Mediacorp Visit

Time, a very important factor of success.
Not just grab, but creat your own oppurtunities. Make use of the least to achieve the most.

Empowerment, an essential element for achieving goals.
Let your followers and subordinates receive the knowledge which they should be equipped with.

The visit to Mediacorp was a very very very Very VERY enriching experience, more better than having Sec Ones bowing to you 90 degrees cos they thought you were a teacher!


We listened to a presentation by the Deputy CEO of Mediacorp, Mr Shaun Seow about MediaCorp as well as the qualities a leader should possess.

Mr Seow is a very good speaker, and introduced us to the challenges faced by the company, such as when having to retrench people, having to give punishments to employees who stirred up controversies, facing editorial issues, etc.

Being a leader of a media company, it is no surprise Mr Seow has really good oratory skills.

After a good discussion on leadership, how he gets the information down to his employees, how he manages the response from the public, how the values of MediaCorp (Integrity, Customer, Entrepeunership, Teamwork, E, Accoutability) stand in the company, etc.


Later we had a tour to the Radio Building and the TV Building of MediaCorp.

We went and look into the "fish tanks" of the studios of 938, 933, 987 and saw the DJs working inside. It does not seem easy being a DJ as there seem to be so much to handle. And there are so many computer screens to look at..

After that we entered the TV Building, which has "antique" tiles which later swooshed into modern renovation.. We went to the studio of Channel NewsAsia, and had the chance to meet one of the news presenter down there.
Kok Leong and Yarn Kit got the chance to try out being "Impromtu news broadcasters", trying out reading the news


After this interesting visit, we got back to where we listened to the presentation.

After a "debrief" we left with pleasant memories in our mind...
