Editing Dubbing (section)

====Singapore====
In multilingual [[Singapore]], dubbing is rare for western programs. English-language programs on the free-to-air terrestrial channels are usually subtitled in Chinese or Malay. Chinese, Malay and Tamil programs (except for news bulletins and other live shows), usually have subtitles in English and the original language during the prime time hours. [[Dual sound]] programs, such as Korean, Japanese and Filipino dramas,<ref>{{cite web |title=Upclose and Personal with Gerald Anderson|url=https://thefifthparlour.com/2013/05/12/upclose-and-personal-with-gerald-anderson/ |website=The Fifth Parlour |access-date=24 January 2025 |date=13 May 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=ABS-CBN program that became famous abroad|url=https://www.pep.ph/news/local/143432/abs-cbn-programs-that-became-famous-abroad-a770-a2670-20190523-lfrm?s=thobpeiijs8tb6h2h4ufo40c8s |website=PEP.ph |access-date=23 January 2025 |date=23 May 2019}}</ref> offer sound in the original languages with subtitles, Mandarin-dubbed and subtitled, or English-dubbed. The [[Speak Mandarin Campaign|deliberate policy to encourage Mandarin]] among citizens made it required by law for programs in other Chinese dialects ([[Min Nan|Hokkien]], Cantonese and [[Teochew dialect|Teochew]]) to be dubbed into Mandarin, with the exception of traditional operas. Cantonese and Hokkien shows from Hong Kong and Taiwan, respectively, are available on VCD and DVD. In a recent development, news bulletins are subtitled into the language of the channel they air on.
