We watch Malaysian news in English (also delivered in Malay, Chinese, and Tamil) and Al Jazeera, After listening to BBC and CNN in hotel rooms all over the world, Al Jazeera's different voices and different programming are welcome. It doesn't short change US news either, it even reported NHL scores along with video. (Malaysian stations pretty much stick to badminton and soccer.)
Other available news channels include Bloomburg, CNBC, a Chinese news station and an Australian one. With the television and the Internet we don't feel out of touch. We learn about things that we would normally ignore - the local a.m. talk shows regularly commented on how was in and who was out on American Idol.
So did you burn up the internet voting for the hometown boy? Just think what you missed at the RBC center!
