BFM 89.9 is a Malaysian independent business and current affairs-oriented radio station.

It first went on air on 4 September 2008, promoting itself as Malaysia's first business radio station[1] with a goal "to build a better Malaysia by championing rational, evidence-based discourse as a key element of good policy decisions". Its founder Malek Ali, a former London-based corporate lawyer in the 1980s, based its localised coverage model on news stations like LBC.[2]
