ON TUESDAY night, as I tuned in to watch a TV talk show on the recent DBS investment crisis, I could not figure out if the presenter was male or female. I soon realised he was male, with long hair.
Personalities who appear on TV should always ensure they have a neat haircut and present themselves well. Appearing on TV with such long hair does not send a good message to viewers.

It was not long ago the Government used to warn males who appeared with such long hair in public places, for often they were associated with gangs.

I find it strange that MediaCorp allows a show with such a presenter to be aired. I hope it will look into this and ensure all presenters appear with neat and decent haircuts.

Personal opinion is not fact, so as much as I respect his views, I disagree with him strongly. After all, why get too bothered about one's interviewee's hair? We are focused on what he has to say, and not so much of how he looks.

I mean, I have seen MSNBC has interviewed a tattoo parlour owner once regarding the tattoo business scene, and its fine with me anyway. I mean tattoos are issues that one has to grippe with, and as such, its not up to strangers to interfere in the personal decisions of an individual.
