Jade Seah in on-air controversy


BY: RACHEL CHAN

DID Jade Seah use the f-word on live television?

That question is on the minds of nearly 7,000 YouTube viewers - not to mention many surprised sports fans who had tuned in to Channel 5 last Wednesday to watch the nightly Olympic highlights on the MediaCorp news programme, Tonight In Beijing.

According to reports, the 25-year-old former beauty queen-turned-TV presenter had blurted out what sounded like the f-word after she introduced a diving segment featuring China's synchronised divers Wang Feng and Qin Kai.

The visuals shifted from a shot of Seah in the studio to the wrong footage - that of a basketball game instead of the action at the Water Cube.

This was when she, or someone else, purportedly slipped up. It sparked a furore online, compelling a viewer to post a clip of the segment on YouTube.

Senior research executive Goh Fang Ying, 26, who saw the clip, said: "I turned up the volume on YouTube. It sounded like a woman was trying to correct her own pronunciation. I heard her say: 'Feng... Fang... ahh, f***."

As of press time, there were many discussion threads on at least five online forums and 12 blogs discussing the boo-boo. There is also a Facebook group demanding that Seah be taken off the news programme.

Seah, who was the first runner-up in the Miss Singapore Universe 2006 pageant, is one of the most visible MediaCorp artistes.

Besides hosting reality-TV shows and live events, she has also recently tried her hand at acting. In her latest role, she plays a member of an amateur volleyball team on a Channel 8 drama serial titled Beach.Ball.Babes.

my paper contacted Seah's artiste manager yesterday for clarification. The latter stood by what she had told Lianhe Wanbao, which was the first paper to break the news last Friday.

'MediaCorp had already gone through the tapes and ascertained that no such slip-up had occurred,' she reiterated. The manager also said that she had asked Seah personally about the incident last week. Seah denied using the vulgarity on the show.

As of press time, a MediaCorp spokesman said he could not comment. The spokesman added that more time was needed for a thorough investigation of what actually happened in the studio.

Not all Netizens were up in arms over Seah's alleged trip-up.

In a thread on citizen-journalism site Stomp, BuckteethLCL said: "Give her a chance la... She gets so much criticism in almost anything she does."

Denial of truth is never a good way.

She should not be blamed AT ALL. If anything, blame the stupid Mediacock bosses for putting a her, complete noob, as a live news caster.

Jade Seah just kiss away her professional career :confused:

no lah. sometimes with the right connections, can be very forgiving one. But this episode is the result of the younger generation liking to use the f word and other expletives in their conversation. It is so common that they thought it is normal. When they started work, they will kanna hamtamed by their bosses if not careful.
