Opinion/Letter: Announcers at airports must be professionals

I AGREE with the comments by Marina Mahathir on the poor quality of public announcement at airports (“Net video the modern PA system” – The Star, March 14).

I suggest that all announcers at airports must be professionally trained for their jobs. Not everyone can be roped in to be one.

The airport managements must ensure that the PA system at their establishments are in top order. After all, millions are spent monthly to maintain the airports.

This kind of obfuscation seldom happened in the 1960s and 1970s.

To project a good image of our developed level of education, announcements in Malaysian airports must be rendered in good and audible English to impress the foreign visitors.

The same goes for recorded voices of hotline numbers.

ANG ENG SAM,

Muar, Johor.
