Jade Seah says “F*ck” on National TV? (0 ♥comments)

Posted on Friday, Aug 15 at 10:55 pm

If you do not know, Channel 5 has this programme “Today in Beijing” hosted by Mark Richmond and Jade Seah. This programme rounds up the day’s activities with exclusive interviews and reports from Beijing by on-site reporter Jason Chan.

Commotions were going on regarding one of the presenters - Jade Seah.

Poor Jade Seah was bombarded in forums about her presentation skills, and a Facebook group was even created to get Jade Seah off ‘Tonight in Beijing’. One of the members commented:

“Regardless of what your other formative experiences may have been, please understand that in this case, the substance matters more than the form. Please just give us the news. Please practise proper professional news delivery. Please do not preen, simper, banter, or do the equivalent of that Gatsby guy prancing around in front of the teleprompter. I don’t even follow sports, for cryin’ out loud.

There is still time for redemption. Please. Until then, Channel 5 @ 11pm is when the TV stays firmly switched off.”

Are you serious?? She couldnt be that worst, afterall she was chosen to be the presenter by Mediacorp. She must have some elements that make her to be the presenter, right? Personally, I’ve not watched “Tonight in Bei Jing” yet.. But, I will watch it today..and comment about her in my next post. =)

And ya, Jade Seah was caught saying “Err..F*ck..” on National TV. These words blurted out from her mouth when reporting about Men’s Synchro Diving and the images of Basketball showed. This is caught by BlinkyMummy.

Will she be staying as the presenter for “Tonight in Beijing”? We shall see..
