Forget music festivals, because you can now catch a couple of favourite international and regional acts here at the 1Malaysia Penang International Charity Drive.
All for the sake of ‘unity’, ‘peace’, and ‘prosperity’, the charity drive aims to raise between RM3million and RM5 million for the sake of charity. “This is a concert to raise funds for charity organizations in Penang and has nothing to do with politics” said Penang-born entrepreneur, Low Teck Jho.
He also said that the event will be fully supported by private sponsors and a free shuttle service has been arranged from several sponsors and a free shuttle bus service has been arranged from several locations on the island and mainland to ferry people to the event.
According to Geh, concert admission forms will be available in all mainstream newspapers from now till Saturday. The public must also submit the forms with a copy of their identification card to designated ticketing outlets in Penang, with a nominal fee of RM1, which will be part of the funds raised.
Now, for the real details you’ve been waiting for, the list of performers include, hip hop artists Busta Rhymes, Ludacris, Swizz Beatz, Red Foo from LMFAO, Grosshopper, Eric Woo and George Lam, and local songstress, Ning Baizura.
“By Friday, we will announce the list of welfare organizations that will be recipients of the funds,” said Geh.
