Deejay Flying Dutchman leaves MediaCorp after 18-year radio career
Gold 90.5FM host Mark van Cuylenburg, better known as The Flying Dutchman (FD) has announced that he is leaving MediaCorp to pursue other interests.
Van Cuylenburg broke the news to listeners on Tuesday morning. His last show is on Wednesday.
The veteran host has been with MediaCorp for 18 years, starting out with Class95FM’s The Morning Express.
Fans took to Gold 90.5FM’s Facebook page to express their gratitude.
“Hi FD, gonna miss your infectious laughter. It's like an addictive cup of perk-me-up coffee every morning,” wrote Sh Low.
One listener Christine Keung wrote a public note to him on Facebook, asking, “Can you not stay on with Gold90.5 FM just once a week like Brian? Rather than leave for life. Many people are going to miss you.”
Van Cuylenburg replied, “Its all about evolving Christine. we must embrace change.”
News of his departure comes hot on the heels of another long-time veteran of MediaCorp television star Gurmit Singh leaving the company last month.
