`RCTI' false pictures

From Kompas

I never fail to follow RCTI's Seputar Indonesia which presents more interesting reports and information than those broadcast by TVRI.

However, on July 7, 1994 RCTI broadcasted in this program a report on the CGI (Consultative Group for Indonesia) meeting. It began with showing the Eiffel Tower to inform the viewers that the event was taking place in Paris. Then the camera was directed to the building where the meeting was taking place. To my astonishment, I saw the late Mr. Doddy Tisna Amidjaya, who was ambassador to France, among the participants. This gave the impression that the former ambassador is still active and involved in discussing Indonesian debt.

I could not believe my eyes, how could the late ambassador suddenly be alive. I felt as if I was dreaming.
