KUCHING, Feb 10: Former Minister of Health Khairy Jamaluddin or KJ, as he is widely known as, will start his new career as a radio presenter for Hot FM next week.
According to a report by MalayMail, the radio station said in a statement that the former Rembau MP will start work on Feb 15.
He will join the Hot FM’s “Bekpes Hot” segment team alongside announcers Johan, Fara Fauzana, and AG, who are on air from Monday to Friday, between 6am and 10am.
It was also reported that Media Prima Audio chief executive officer Nazri Noran has expressed his gratitude to have Khairy on board to provide fresher content for listeners.
Hot FM had also posted a video clip of yesterday morning’s segment, during which the hosts had called up Khairy to ask him whether he would be joining them.
One of the hosts asked, “Now we want to know whether KJ will become a DJ of Hot FM. On tak on (Yes or no)?”
To this, Khairy responded, “On (Yes). Let’s go.”
On Jan 28, Hot FM has shared a copy of an offer letter to Khairy on social media, openly requesting him to join the morning segment.
The offer came following Khairy’s expulsion from United Malays National Organisation (UMNO) last month. ― DayakDaily
