"Firman Chandra Siregar (25 years old) is our alumnus. He graduated in 2011 with the cumlaude title. We wish for his safety and the safety of all passengers on the plane," lecturer at Bandung Technology Institute Pekik Argo Dahoni stated here on Tuesday.
Pekik, who was direct supervisor for Firman while the latter was in college, stated that Firman was a hardworking student. "My last communication with him was when he asked for a recommendation letter to apply for a job in Beijing," pointed out Pekik.
