It is really very disappointing that Mediacorp does not
broadcast any of the semi-final and final matches of Eurocup 2012. In the
previous Eurocup and World Cup matches, Mediacorp broadcasted at least the
semi-finals and the finals; even this arrangement was scrapped off now.
I am also dismayed that during the reporting of the Eurocup
matches of the day, our National broadcaster only showed to viewers images
rather than the video footage of the goals of the day. This is really quite
unjustifiable as in the world of today, many viewers can just visit Youtube to
look at the goal-scoring footage; Mediacorp can similarly take some of these
images -if it really does not have plan to buy the actual footage-with credit
given to Youtube.
I am really disappointed with Mediacorp: Singapore prides
itself as a good member of the international community with an inclusive
society but the fact that it did not show such important global soccer matches seems
to me that we have some way to go before we truly become a first world country.
