An hour-long documentary on the history of Singapore containing at
least 10 translation gaffes will be re-edited and retelevised on
Monday, Aug 6, Mediacorp has said.
This is a change in stand from its earlier statement to Chinese-language daily Lianhe Zaobao, in which it said that the programme was scheduled for only one telecast.
The Day I Said The Pledge, which aired in Mandarin on Channel 8 last Sunday, July 29, contained errors in the names of Deputy Prime Minister Teo Chee Hean and the late Mr S. Rajaratnam, who was deputy prime minister from 1980 to 1985.
The programme, dubbed from English to Mandarin, also contained mistakes in local terminology and awkward phrasing.

Again, never doubt check.
Don't they ever learn their lesson?
Such a important program and the mess it all up.
