Live on air: KJ will join Hot FM as radio deejay

 

Media Prima Audio (MPA) confirmed today that former health minister Khairy Jamaluddin will start work as a radio presenter at Hot FM next Wednesday.

In a statement, MPA said Khairy will be on the airwaves to host the ‘Bekpes Hot’ segment from Feb 15.

According to a report by Berita Harian, Khairy confirmed in a telephone interview on ‘Bekpes Hot’ that he will be joining the popular radio station.

MPA stated that Hot FM's offer to Khairy was made through an open letter on Instagram last week for a radio presenter position who will be on duty every Monday to Friday, from 6am to 10am.

It added that in line with Hot FM’s “The Warmest and Best” tagline, MPA hopes Khairy's presence as a pillar of ‘Bekpes Hot’ will give the radio channel fresh impetus.

Fresh breath of air for radio

MPA chief executive officer Nazri Noran said Hot FM took the opportunity to offer Khairy the position to ensure fresh and relevant content for ‘Bekpes Hot’ listeners.

"Khairy is not only a great politician and leader but also an influencer who has a great impact on Malaysians.

"His presence will not only give listeners something different through the pairing of politicians, comedians, and radio presenters, but a new dimension for the country's radio landscape," he added.

Khairy served three terms as Rembau MP before he lost in the recent general election to PKR's R Ramanan in the contest for Sungai Buloh.

Aside from helming the Health Ministry, he was also once the science, technology, and innovation minister as well as the youth and sports minister. - Mkini
