My First TV and Radio Appearance

"Wah Choon Sian, you are very famous now! Well done!"

This was a typical praise I received as a result of appearing on the news, TV and radio station to share about Wake Up Call global campaign. I would never have imagined myself speaking in front of the National TV and radio. The experience was so amazing and exciting! Now I understand better how the media industry operates. Those Public Relation theories that I learned in class were finally put into practice.


Wake Up Call Malaysia was featured on Agenda Awani, Channel 501 on Feb 23 at 8.30pm. Together with me were Mohd. Afiq, our Art Director, and the friendly host - Ernie Sharyati.

Choon Sian was on the media.
Choon Sian was with the DJs on BFM 89.9 - The Business Station.
My experience with the media let me realize the importance of having a high command of language. I need to further brush up my English and Malay, as well as the skill in articulating. I was a bit puzzled whether to look at the cameras or the host when I spoke. But now I know the answer. :)

I may be recently seen as a politics activist, which by all means I am not. I do not affiliate with any political party, but I do care about politics just the way I care for my family. I just have the aspiration to do greater good for my country.
