The World Radio Day remains largely
unknown in Madagascar as it is still fairly new in the Indian Ocean
island country after introduced only two years ago.
The day is set on Feb. 13 by the
United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization
(UNESCO).
"I like to listen the radio but I
do not know that today is the World Radio Day," Felana, a student
at Antananarivo university, told Xinhua on Wednesday.
"I listen to the radio every day
but I don't know that there is that World Radio Day," Raparany, a
police official, told Xinhua.
"What a shame, I don't heard yet
this World Radio Day," a government official asking not to be
identified told Xinhua.
Asked why Malagasy people do not
know the World Radio Day, Secretary General of the Malagasy
National Commission for UNESCO Cyril Mihamitsy said because the
celebration of the day began in the world last year.
