Stars add glitter to green cause

PETALING JAYA: One of the highlights of tomorrow¡¯s Suria FM Green Every Day 2007 Concert, which will feature over 50 Malaysian and Indonesian artistes, is a special performance by the legendary Alleycats.

According to frontman David Arumugam, the event, to raise awareness about the environment, will include a special tribute to David¡¯s late brother and original Alleycats member Loganathan Arumugam, fondly known as Loga, who succumbed to cancer recently.

¡°Some of the artistes, including Loga¡¯s daughter and myself, will be performing Jika Kau Bercinta Lagi, a popular song Loga used to sing, and I will perform Andainya Aku Pergi Dulu,¡± said David.

David hopes the audience will go away with a greater awareness of the environment.

¡°We have to protect the environment. People need to be aware of the things they can do to save the world. Such events will raise much-needed awareness about our environment.¡±

Renowned rocker Ramli Sarip will perform two songs to reflect the state of the world today.

¡°Warisan Alam, which I wrote 15 years ago, is against the felling of trees and about not taking care of the environment.¡±

He also re-wrote the lyrics to Blues Untuk Rakyat, which is about 10 years old, to suit the concert. ¡°The lyrics are about our rivers; it is very sad to see the condition of our rivers.¡±

Ramli, who says he was the ¡°chief gardener¡± in school, was taught by his father how to care for trees. His home is filled with plants, which he says are therapeutic.

¡°What we do now will affect what we leave behind for our children and grandchildren ¨C if we cut down 10 trees, plant 100 trees to make it up.¡±

If Andy, the singer of feisty KL-based alternative rockers Flop Poppy, has his way, there will be fewer cars in Kuala Lumpur and more people will be using public transport.

Despite owning a car, the 36-year-old father of five, whose real name is Megat Effendy Zakaria, uses public transport as much as he can.

¡°We have to take more action instead of just coming together and talking about it.¡±

Model-actor-host Ashraf Sinclair will not be performing but hopes to spread the message on conservation.

¡°My mother taught me how to care for the environment. You¡¯d be surprised how simple things like turning off the lights and using less water helps save the environment,¡± said Ashraf, who is in the midst of recording two drama series, Tidak Pernah Ku Sesali (RTM1) and Gol and Gincu (8TV).

¡°I believe it is better to get 10% output from 1,000 people than 10 people giving 100%. We can¡¯t convert everyone but if many people chip in, it will make a big difference.¡±

The SuriaFM Green Every Day Concert, in conjunction with World Environment Day 2007, will be held at the Bukit Jalil Stadium at 4pm tomorrow. Admission is free.

The concert is presented by TM Group and 1 Borneo, and will be aired live over SuriaFM.

The official city tour for the concert is Hop On Hop Off.

Indonesian rock band to lead charge

KUALA LUMPUR: The gathering of Indonesian music and movie stars for the SuriaFM Green Every Day Concert tomorrow is among the big draws of the event.

Leading the charge is legendary rock outfit Slank, which has a very strong fan base in the region. Over two decades, band members Kaka, Bim-Bim, Abdee, Ridho and Ivanka have produced 15 albums, which have generated more than 30 hit songs.

Actor Nicolas Saputra, with his good looks and talent, has melted thousands of hearts across the region as Rangga in the blockbuster teen flick Ada Apa Dengan Cinta.

His special appearance at the concert will help boost the event¡¯s goal of enhancing awareness of the environment.

Singer Yuni Shara might not be as famous as her younger sister Kris Dayanti here in Malaysia, but she has already proven her star quality in her home country.

Yuni is currently in the midst of promoting her latest album, Yuni Shara 35, to mark 10 years as an Indonesian music icon.

The singer, whose numerous hits include Cinta Yang Tulus, Aku Jatuh Cinta and Surat Undangan is all set to wow local fans.

The 3 Diva concert held here in March allowed Titi Dj to establish herself in the Malaysian music industry. The 41-year-old singer is slowly garnering fans as well as airplay on local radio stations.

Concert-goers can look forward to an unforgettable performance from the veteran singer, whose hits include Tak Kan Ada Cinta Yang Lain, Bintang-Bintang and Dunia Boleh Tetawa.

Other Indonesian stars appearing at the concert are actress Marcella Zalianty and actor Samuel Rizal, and music acts Element, Tangga, and Katon Bagaskara.

From the brown eyes

I reached the spot at 445,somethg like that. Jen was there, standing, or shud I say tagging to the fan. The place was damn hot. Cannot tahan ma,…so we just stick to the place la..
Banyak gak prsmbhan but then,mostly, yg wat persembahan ptg tu adalah grup2 indie…n some others are new faces. Penonton tak ramai,…boleh dikira dgn sempoa..
Sedih jugak lah,sbb the performance kinda ok,n kalau niat diorg utk mengetengahkan nama2 n muka2 baru ni kpd pasaran,…shud’ve find some other attractionla..maybe selitkan dgn penyanyi yg ‘meletop’ n d**enali sbg ‘pemilik’ fan base yang besar…so kalau fan performer ni dtg,…diorg sure akan dgr n gk sekali muka2 baru ni…kan? Neway, there are some familiar names around la,…Sh Zarina…Shazzy…Bandi Amuk…Sasi Da Don…sapa tah lagi,…(me mmg pelupa,sorry…)
Tekejut sgt2 sbb around 5++ Farah Asyikin dah mula amik tpt kat pnts! I was like,”hey,…bkn kata dia perform mlm ke?ni kes informer sengal la ni…”
So went to meet her lah lps tu…she’s in d middle of fighing for her album, I mean…dlm promosi lagi la…so neone out der yg dah dgr lagu2 kak farah,…do make some review?can? tq!
Well,…im so not gonna talk about the performances la…leave that to someone else. All I feel like to alk about is the irony of the concertla…poor suria.fm n the great ppl behind the green campaign. U knowlah d purpose of this concertkan…utk bg kesedaran betapa pntngnya menjaga alam sekitar(no, hat’s not alam’s new name or nethg,mind u)…sayangi pokok2,hutan rimba n all…plus perpaduan yg sepatutnya terbukti apabila penyanyi dan pelakon indonesia turut ditampilkan. But then, some of us were just…so…I donno,is ignorance counts as keslhn or what…u shud have see the place after a while…botol2 mineral here n there…cups…magazine yg didistributedkan oleh bbrp org girls(ergh…u know ah,how long it’ll take for a pokok to grow just to make papers?go n find out la…haiyah!laer we got so panas,no trees to cover n produce oxygen,how la?)…plasics,…everythg la…semua besepah2 d..hai la…why lah,if I can, I wud la,…like cubit sorg2 n say,”hey,u left somethg!go pick it up!” xpnh dgr ke pasal recycle?
Pihak penganjur pun dah menunjukkan kurangnya penekanan terhadap motif asal konsert ni…yup,..no bins(I need to go back o the stall just to throw the empty bottle;tho I wud prefer recycling it)…n a big NO when it comes to any booth yg berkenaan dgn green,recycle etc….ada satu…tu pun hanya tpt beli baju yg dijual utk tribute to late loga. Tak byk info sg berkaitan ‘green’. Jadi mcm mana nak menimbulkan kesedaran org ramai pada konsep green?pengacara pun tak gesa penonton kutip sampah yg ditinggalkan… haih..


Buah rambai,buah rambutan,
Masak sebiji dihujung dahan,
Jangan diusik burung dihutan,
Burung dirumah mati kelaparan.

Bahasa….well,…not that I’m pakar bahasa or what la…n ,no,I don’t mind if the presenter nak guna Multilanguage sekalipun…me paham,…for the global purpose kena guna bahasa mcm2 la..maybe rojak a bit. Tp,…trust me,…kalau kita tak gunakan bahasa kebangsaan dgn betul apabila menggunakannya,…esp kalau kita berada di satu tempat yang org akan dgr dan nampak( yelah,…kata ada live kat internet etc)…bila lagi? Maybe org lain tak perasan,…tp me sedar sgt,…ok,bahasa rojak is one thing,n as I said,..me xksh,…me faham kenapa,…tho some ppl yg sgt sygkan bahasa akan totally disagree kan…tp penggunaan perkataan macam “merancaki”, “memperdengari”…ada ked lm kamus?me dah siasat dah…takdek! So,..kalau nak guna tu…gunalah dgn betul…kalau waktu tu tgh borak2…sembang2 ala2 kita skarang ni,then maybe ok…but then,…ni atas pentas,ppl look up to u,…ppl hear u ma…me ngaku tak dgr sgt suria.fm so me taktaula mcm mana persembahan dj2 ni kat radio…(skang lepas kejadian dgn sorg dj diorg tu-yg hanya jen n me yg tau,lagila me segan nak dgr:P) haila…
Mlmnye plak,…persembahan dr artis2 hebat…bagus…tp we chose to tgk dr jauh je…sbb ada yg agak kurang kwln diri,…yea,I know,hey just wanna have fun.i’m ok wif that as long as they don’t bother my girls n me.
Neway,kitorg balik awal so tak tau lah apa jadiknye lps2 tu…maybe timbunan sampah tu berkurang sbb kesedaran yg mula memberi kesan pada penonton…atau masih macam tu juga.
So,…pendek kata…penekanan terhadap motif konsert tu perlulah lebih ditekankan. Lebih-lebih lagi ia berbentuk pendidikan macam tu…mendidik kita supaya sygkan kehijauan,kekalkan kehijauan,…bukan hanya berkonsepkan hiburan semata.n, bahasa yang digunakan patut cuba diperbaiki…
(hmmm…wonder,…maybe engku emran tgh sgt bz dgn gosip2ne sampai kurang perhatian terhadap konsert ni…sbb tu konsert ni lari dr tujuan asal)
Papehal pun,…gud effort tho msh byk sgt2 ruang utk diperbaiki…
Have ur say people.

Hugs
