tahun lepas, beliau sentiasa berdiri teguh di belakang kepimpinan Dr Mahathir dan tidak pernah sekalipun membelakangkan parti terutamanya semasa menghadapi pelbagai krisis. "Apakah saya yang tak pernah keluar parti, selama ini setia kepada parti selama 26 tahun, tak pernah satu insidenpun kita menentang parti, nak diragukan kesetiaan saya?," tanya beliau.
