Suggestions to TV management

From Neraca

Every TV station tries hard to win as many viewers as possible by broadcasting interesting programs including quiz games such as Lifebouy or Tak Tik Boom, (RCTI), Benyamin Show, (TPI) Berpacu dalam melody (Musical quiz), Siapa Dia (Who is he/she?, TVRI). We have to admit that the idea of broadcasting the quiz programs belongs to Ani Sumadi of TVRI.

Very often the quiz winners, though, for humanitarian reasons, do not accept the prizes instead opting to give them to Orphanage Institutions and let Ani Sumadi decide which institution is the recipient.

So far, tens or maybe hundreds of prizes go the orphanage institutions via Sumadi. Some of the prizes are in cash and others in the forms of materials. However, the viewers are curious to know whether the prizes ever get delivered to the institutions concerned. It might be fair for TVRI to broadcast the delivery of the prizes to the institutions as per the wish of the winners.

The Social Service in Jakarta told me that they have never received reports from Orphanage foundations about that matter. The Social Service must know which foundation is entitled to receive aid. This is to ensure that the aid (quiz prizes) is justly distributed among the existing foundations.
