He was the lead reporter for the economics beat and covered international events like the IMF/World Bank meetings, WTO Ministerial Conference, ASEAN finance ministers meeting and Asia-Europe Economic Ministers (ASEM) meeting. He was also sent to cover the economic crisis in Jakarta in 1998, witnessing first-hand street protests which precipitated the fall of the Suharto government.
