Hot FM's Johan trades virtual likes for real moments

Radio presenter Johan, also known as Mohd Yazid Lim Mohamad Aziz, has decided to part ways with social media to prioritize his family life. This 42-year-old Hot FM announcer confirmed that he no longer maintains any personal social media accounts, such as Instagram or Threads. Johan stated that he manages all his communications and information through Google.

The decision to distance himself from social media arose from his desire to be fully present for his wife, actress Ozlynn Waty, and their children. Johan recounted an incident from a decade ago where he would often become engrossed in his phone while taking his kids to a play center, highlighting his motivation for this change. He emphasized that his wife should remain the only one engaged in social media activities.

Despite his broadcasting career, Johan has managed to stay well-informed due to his radio co-hosts, AG and Fara, who brief him on trending topics before each show. While Ozlynn continues to post online casually, Johan values her updates for the potential to share something uplifting, like a video of him doing household chores that has touched fans.

Johan sees these actions as a form of earning good deeds for others. Johan expressed his intention to live solely for his family, emphasizing that he does not seek praise or can't be defeated by criticism. He hopes that others will focus on making their families happy as their primary goal.
