Speaker 2: Saiful joins me now. Saiful, you weren't our Indonesia correspondent

25
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:31,060
Speaker 2: yet when the blasts happened. But do you remember where

26
00:01:31,060 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 2: you were when you heard the news? What was your reaction?

27
00:01:35,190 --> 00:01:38,410
Speaker 2: Well, Theresa, I was probably in bed during the blast

28
00:01:38,410 --> 00:01:41,940
Speaker 2: because it happened at around 11 p.m. I think many

29
00:01:41,940 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 2: people woke up the next morning in shock and disbelieve

30
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,790
Speaker 2: when they heard news about that deadly attack. That was

31
00:01:48,790 --> 00:01:50,370
Speaker 2: also my reaction

32
00:01:50,550 --> 00:01:53,850
Speaker 2: fight and frightened actually because it happened so close to

33
00:01:53,850 --> 00:01:56,559
Speaker 2: home in Singapore. I have a few friends in bali

34
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,450
Speaker 2: at that time and one of the things I did

35
00:01:58,450 --> 00:02:00,970
Speaker 2: was to try and call them up and check if

36
00:02:00,970 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 2: they were okay, fortunately they were all right but shaken

37
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:05,910
Speaker 2: definitely by the terrible incident.

38
00:02:06,730 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 2: Yeah. I was in high school at the time and

39
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,870
Speaker 2: it didn't really impact me then. But when I visited

40
00:02:11,870 --> 00:02:14,870
Speaker 2: bali subsequently I went to the memorial, it's so hard

41
00:02:14,870 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 2: to miss and it's such a huge part of bali's

42
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,730
Speaker 2: history now that locals don't want to forget. So cycle

43
00:02:19,730 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 2: as a correspondent, you recently walked that stretch of road

44
00:02:22,930 --> 00:02:26,769
Speaker 2: in Kuta to talk to people. What are the sentiments today?

45
00:02:26,780 --> 00:02:31,150
Speaker 2: Is that incident still on people's minds? Yeah, definitely. People

46
00:02:31,150 --> 00:02:33,410
Speaker 2: still talk about it. It's hard for people not to

47
00:02:33,410 --> 00:02:35,540
Speaker 2: talk about it, especially when they walked
