The Commercial Radio Malaysia (CRM) announced Bala Murali Subramaney, the Chief Technology Officer representing Astro Media Solutions Sdn Bhd (formerly known as Capital FM Sdn Bhd) as the President and the re-election of Mohamed Hairul Ekzan Bin Mohamed Hisham, Vice President of Operations & Growth of Radio Kita Sdn Bhd as Vice-President at its 25th Annual General Meeting.

The meeting also appointed, Janice Woo Meow Yin, Head of Finance of Radio Lebuhraya Sdn Bhd as the Honorary Secretary and Mindy Chin Hui Min, Senior Executive, Research & Digital Analytics of Star Media Radio Group Sdn Bhd as the Honorary Treasurer.

The Vice President, Mohamed Hairul Ekzan Bin Mohamed Hisham, fondly known as Loy said, “Firstly, I am deeply honored by the decision of the board to renew my mandate as Vice President for another term. Radio is now living through the post-pandemic phase where it not only focuses on-air and delivering digital content but also to bring back physical on-ground presence. In order to sustain listenership, radio stations must merge both traditional and new age methods to reach out to the target audience, especially the younger generation.”

CRM, incorporated in 1994, was previously known as MACRO (Malaysian Association of Commercial Radio Operators) and is the only association in Malaysia for commercial radio operators broadcasting in this country. As an association, CRM works to coordinate regulatory issues, promote listener engagement activities, organise outreach programmes for undergraduates, and share resources for research ratings.
