Radio Canggai Putri FM 105.3MHz from Karimun, Indonesia received in Singapore (2017)

Back to November 2017, I had a holiday trip with my family at cruise from Singapore to Penang, then Penang to Phuket, and last Phuket to Singapore. We started journey by bus from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore Marina Bay. So, I planned to receive One FM Johor Bahru frequency 105.3MHz from Taman Sentosa tower when I reached Singapore.

 

When the bus was on the way going to Singapore Marina Bay, we will pass through ICA (Singapore's Immigration & Checkpoint Authority) checkpoint in Tuas. 

 

Before I entered ICA counter, I tried to receive FM 105.3MHz in Tuas Checkpoint. On the frequency FM 105.3MHz, there was no One FM (Malaysia Chinese radio station by Media Prima Ripple) from Taman Sentosa in Tuas, Singapore, instead an unknown and strange Indonesian language radio station.

 

It is LPPL (Lembaga Penyiaran Publik Lokal) Radio Canggai Putri FM 105.3MHz from Karimun, Indonesia actually. Tuas was my very first Singapore location to receive this Indonesia radio station from Karimun.

 

Then, after an hour from Tuas, I reached Marina Bay before entering the cruise (Royal Carribean Mariner of The Seas). In Marina Bay area, FM 105.3MHz was also Radio Canggai Putri FM 105.3MHz from Karimun, Indonesia. I filmed a footage and recorded audio clip at the cruise before it started journey from Singapore.

 

Many One FM listeners in South Johor areas like Nusajaya claimed that the reception of One FM 105.3MHz from TM Taman Sentosa was having interference from Indonesia radio station. This means One FM 105.3MHz was having CCI with Radio Canggai Putri (Karimun, Indonesia) in that location.

When FM 105.3MHz is weak signal of Radio Canggai Putri from Karimun Island in Singapore, this means One FM 105.3MHz Taman Sentosa transmitter doesn't beam to Singapore direction, but beam only northeast direction. Kranji, Woodlands, Lim Chu Kang and Yishun are likely only Singapore areas to receive One FM 105.3MHz from Johor Bahru, Malaysia.

Here are two footage of Radio Canggai Putri FM 105.3MHz from Karimun, Indonesia signal received in Singapore areas such as Tuas and Marina Bay:

 

In Singapore, the signal reception of Radio Canggai Putri FM 105.3MHz is weak, and having interference from nearer and clearer Radio Republik Indonesia (RRI) Batam PRO-1 FM 105.1MHz and PRO-2 FM 105.5MHz.
