Singaporeans want to watch parliamentary debates streaming on Youtube Live
The Issue
In this video, Senior Minister of State for Health and Communications and Information, Chee Hong Tat mention explicitly that "the reason why we(parliament) don't have a live feed is because this is not in great demand" In fact, the current CNA microsite for parliament video archive is simply not good enough. Videos fail to load or load too slowly for anyone to even watch. Speeches are cut off and we can't see the entire context at all. Live feeds usually results in error and many other issues plague the microsite. It is therefore imperative for the Parliament of Singapore to look into alternative hosting providers such as Youtube Live to broadcast their proceedings live. Broadcasting on Youtube Live is free and comes with little cost since Youtube do not charge their broadcasters fees.
