SINGAPORE: Some 2,100 calls were made to the MediaCorp news
hotline during the month of December last year, a 100-per-cent increase
compared to the month before.
The hotline calls are followed up by reporters from across MediaCorp's news platforms, namely Channel NewsAsia, Radio and TODAY.
40-year-old financial planner Phillip Lee was the winner of the 2008
MediaCorp hotline contest. He won a trip for two to Cebu, Philippines.
He called the MediaCorp hotline about being stuck on the Singapore Flyer.
The giant observation wheel ground to a halt in December due to an electrical fire.
Lee was among the more than 170 passengers who were stuck in their capsules for over six hours.
The MediaCorp news hotline can be reached at 6822-2268. - CNA
