Tisna's weekly awareness-raising TV-program, now in its 94th episode, runs under the title of "Si Kabayan Nyintreuk." Kabayan is a witty figure in the folk tales of West Java, who often gets into trouble, but who is quite clever, although a bit lazy. Tisna takes on the role of Kabayan, making him a keen observer of social situations that are damaging or are not beneficial to the common good, commenting them with humor. According to Tisna, this has helped to correct situations, and has got the authorities to improve things.
