Former Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin, fondly known as KJ, makes his debut as a radio announcer at the local radio station Hot FM starting today, 15 February.
The 46-year-old confirmed that he will be co-hosting the morning ‘Bekpes Hot’ segment with radio announcers Johan, Fara Fauzana and AG. KJ will be on air from 6 AM to 10 AM from Monday to Friday.
KJ verified that becoming a radio announcer is not his first job post after the 15th General Election (GE15).
“I have some work. Some business. I have an appointment in (a) university, and (being) a researcher overseas,” he said when co-hosting the Bekpes Hot segment this morning.
The politician served as health minister under former Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob from August 2021 to November 2022 and was a former Rembau member of parliament. However, he lost the Sungai Buloh parliamentary seat in GE15 and was sacked from Umno for violating the party’s Constitution last month.
Throughout the four-hour Bekpes Hot segment, KJ spoke to callers on various topics such as football, fitness, hobbies as well as urban planning. As he is no longer an elected representative, he hopes to have time to ride his motorcycle again and he has taken up golfing.
Asked by Johan and AG how he felt after co-hosting the morning segment, KJ said it was a good experience and hopes to continue working at Hot FM. But, he jokingly said he was tired as he need to start working at 6 AM.
“I need the stamina (to do this). I respect you both.”
