Out of order during `Telekuis'

Out of order during `Telekuis'

From Suara Karya

On Aug. 24, Wednesday evening, a private television station which was celebrating its fifth anniversary was airing a quiz program titled "Knowing Our Country," promising most attractive prizes. Viewers who would like to answer the questions posed could dial a number which was announced by the station and the first caller giving the right answer would win a certain sum of money. That night the prizes ranged from Rp 3 million to Rp 6 million.

However, imagine our disappointment when we lifted our telephone handset and found it totally silent, though it worked again after the program was over. This has also happened at other times, always when the Telekuis program was on the air. The same happened to our neighbors and acquaintances in the Depok area.

Perhaps someone who knows the procedures and is acquainted with the telecom business wanted to increase the chance of winning the prize for himself by eliminating that of others in the Depok area and perhaps also elsewhere.

As a PT Telkom subscriber who faithfully and punctually pays his dues I feel that my rights have been violated and hope that there will be no recurrence of this in the future.
