source<\/a><\/p>\n KUALA LUMPUR: Radio Television Malaysia (RTM) plans to produce more Bahasa Malaysia programmes that would feature or are handled by non-Malays. <\/p>\n
Information Minister Datuk Seri Zainuddin Maidin said the initiative was planned as many of the current programmes in the national language aired by the TV station only involved Malay actors with no active participation from the other races. <\/p>\n
\n “This (only Malay involvement) could lead to non-Malays feeling that they are marginalised in the television industry. <\/p>\n
\n “Even if there are non-Malays in RTM’s entertainment programmes, they only hold minor roles, for instance in the Salam Pantai Timur<\/i> sitcom,” he said in a statement yesterday. <\/p>\n
Zainuddin said many non-Malays from the professional groups were proficient in Bahasa Malaysia, with some even better than the Malays in the language. <\/p>\n
He said this has been a trend among younger non-Malays and they should capitalise the opportunity to showcase their talents by reaching out to all Malaysians. <\/p>\n
He said there would be no reduction in Mandarin or Tamil programmes over RTM2 and neither would such programmes be translated into Bahasa Malaysia. <\/p>\n
\n “These programmes will continue to be subtitled in Bahasa Malaysia,” he said. \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Bernama <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
