History

As Radio Malaysia Ibukota, in 1985, RMIK aired 15-minute Japanese lessons under the title "Moshi Moshi", hosted by deejay Mohamed Nor Mohamed Amin, known as Noramin, previously worked with Radio Japan. Airing weekdays at 5:30 pm, the lessons would start by playing a Japanese song, followed by asking listeners to start their calls with the "Moshi Moshi" greeting. The show received positive reception by listeners and the press.^[3]

As Radio Malaysia Kuala Lumpur (RMKL), in 2001, Zullastree Muhammad joined RMKL after three audition attempts. His first stint was for the 3 am shift, then for the midnight shift and eventually for various segments in the daytime. By this point, RMKL already had 24 hour-broadcasting. Zullastree eventually became the longest serving KL FM announcer.^[1]

On 26 December 2004, RMKL became the first RTM outlet to provide continuous coverage on the 2004 Aceh tsunami at 12:15 am.^[4]
