I have experienced as Broadcast Journalist in TV3 for Majalah Tiga, to ensure the smooth run of the programme, the unit usually meets every week to discuss the contents for a month ahead. The job is very hectic and as a Broadcast Journalist, you are to find a good story while at the same time you have to direct the Cameraman for the best shorts and location. The best experience I have ever had was my interview with two Russian Cosmonauts.

In MetroVision, I assisted the General Manager of Programming to acquire and schedule TV programmes from A to Z. To acquire programmes, the team is bound to go to Hollywood to get the contents from the major distributors such as Beuna International Television (provides Disney shows), Warner Brothers (provides sitcoms and dramas), Columbia Tristar International Television (provides sitcoms and dramas too), Twentieth Century Fox and also Paramount Pictures. Besides the major distributors, we are also to deal with those moderate companies such as Carsey-Werner Mandabach who produces and distributes TV sitcoms such as That Õ70 Show. With the experience I gained from the local TV companies, I applied it while I was in Telekom Malaysia as they want to diversify their business in multimedia industry.
