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

    Just to clarify, MDA collects the licence fees, not MediaCorp.
