Funnyman Shahrol is new host of ‘Suria Pagi’
Tune in from 5am to 10am weekdays for laughs
PETALING JAYA: Start your day with a dose of laughter as popular comedian Shahrol Shiro is now hosting radio station Suria’s breakfast show Suria Pagi.
The 33-year-old funnyman will be spreading joy to listeners, along with current announcers Zulin Aziz and Fizi Ali, every weekday from 5am to 10am.
He started his stint with Suria Pagi yesterday morning. During a press event at Tropicana City Mall yesterday, Shahrol shared the challenges he has faced on the job so far.
“When you work with someone new for the first time, you have to get to know them, understand their likes and dislikes, and what their sensitivities are.
“I met up with Fizi and Zulin twice last week to build on our chemistry.”
Suria Pagi has been on air for the last decade and is one of the station’s most popular shows.
The new deejay spoke about his plans for the breakfast show and how he believes it is a way to put some good into the world.
“For example, social media is sometimes used as a medium to spread hatred and negativity, but I want to send a positive message to people.”
Halim Othman, who used to co-host the segment before Shahrol took over, will focus on helming the sports-themed Grandstand Suria (weekends, 9am to 1pm).
Shahrol admitted he felt the pressure of having to step into the veteran radio and TV host’s big shoes, but is happy that the trio got off to a good start during his first stint on-air.
Shahrol’s foray into showbiz began after winning the sixth sea- son of reality comedy competition Raja Lawak in 2012 as one half of the comedy duo Shiro.
Since then, Shahrol has become one of the country’s most sought-after comedians, showing off his comedic chops as radio deejay, TV host and film actor.
