Suffian writes to Simail Bin Ali about what is considered an acceptable broadcast tone for British audiences. He notes that British audiences prefer a calm and collected tone for their broadcasts. However he claims that since these Radio Malaya broadcasts are intended for Malay audiences it might be better the tone matches the preferences of those audiences, which is closer to the French or American style of broadcasting (urgent and declamatory). He also notes that Malays are not often trusted to appear on the air or take charge of their own broadcasts. He notes that in Chinese and Japanese occupied areas Malays are employed and are more effective broadcasters for Malaysian audiences. He says this matches the general sentiment of the Malayan population in British Malaya, and that unless something is changed, they will continue to prefer other stations.
