'Why has there been no local English-language TV drama or sitcom featuring a Malay or Indian family as the main cast?'
MS FAZLEENA MUSLIM: 'Kudos to MediaCorp's Channel 5 for creating serials like Red Thread, Fighting Spiders, Sayang Sayang and First Class. But why has there been no local English-language TV drama or sitcom featuring a Malay or Indian family as the main cast? Thus far, Malay and Indian actors are featured only as supporting players or extras. Our Malay and Indian artists are talented and should not be confined to MediaCorp's vernacular channels. Let us help every artist realise his dream of being a star. In turn, we can enjoy the variety and diversity of programmes and their characters' lives and colours on our TV screens.'
