Woon Chuk Chan, vice-president of network programming and promotions of Channel NewsAsia, said: “The channel invests in programmes that can add value to audiences either in their business or simply for leisurely viewing. There are many interesting facets of life in Asia, which have yet to be told, and this raft of programmes picks out just some aspects of the unique lifestyle and culture that is Asia. We are pleased that international viewers can share in these documentaries through the worldwide distribution.”
Dr Christopher Chia, CEO of MDA, added: “There is rising international interest in stories from Asia, told from an Asian perspective. Besides showcasing the rich possibilities of Asia through food, culture, travel and design, the slate underscores two strengths of Singapore production capabilities - our commitment to High Definition productions and success in factual programming.”
