…Yeah, and as for someone understanding, I don’t think they understand at all.

Remember that this is the company that went for the blackmail route first.

You’d think even Mediacorp would ask for it’s financial records before accepting them hook, line and sinker.

But this proves once and for all that no one in Singapore will stand up to them. And that the government is inherently evil and insensitive and NOT a bastion of transparency and incorruptibility as it claims.

Gee, thanks a lot.

As far as i know, these ODEX licenses are subtitled by Odex themselves, and they have a bad reputation for subtitling as they often don’t translate directly from Japanese and go from a Cantonese translation.

“why not us?”

Probably there are some reasons…Subtitling in english take its time, licensing and selling rights are expensive and America is too far from Japan.

I wonder also if the tv shows that will broadcast in Singapore are subtitled?…no word of it in your report…
