JAKARTA - Saipul Jamil is preparing to appear on television again. After receiving a petition for a boycott from netizens, the KPI (Indonesian Broadcasting Commission) stated that Saipul Jamil was allowed to appear on television.

Previously, Saipul admitted to Hotman Paris that he had lost several jobs after a letter from KPI had circulated. His brother, M. Soleh Kawi also said that Saipul suffered losses due to the boycott of the netizens.

Now, Saipul Jamil will appear on television. Even though it hasn't mentioned where it will appear, not a few hope that Saipul won't get as popular as it used to be.

So will the boycott that netizens have launched against Saipul Jamil will have an impact on his career? VOI spoke with Ilham Bintang, a senior journalist and entertainment industry observer responding to questions.
