Day 3 - My Favorite Television Program


This title took me some time to think of, the same situation happened as I wrote the blog for Day 1.

What is on my mind - Mr. Siao's Mandarin Class (你好 Mr. Siao!)
a program by NTV7 since 2009.

The story line was like this - A company employer in Kuala Lumpur would like to expend his business to China.
He needs his employees to be well-spoken in Mandarin to conquer the market of China as most of the employers are non-Chinese or non-Mandarin speaking Chinese.
The employer hires a teacher to teach them speaking Chinese.
Most of the funny stories happen after the teacher came to teach them.
Basically, the stories are based different dialects and languages usage by the employers in the company.
There are quite a number of languages and dialects spoken in the program:
Malay, English, Tamil, Mandarin, Hokkien, Hakka and Cantonese.
The way they present the incidents in each episode really tackled my heart.
It made me addicted to it.
Especially during Chinese New Year, they broadcasted a few special episodes for that period.
It was really amazing to see how the program integrated people from different languages and dialect speaking backgrounds to interact with poor Mandarin!

It is worth watching as it is relaxing and of course, it makes people to understand more on Malaysian culture.
I miss this show definitely after I entered university.
