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.{{cite news |title=When 'moshi moshi' ruled the airwaves |url=http://www.nst.com.my/nation/general/when-moshi-moshi-ruled-the-airwaves-1.190240 |access-date=3 March 2024 |work=New Straits Times |date=23 December 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121228234033/http://www.nst.com.my/nation/general/when-moshi-moshi-ruled-the-airwaves-1.190240 |archive-date=28 December 2012 |url-status=live }}
