For the Love of a Great Morning DJ 迦玛鲁汀Jamaluddin of 988

19th August 2010. As we were on our way to work. As my usual days 98.8 fm morning talk show 早点说马 from 6.00 am to 8.00 am and 8.10am - 10.00am. But due to my car break down yesterday night so the radio tuning ran off so lazy to tune back and just listen to red fm morning show. 

Suddenly received a call from my mom call in Singapore and informed me something on the radio program that we listens everyday the Malay DJ Jamaluddin has been banned from the morning talk show and the other 2 DJ is crying on air. Me and Brandon got shocked and quickly tuned the frequency to 98.8fm and out of usual talking they put songs.. a very sad song by A-Mei and as soon as the song ended 秋月(qiu yue) sobbing and says that she still felt sad and shocked to accept that 迦玛 (jamaluddin) is no longer allow to be on the show. then the other male DJ 朝吉(chao ji) also speak his heart out over the sudden decision by the Management of 98.8fm as they received complaint on this program's topic making people in Malaysia who listen to this morning show felt discomfort and irritated.  I was like "WHAT!!!" I mean seriously, if you ever had a chance to listen to this program you will only listen to DJ point of view base of their own personal online sources and media updates. They dare to say what is in their mind and they speaks for most of us in Malaysia.  Their conversation never make us feel uncomfortable we never felt irritated. I wonder those people who says that are from which part of the world? Aliens? Buyer? troublemakers?

Let us make a memory of this legend DJ who dare to speak the truth without fearing the ISA or the government body.

Jamaluddin Ibrahim

Jamaluddin Ibra­him is no stranger to the local Chinese community. In fact, he is a household name with them as a 988 radio presenter.  The 48-year-old, who is known as “Jia Ma” (迦玛) to listeners, is even comfortable commenting on any political or local affairs.

Jamaluddin, the son of the then Malayan Communist Party leader Shamsiah Fakeh, certainly has the credentials to do what he enjoys doing.  Born in Beijing, he was educated at the University of Henan and spent 32 years in Hunan province before returning to Malaysia in 1994.

He co-hosts the Chinese radio station’s morning show Say Hi To Malaysia (早点说马) and also regularly writes commentaries in Chinese newspapers and magazines. He was fluent in Mandarin Chinese as spoken in their native language. He also wrote books and contributed articles containing the idea of Chinese newspapers. Meanwhile, Jamal is advising the public to master more languages as this will help them develop careers in many areas even outside the country. For Jamal, the mastery of any one language other than their native language such as Arabic, Indian and Chinese have been giving the opportunity to be a DJ today.

Jia Ma On Air in Say Hi to Malaysia 98.8fm

From his daring comment towards the MCA presidential candidates and even predicting how the MCA would fare under the leadership of Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat, Datuk Seri Chua Soi Lek or Datuk Seri Ong Ka Ting to the latest controversial towards the issue of 1 Malaysia made most of the listeners salute this gentleman to the max as we take him as the crème de la crème among all DJs we know besides those from other countries.

Jia Ma is one of the main reason that me and Brandon that we care for what is going on in Malaysia's political scene as he give great and daring comment.  We love the way and I am sure those listener of 98.8fm love the way he make the political issue sound interesting to for us to care for what is going around us.

I am going to attach this post to my facebook to urge all the listeners and people who love this morning show to leave comment and message to bring Jia Ma back to the scene and let him continue to show the true side of Malaysia. BRING 迦玛 BACK!!! SALUTE TO A TRUE HERO OF MEDIA!!

TO 秋月(QIU YUE), 朝吉(CHAO JI).. NEVER GIVE UP KEEP THE SHOW RUNNING, WE WILL SUPPORT YOU GUYS TILL THE END..
