Be a better judge Malaysian!

Reality television is a genre of television programming which, it is claimed, presents unscripted dramatic or humorous situations, documents actual events, and features ordinary people instead of professional actors. It could be described as a form of artificial or "heightened" documentary. Although the genre has existed in some form or another since the early years of television, the current explosion of popularity dates from around 2000.

Here in Malaysia, reality TV has showered the country with the popularity and high rated viewers in the entertainment industry. Last couple of nights, I watched One In a Million , the first local talent-search reality programme that allows viewers to vote for or against their favourite and least likeable contestants. At the end of the show, we can actually see how Malaysian differentiate the good and the bad. I was suprised with the announced winner who was clearly lost to the other contestants the first time she open her mouth and sing. But it was normal I think when It was started before with other reality singing competitions when fellow viewers have wrongly selected the not really talented star-to-be as the winner.

In my opinion, the outcome of the misjudgement by the voters will end up with low rating for the next season and for the music production company, they gonna bet their money to the album which can't even sell in the market. We have seen it ourselves before, and its proven! I can't remember the last time I ever listen to his/her voice in the local radio station( I don't know about overseas, may be they are popular outside ).

Mosyaf: Singing reality TV? Nah, I dont think so......

Prevelance of Weight Problem In Malaysia


Ministry of Health Malaysia conducted a National Health and Morbidity Survey II on 80,000 adult subjects between 1996 and 1997. They found that 4.4% and 16.6% of the population were obese and overweight respectively. Based on the adult population (males and females) aged between 20-59 years old of 10.4 millions (1996 Population Consensus, Statistics Department), it is estimated to be about 450,000 obese and 1.72 million overweight adult Malaysians respectively. The survey also found that 25.2% or 2.62 million adult Malaysians were underweight (based on BMI < 18.5).
