In 2004,
complaints were made to Singapore's Media Development Authority that he and
his then co-host Daniel Ong made lewd remarks on air when a teenage male
listener called in for advice on how to attract a girl he liked. As a result of
these complaints, Ong was suspended from on-air duties while Sheikh was asked
to leave. MediaCorp Radio's 987FM was cautioned and fined S$15,000.[9]
The same year, he was arrested in a major drug bust on suspicion that he possessed
cocaine.[10]
He was later cleared of all charges.
SHEIKH
HAIKEL has been fired from his DJ job at MediaCorp Radio's Perfect 10.
The rapper-actor, who signed a one-year contract with the station in April this year, used to host Perfect 10's Morning Madness show with Daniel Ong. His last day on air was on Aug 6.
HE'S OUT: Sheikh Haikel (left) has been fired. Yesterday, co-host Daniel Ong (right) went on air with Vernon A instead.
He was sacked following a complaint about comments he had made on the show last month.
To a listener seeking advice on how to approach a girl he fancied, Haikel said he should ask her if she was wearing white panties.
A listener complained about this in a letter to the Straits Times Forum Page.
OnTuesday, the Media Development Authority (MDA) said the incident breached the Radio Programme Code. That was also the day he received a letter of termination from MediaCorp Radio.
