This might be old news to some but RTM1 (National TV station = propaganda channel) runs a 15 minute segment on bloggers on Sundays at about 8.40pm or so. You’d never catch me watching RTM1 at any time. I even forbid anyone in the house from switching over to it because I don’t want to be recorded as a statistic. Yes, I detest it that much. 
I made an exception for RPK last Sunday but immediately after the segment was over, I switched the channel
But I digress.
I was going to put up the links to the RPK segment which was on last Sunday, for those who missed it. Its in Malay but absolutely hilarious (to me) watching the interviewer fall far out of his depth and failing to control the tide of the interview.
Here is the Youtube video in 3 parts
But no, this isn’t some political government RTM-bashing post despite how it looks. 
I was in fact thinking of what the Information Minister said:-
On the selection of bloggers to be interviewed, he said this would be determined by the RTM selection panel from time to time, depending on the issue to be discussed.
“We look at the issue, not the personality. Besides the well-known bloggers, we will also feature new ones. We leave it to RTM, this is not for the ministry to decide.”
When you watch the Youtube videos, take a look at the blog names on the backdrop. Notice that they are all political or politically inclined blogs. Based on that and on the choice of bloggers thus far, I’d say they are going for so-po bloggers (social-political) and you my dear friends, and I surely do not fall into that category or you won’t be reading my fluff yes?!
So, unless RTM’s selection panel decide that the issue of the day is “What masacara comes recommended?” or “Where do I get good Char Kuey Teow?” I don’t expect to see beauty bloggers or food bloggers anywhere on their list… LOL…
But can you imagine the flak you’d get for dissing a popular mascara? What if the company decides to sue you for falling sales? What if you get death threats because some psycho fan of the mascara has been using it for the past 20 years with excellent results? What if you have to keep upgrading your bandwidth to keep up with visitors?!
Actually, I’m not too fussed about the latter.
LOL… the mind boggles.
Yours fluffily

Yeah I don’t read political blogs. I don’t read blogs that are difficult to digest .. my tiny teeny brain can’t take too much of heavy stuff. LOL
What if they really feature you one day? What are you going to say? Would be so interesting …
Andie: LOL at tiny brain. I’m like that too. Too small brained I always say
And yeah, I wonder what I’ll say – let me think it over … but hey! I get to be made-over for tv! 
I wanna comment, I really do, but I can’t seem to load RPK’s interview… been trying for the past 2 hours and they all stop loading after 15 plus seconds! Argh!
I haven’t seen the interview yet, but I will. I honestly didn’t know about the RTM1 Sunday night specials la…

But sheesh…we won’t be seeing Paris on air.???
