At that time, I had just joined RIA, so as a newbie, I had to be attached to a senior DJ,\u201d recalls Far.<\/p>\n<p>On that day, Far was attached to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/fadli_kamsani\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Fadli Kamsani<\/a> on a weekend shift. The show was to start at 10am and he arrived 40 minutes early to Mediacorp, and was walking along the corridor of radio studios.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are glass panels so you can look through to see inside the main studio area. I glanced inside and I saw Fadli right at the end of the [room]. He was resting his head on the table, so I just thought to myself \u2018Oh he\u2019s early today\u2019,\u201d says Far.<\/p>\n<p>Far didn\u2019t think much about it, and decided to go to the toilet before heading into the studio.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs I opened the door, I was ready to say \u2018Good Morning! Selamat Pagi!\u2019, I was [super cheerful], ready to greet Fadli, but when I looked over, he wasn\u2019t there, and I kind of froze,\u201d he continues.<\/p>\n<p>Far wondered if he was seeing things and told himself that maybe Fadli had gone to the toilet, or left the room to grab a bite.<\/p>\n<p>Far settled down and that\u2019s when the\u00a0actual Fadli entered the room.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI asked him \u2018Bro where did you go?\u2019, and he told me he had just arrived,&#8221; he says.\u00a0\u201cI could have sworn I saw someone resting his or her head on the table, just [slumped over on the table] there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To this day,\u00a0Far never discovered who \u2014 or what \u2014 he had seen in the studio that Saturday morning.<\/p>\n<p>Photos: Far Anwar<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"If you\u2019re a fan of creepy, spine chilling stories, you should have a chat with RIA 897 DJ&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":44732,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[156,39598,410,39601,39599,157,111,139,69,39595,39600,39597,39594,39596],"class_list":{"0":"post-44731","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-far-anwar","10":"tag-horror","11":"tag-hungry-ghost-month","12":"tag-mediacorp","13":"tag-music","14":"tag-new-zealand","15":"tag-newzealand","16":"tag-nz","17":"tag-paranormal","18":"tag-radio-dj","19":"tag-ria-897","20":"tag-scary","21":"tag-supernatural"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44731","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=44731"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44731\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/44732"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=44731"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=44731"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=44731"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
