i blogged about bfm 2 years ago. it is by far, the BEST radio station in malaysia, if not in this region!
a common misconception is that it only talks about business, stock market etc. far from it! there's also talks on culture, on people, interviews with doctors, as well as ceos, business owners etc.
[you know, the best way to access a person's mind is to speak to him/her personally. observe how he/she answers, the thought process behind it and also the body language. all these tell a lot more than some press cuttings or some journalist's summation. now, on the radio, we can't study the body language but we could still pay attention to the tone, and pay more attention to the wordings and the content. often times, this is more than sufficient to read a person.
this is why it's great to listen to interviews. you learn more "in between the words", rather like reading between the lines.]
anyway, i'm digressing! this morning, listened to this interview of a fascinating malaysian woman. fascinating as she is really doing something that has a profound impact on society. you must have heard of folks going into politics to help out the needy? well, here's one lady who's doing it and not via political means.
she is none other than united nations assistant secretary general for peace building support judy cheng-hopkins. here is some info about her.
on the interview, she talks about her role in helping to rebuild a country after war. hey, after years of fighting, sooner or later, people will get tired of fighting and will lay down arms. so this is where he group steps in to help them get back on track for life to go on.
here's the podcast.
by the way, did i mention she's also the first malaysian listed by forbes as among the 10 most powerful women in united nations?
so next time you listen to the radio, why not listen to bfm rather than some juvenile station? great content, great music!
