From 13th to 15th November 2024, adventure and broadcast history combine as Hot FM’s Bekpes Hot crew – Johan, AG, Fara Fauzana, and Khairy Jamaluddin (KJ), former Health Minister and beloved figure in Malaysian politics – attempt to set a new Malaysia Book of Records title for the Longest Non-Stop Radio Broadcast While Climbing Mount Kinabalu. In partnership with Amazing Borneo, Sabah’s premier land tour operator, this ambitious mission, Tawan Puncak Kinabalu, will bring audiences closer to the action, inspiring Malaysians nationwide. 

Listeners and fans are invited to climb alongside the Bekpes Hot crew, share the trail with Malaysia’s favourite DJs, and experience Mount Kinabalu’s breathtaking scenery. For those who book, it’s a rare opportunity to witness the record-breaking attempt live and in person. 

Meet Khairy Jamaluddin and the Bekpes Hot Crew on the Trail 

Malaysians everywhere are invited to tune in or even join the climb on the same dates as Johan, AG, Fara Fauzana, and Khairy Jamaluddin (KJ), experiencing this historic event alongside Malaysia’s favourite personalities. This is a rare opportunity to share the journey with KJ, a figure respected nationwide for his role in public health and now a dynamic part of the Bekpes Hot morning crew. 

The crew will be joined by local celebrity porter and TikTok star Javy Mius – popularly known as Jvy Waterproof – who is a two-time guest of Bekpes Hot. A representative of Amazing Borneo, Jvy rose to fame for his engaging videos that showcase his daily life as a porter carrying supplies up the mountain. His inspiring work ethic and love for Sabah has encouraged many to climb Mount Kinabalu themselves and is part of what has inspired the Bekpes Hot team to take on this record-setting climb.
