"The Telegraph" (Kolkata) reported on January 5, 2009:

<blockquote>
A major lacuna in [[tribal society|tribal societies]] is the absence of documentation of their cultural wealth and of recognizing personalities who have enriched their culture through songs, [[poetry]], [[literature]], and the [[performing arts]]. Khasi bard, singer, and radio artist Skendrowell Syiemlieh spent a good part of his adult life serving the society through songs for which he created his own lyrics and tune. Every singer is in some ways a historian who is either lamenting the current state of affairs, extolling the immediate past or inspiring hope for the future. The Khasis have a natural flair for singing. This is perhaps one reason why no one is celebrated as an outstanding singer. Syiemlieh died this year, unsung and unrecognised by his own people. It took a [[Guwahati]]-based trust, the Jeewan Ram Mungi Devi Goenka (JRMDG) [[Charitable Trust]], to recognise this humble soul with a [[lifetime achievement award]], posthumously, on December 6, 2008.<ref>[https://www.telegraphindia.com/1090105/jsp/northeast/story_10339194.jsp "Northeast Echoes", The Telegraph, 5 Jan 2009]</ref>
