CKP 3rd Gear January 6, 2012 Share January 6, 2012 (edited) From PM Lee gets 'star' welcome in Hunan PM Lee gets 'star' welcome in Hunan He walked onto the set of a variety show at the popular Hunan TV station for a look-see and was greeted by deafening screams. These came from about 100 teenage girls - many with highlights in their hair - who were there yesterday for the recording of the top-rated show, Tian Tian Xiang Shang (Day Day Up). Grinning, the special guest told them in Mandarin: 'I am not filming today, just here to take a look.' For that one minute or so, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong was accorded TV star treatment. He was visiting the famous media outfit as part of his tour of Hunan's provincial capital Changsha. Despite being a provincial station, Hunan TV has a national reach and is very popular in China for its entertainment and variety programmes. Ranked No. 1 in the country last year, it boasts hits such as period drama serial Huanzhu Gege (My Fair Princess) and the American Idol-esque show, Super Girl. But the Singapore leader is quite sure he is not the station's latest star. 'The students were all very enthusiastic, and they gave me a warm welcome. Not because of me, but because they were enjoying the show,' an amused Mr Lee told Hunan Acting Governor Xu Shousheng after the visit. 'I don't think they knew who I was, they were just enjoying themselves.' Anyone who followed local TV remembered when was the last time PM Lee and wife made such an appearance at local variety shows?

CKP 3rd Gear January 6, 2012 Author Share January 6, 2012 (edited) I dont think daily daily news can be compared to a highly rated celebrity entertainment show like Hunan TV. Different class. News is obligatory, entertainment show is optional and ... beyond the call of duty? Edited January 6, 2012 by CKP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cwong2910 2nd Gear January 7, 2012 Share January 7, 2012 If LHL appear on local variety show, there will be people saying he waste tax payer money or something along the line of paid $2million to attend variety show. Please lah, even if he appear in China variety show, most probably is an invitation from the locals and it will be plain rude to turn them down. Besides it most prob is after official working hours and he still has to "entertain". Of course people will come running in and said that, because he is paid 2million, he needs to work his ass off. oh well...difficult to please....
