“All television stations will be invited via the KPI to meet Lentera Indonesia on Tuesday,” Helga Worotitjan said.
During the 10th anniversary celebration of Trans Corp., which was aired live on Trans TV and Trans7 television stations on Thursday evening Olga, who was dressed up in a costume of kuntilanak (female ghost), was asked what had caused his death.
Olga replied that he had died after being raped by an angkot (public minivan) driver.
There were several rape cases reported recently involving angkot drivers, in Jakarta and Depok, West Java.
