Hi Sujadi, You are right. A few more Singaporeans now know that you are indeed a Singaporean. Interesting posting on Mejulah and DTW. Well done and keep your fire burning.

Hi Sujadi,
1st time into CNA blog. Like your “Majulah”. Perhaps the spirit of rootedness in you is strong to Singapore.
Bangga for you.
Selamat Hari Raya / Salam Lebaran
It was nice and interesting to read your blog.
Next year if sing again on Ogos Nine, dont forget to invite me . Its my birthday
Hi Mr Siswo,
How are you doing?
I’ve been watching your several report about our country for CNA. Smoking public area, Porong Mud etc., was informative enough.
Thats when i was joint with Persda Kompas in Batam. Cant wait your report about Jakarta and any part of Indonesia. That because i missed Jakarta very much at that moment.
In my way, i really wanna be like you and many other young smart Indonesian who work for international media, such BBC, Al Jazeera and of course Channel News Asia. The point is, considered Indonesia has large area of course not easy to cover it up, since the diversity of our country is something to international learn with.
I would like to learn from you, and be your correspondent, especially how work with international media. At this moment i work for TV ONE as reporter, but then my resolution for this year is working in international media. My passion to learn and to keep on my trace in journalism hall.
May you considered if you have a requirement for that objective. Thank you and have a nice day.
Keep journalism alive!
hi! Mr Siswo
are you an Indonesian?
I heard that you are a great man.
I think you should give a report about “Pulau Sumatera”or anything else about Indonesia like the “Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi (KPK)”
Sorry, I have to go now. Have a nice day mr siswo
