The advertisement for RCTI's slogan is indeed attached to the people's memory. In this advertisement that ran from August 24, 1996 to August 24, 1998, Noor became a trader selling fruit and vegetables at a floating market in South Kalimantan.

There is no sentence spoken by Noor in the ad. He just sat on the boat, then smiled while giving a thumbs up while accompanied by the background music. Because at that time there were not many private television stations and these advertisements were regularly aired, this is why Noor's character is remembered.

Summarized from various sources, Noor received IDR 40 thousand when he became the star of the RCTI slogan advertisement. After that, this woman who lives in Banjarmasin, South Kalimantan, reportedly sold cakes with a small income.
