P : Waalaikumsalam, and Mr. Tarekh as one of the winners of this quiz. How do you feel?

T : Actually I am thrilled sort of speak because I never thought that I would win because you know that stuffy don't expect something and then it happen, but I was really thrilled when I saw that my name is among the winners because actually the first five winners my name was not included but one of the winners apologized so I replace him so I am the lucky loser, you may say.

P : Okay, when did you get the information that you are the winner?

T : A week from today.

P : So, you are here in Indonesia, in Jakarta and attend the celebration of the 67th anniversary of the radio Republic of Indonesia. Now, talking about radio Mr. Tarekh, how did you participate in this quiz? I mean through our short wave program or to internet?

T : Yes, meanly I am short wave listener since 1984. I have been begging up different radio station. I have been move trying a lot of radio station since then. Radio Indonesia is the first time I have picked up the Voice of Indonesia. It was about 1992 the English section and then later on now with the internet it helped me to you know get a little bit more info about Voice Of Indonesia the languages that you transmit with and I don't know that you have not orbit section but now I am little bit listen to orbit section every day from 6 to 7 my local time in Cairo and the English section but now there are some difficulties of speaking of the English section. Actually because a lot of interviews from another radio station on the same frequency of 9526. So, how you know this one and I knew about the quiz through some of my friends that we have sort of a club on the Facebook that we exchange the latest changes about different radio station. I picked up the Voice Of Indonesia in that frequency for instance in Idul Fitri. Voice of Indonesia was not transmitting, so, after Idul Fitri I picked it up and I made a note to my friends worldwide Voice Of Indonesia is now back on 9526 so we can listen to their programs and they were very happy actually because we are a little bit worried about the short wave, you know a lot of stations are now moved to the internet and so on, but I just wanna lead you know that there is a lot of people are still interested in listening to you guys on the short wave banned, so please keep that on mind.

P : Okay, good. Thank you.

T : Thank you.

P : Okay, Mr. Tarekh Zeidan before we are talking about radio. So what's role do you think the radio play as the public service today? I mean the existence of other electronic media like a social media, internet media. Do you think that the short wave radio will be still dying in the future?

T : From my point of view. I think the short wave will remain. I know that a lot of people now are relying on the internet or satellite or all these. But I was talking to one of the winners of the quiz and he lives in Europe and he said when we get let say an electricity out stage if we think dies but the short wave because south wave is gift from God to everybody can used it and it's there I mean even in Egypt, I have radio with me with the batteries. I don't have to use the electricity or I think and I begging up to the different stations and the furthermore I know that when all the facilities die like the internet, satellite and everything, south wave is there unequal remain there are. So, this is very important a lot of listeners are still listening to south wave banned and they will keep on listening to short wave banned even some of my friends are living particular close to Indonesia, like Srilanka, or India. They are really made about begging up to local radio stations from Indonesia. Though they do not understand Bahasa Indonesia, but they enjoy listening to the music. You know even there is an news in English about some local activities taking place in this island or something. It helps to gain information, how would I get information about Indonesia if I am not listening to radio Indonesia for instance. I mean is a main source of information for us worldwide to know more about the culture, to know more about the people, to know more about Indonesia.

P : Okay, talking about radio Republic Indonesia RRI World Service Voice of Indonesia and we have some segments like information, entertainment, culture, education. So which segments do you?

T : Actually I prefer the musical section especially the traditional Indonesian music. It gives you like you know sort of that feeling that you are sort of listening to some conceptions all some music as well because I am all guys. So, I enjoy listening to traditional music more than the new trend music. I know that you played a lot of sort of hip hop Indonesian music as well. It is okay but I prefer listening to the traditional Indonesian music. It makes me you have the nostalgia of the good all days as I said.

P : Okay, so do you have any suggestions for our program?

T : Well, if I may suggest anything, I was say about the program about the ex of short wave would be great. I mean a lot of listeners now are would love to participate on that on positive that also are listening to me right now would be more than happy to participate in editing such program.

P : Okay, so how's the flight from Finland?

M : Oh, it was long but it was quite okay. 15 and a half from Germany together it was about almost 20 hours.

P : Okay, yes Mr. Mauno as you know that this quiz is organized based on the celebration of Indonesian Radio Republic Indonesia 67th anniversary. So, talking about radio, so what do you think or how do you evaluate the existence of radio at this time admit the growing the fast growing of other kind of media like social media, televisions, and internet media at present?

M : Well, radio is importance is a bit less than in earlier time especially among young people but all the people still listen to radio a lot time also young people listen to musical program and so on, and adult also used broadcast to listen to radio program scent. Of course radio program are listened via internet a lot these days. But, I think, radio will survive anyways. That's all always been said when TV came they said there will be known ready about radio will survive, I think.

P : And as you know that our broadcast RRI Voice of Indonesia is broadcast to south wave and also internet and when you were joining the quiz, where did you get the information from the south wave or the internet ones?

M : Internet. I heard about it in the internet.

P : And do you still have a south wave radio at home?

P : Are there still many people in Finland who are listening to do south wave or program south wave broadcast?

M : Not very many. It has lost popularity quite a bit. I think they are mostly old people lower 50 who listen to the south wave.

P : And some people say that if you want to get the faster information so tuned on your radio. So what do you think about this?

M : I still believe in, at least in our country our national radio is faster in bringing news than newspaper for example. Many people most people listen to radio to catch the latest news of course the media who that transmits or give the program. It maybe also in internet but still household in Finland they have radios.

P : And they are listening to an FM radio?

And so many stations can still be found controlled by them not only at all in the internet. There are many rural areas since then. There are south wave stations in Brazil for example. There are quite a bit of south stations.
