Regional news and information provider, Channel NewsAsia, has

stepped into Indonesia following an agreement with Kabelvision, an

Indonesian cable TV company.

the country.

Mr Shaun Seow, CEO, MediaCorp News, said: "Indonesia plays an important

role in our plan to launch in the region. With Asia being a region of

increasing importance in the global arena, we are dedicated to providing

our viewers with Asian perspectives of global events to enable them the
