Then why are you still allowing them to charge you and how come you still paying them stupidly.

Sinkie is a sinkie, you cannot change the fact.

I have just received a love note from MDA, for $135.00 and the back says WHY THE NEED FOR TV LICENCE..

under the broadcasting act (Cap 28) IT IS AN OFFENCE TO HAVE A TV SET AT YOUR HOME WITHOUT A VALID TV LICENCE. Authorised licencing officers would be conducting check on properties with no TV licence. A fine of $200 shall be imposed of a TV set is found at your home during inspection.

MDA if your reading this WTF! do I have to pay TV Licence, when I don't watch much Free to air TV...

MCS and mda should be broadcasting all matches free in the interests of public service. This is the way to promote the sport in Singapore, especially if you want to be soccer powerhouse.

There will be many families who cannot afford the $70 for pay TV. That is, if they even have pay TV.

It's a shame that the govt says they want to do something, but don't have the balls to support it.

TO WALK the talk, the National Trades Union Congress (NTUC) is taking its productivity mantra 'cheaper, better, faster'' into the heart of its social enterprises. Leading the march will be NTUC businesses such as its FairPrice supermarket chain, Foodfare eateries and First Campus childcare centres. For instance, new set meals have been rolled out by Foodfare which says they are cheaper than those of its competitors. On top of that, union members will get discounts of 10 to 15 per cent. A breakfast tray of a beverage, two half-boiled eggs and two toasts will cost $1.40 for union members.

You wait long long. They can only wayang for petty discounts.

The tv license is for the right for you to own a tv. Just like a coe is the right for you to own a car.
Whether you want to watch free to air tv programmes or not is up to you.
Btw, there is no erp for free to air tv programmes.......................... yet.

Soon this will happen....that is why they are mooting the idea of one single box for all the service providers. Maybe the Open net noe being installed islandwide ( coming to you soon!), will be able to do that, all signals will be scrambled, no TV Licence, you buy top up card ( you can also use the cash card etc), slot in.....you decide which "EDUCATIONAL" Channel you want to watch, and pay per hour.

This will be the "ERP" for watching free to air...the programmes are free, but you have to pay "ERP" to get in...peak hours charges are higher...certain popular TV Serials will be charge at a premium...Propaganda programmes..FREE!!!, & Affordable... ha ha ha ha
