Thirty voices who once filled Malaysia’s living rooms with music, manners and meaning reunited on Feb 14 — and for one day, Radio Malaysia’s Blue Network lived again.
Thirty voices who once filled Malaysia’s living rooms with music, manners and meaning reunited on Feb 14 — and for one day, Radio Malaysia’s Blue Network lived again.

On Feb 14, 2026, the National Press Club Malaysia hosted 30 veterans of Radio Malaysia’s Rangkaian Biru.

Among those present were A. Radhakrishnan Krishnan, Razally Hussin, Neubert Ambros, Tunku Atikah Tunku Mohamed and Yasmin Yusuff.

Yasmin was quoted by Free Malaysia Today (FMT) as saying: “We entertained but we were also shaping how English sounded in Malaysian homes. That responsibility stayed with you long after the red light went off.”

Tunku Atikah, once the head of the English service, offered a reminder of the bigger picture.

“We were bridging spaces between races, between regions, between generations. Radio made that possible without ever raising its voice,” she said.
