No matter what are the songs the deejay are spinning on the air...i will hummed to it...but my favourites stations are the Warna, Class95 and Perfect10. Those were the times when the deejay are hailed as celebrities and they are more popular back then...and they are still are. But alas, good and great deejay are slowing moving out from the radio industry to be an emcee or TV presenter. Some, are even an actors or actress now. But where can we find those deejay again..who fill up our night with their great choices of songs and entertain us with their witty chats on the air and cracking jokes that even listener laugh their head off and importantly, their soothing and great voice that make us listen to the radio 24hr. Without deejay, we may not know the latest songs, the juicy gossips, the latest 4D number, the important news and the traffic news ( the most important ). That's why...we always had portable radio with us. Even when buying the hand phone, we make sure there is radio that came with it. Don't all of you agreed?

Below is the list some of the deejays that i will always remember and they deserve more than just an awards..

Brian Richmond

He was ever called, the Grandfather of the Radio Station...that's Brian Richmond. Mention his name to any taxi driver.. and they will reply.."aahhh...the local Ang Moh..i like his music..". I love listening to his chatter in the mid afternoon or evening. And he will either spin a lot of oldies, especially country music or the local oldies. Mr Brian Richmond can pass of as grandpa-next-door or your school counsellor, but he is a multi talented man. A comedian, an actor and a great dad. Father to Mark and Don Richmond, he is still active on the air, although he has aged gracefully well and still got that good look although his head is already full of white hair. It seem, its a family traditional for this family...to get everyone involved in the Radio industry..i hope Sol ( Mark & Beatrice son ) will follow grandpa footsteps.

We could vote him for the title of "The Grandpapa of Radio ".

Georgina Chang

She is one of the pioneer batch of deejay from 98.7FM. She also got the most luscious lips and desirable mole in the industry...hehehe ( same goes for Kate Reyes)..she is one the pin-up poster girls of Perfect 10 in the early 90's. Next to Sharon Gomez..whom i heard has left to Hong Kong ages ago...she is a bubbly and versatile person...on/off the screen and radio. Her tantalizing voice is quite husky, that sometimes she could be mistaken for non-local. Back then in the early 90's...she dated fellow personality, Darryl David but heard, they are divorce now. She moved to be a sport presenter but now is back in the radio industry. She was one of my favourite female deejay in the early 90's. I think currently now, she is co-hosting BlogTV with FD.

We could vote her " Miss Sweet Smile "

Vernetta Lopez

Look at this lady...born with a great body, beautiful sweet smile and great personality. A friendly person who never shy away from others. She always say hello even thou, fans are shy to approach. She is born to be on the air..as her voice is SO soothing and sooo desirable. Her jokes and chirpiness could wake us up early in the morning. Currently, she is one of the trio from Class 95. I couldn't find any negative stuff to write about her as i felt she is one of the personality that you will fall in love at first sight . Even from the old TV hits, as Denise in Under One Roof, she won fans for being the ever loving and funny Denise. Married to Mark Richmond in the past, she is now happily married to a British. I am glad she found love again and happy for her. Hopefully, she will have many kids in the future and " please, don't migrate Vernetta..Singapore need a DJ like you.."

We could vote for her " Miss Sexy Radio Personality "



Hubert Tang

Joe Augustine

Although he has left the radio for quite some time...he still have fans coming up to him. One of the famous duo from Class 95fm morning show with FD...its really sad when he left..although FD is fabulous..its just part of him is missing and no other duo can really be at that top like them..even The Married Man from 91.3fm is still not so favourable with some listener. FD and Joe are the classic in the duo partnership especially in the morning. Their jokes make some listener wake up early just to catch their morning show. Their show hit the rating in the radio entertainement industry and when he left..fans felt sad. I was one of them. He is a ever most funny man, next to FD eveer exist in the Singapore Radio. A man who is so versatile and multi talented..

We could vote him " Mr Funnyman of Radio "

Florence Lian

I couldn't say much about her. She is the "Madam" for the english radio station and also one of the judge for the Singapore Idol. Hmmmm..one of the smooth voice and sweet laugh..she doesn't interact much when she is on the air but most of the song she play is very catchy and sentimental hits. What i could say...she look much better on screen and with less make-up, she will look younger. Can't believe that she is in the 40s...she has that natural "Tai-Tai" look...

We could vote for her "The Madam of Radio "

Mark Richmond

This guy with his pan-asian look was a popular heartrob back in the early 90's..he was one of the guys that can make girls knee goes weak and some ladies, fluttering their eyelids to him. Ladies, including me..i was very geeky lah at that time..will rush to the entrance of the mediacorp door if Mark Richmond is having any show. But our heart was broken when he got married to Vernetta Lopez. And again when he remarried Beatrice Chia...sure no chance for some ladies out there...(hehehe..*evil laugh*). But his smooth accent and good pronounciations and choices of songs that he likes to play on the air, always makes him one of the ideal contestant for the Radio DJ award. His smoldering looks and cheeky grins alway an appeal to late teens and early twenties ladies,especially. But still, his choice of migrating from the radio to the screen as sport presenter, is a wise choice..but then again, we miss listening to his voice over the radio.

We could vote for him " Mr HeartBreaker "

Daniel Ong

Everything about this man....there is only one word.."NICE,Polite..every mothers dream son-in-law"..well anyway, he is taken..and soon to be a dad. He quit from Perfect10 just to stay at home and be a full time dad. I salute Daniel Ong for his sacriffice for being a parent. He is tooo polite to even scold the young listener..hahahah. Anyway...he is so much nicer than his brother..the brutal Glenn Ong..

Daniel Ong is now a proud daddy of a baby girl

We could vote him "Mr Nice Guy"

The Flying Dutchman

This man is a "Legend" among the deejays in Singapore. And for 14 years he's on the air, i seldom miss his segment or show..love him..his jokes and natural art of funny faces. I won't miss listening to him eversince during the old times duo with Joe Augustine. A truly heartland singaporean..he is more "local" than the local as the saying goes. I seen him eating at the hawker centre..not "paiseh" of his status of a celebrity. He brought his grnadson to the park..just like any grandfather will do. He travel so simple, no limosine. He went marketing with his wife. Spend Sundays with the family's. He has no "Arrogance Air" around him. He is also a humble person. Never lack a smile from his face. A great personality...and he will always quotes word of wisdom from the famous people.

We could vote for him " The King Of Radio Deejays "

Glenn Ong

Do you know this man? Have you heard of his name? He is so opposite of his brother, Daniel Ong. He is so popular for being a "The Naughty One"...he break so many hearts when he got married for the 2nd time to Jamie Yeo!!!! and now are together with Jean Danker...can you believe it?? Is he going to turn up like Jack Neo??Well, at least he got the looks, height, body and with all that tattoos to go along with..a perfect package for a fling..well..he is slightly nicer now..after the divorce and he mind his words now...and i love the 3 trio much more. I hope this time he find..everlasting love..yoohoooo Glenn...u go boy!!

pssttt...and he also have that smooth sexy voice that sometimes make girls drool..and the songs that he play..are always catchy...and rocks...love you glenn..

We could vote him ...." The Prince of Radio "....
