Bangkok airport shut down, Singapore tv news covers it as major news item again, and again, and again

Bangkok airport shut down, Singapore tv news covers it as major news itemBad news in the economy, millions lost by town councils, major retrenchments - let's not cover such depressing news. Or Singaporeans may think we are really in a real recession instead of a, ahem, technical one.

So let's watch five to ten minutes of interviews of stranded passengers at Changi airport and ask their opinion about their flights being canceled.

"Excuse me, how do you feel about your Bangkok flight being cancelled? A) Sian B) Sibei Sian C) &@%!$*# Sian."

And what is also interesting to note is that in this news report, there are two mics used, with four logos on them, which all belong to ONE tv company.

Just when you thought the Bangkok story is done, as they cut to commercial and some news item about a minister launching some save water exhibition no one gives a shit about... the Bangkok airport news makes a comeback, in the form of interviews with travel agents.

Ok, ok, we get it. Don't go Bangkok. Now please cover some news Singaporeans care about.
