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.
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.
On 26 December 2004, RMKL became the first RTM outlet to provide continous coverage on the 2004 Aceh tsunami at 12:15 am.
