This is the foundation of a sustainable national cultural brand. With the involvement of orchestras, Malaysia's top performers, and key players in the creative industry, this transformation will allow for greater public and corporate participation, expanding both reach and impact."

"P. Ramlee was not just an artiste; he embodied values, the spirit of an era, the voice of a nation, and the mind of a visionary unafraid to address issues, values, and emotions. This new approach will bring his legacy even closer to today's generation," he added.
TanahAir Films extended its thanks to all partners, sponsors, and media who have supported the initiative. They described the postponement as "a bold step to ensure that the upcoming festival will truly stand as a national-scale arts and cultural event with lasting impact."

2 New Tracks From Malaysian Acts Iskandar Zulkarnain & ALPHA Dive Into Love & Growth
These two recent local releases highlight the range of Malaysian music today. One marks a heartfelt solo comeback, while the other shows a softer side of a rising boy group. Iskandar Zulkarnain – 'Sewaktu Bahagia' After some time away from the spotlight former Projektor Band vocalist Iskandar Zulkarnain makes a strong return with 'Sewaktu Bahagia,' a new solo single released under Luncai Emas. Known for his emotionally driven vocal style, Iskandar once again leans into heartbreak – this time with a song written by Aidil AF and Jeremy Erskine, inspired by their real-life experiences with love and loss. Backed by the guidance of Dato' M. Nasir and the fresh production touch of Hidayat Nasir from Pitahati, 'Sewaktu Bahagia' captures the rawness of emotional upheaval. The lyrics paint a picture of broken trust and fading joy, all set to a classic pop rock arrangement that feels both nostalgic and current. Iskandar hopes the song will stand the test of time and resonate across generations. The song is now available on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Music and other streaming platforms. ALPHA – 'P. Ramlee & Saloma' Following their high-energy debut 'Mona Lisa (Bang Bang),' seven-member boy group ALPHA returns with something entirely different. Their second single 'P. Ramlee & Saloma' is a ballad that reveals a more introspective, emotional side of the group. Formed through the reality competition Big Stage Alpha, the group – made up of Daniel, Izat, Rizal, Ariel, Araff, Ray-D and Sky – was selected from hundreds of aspiring male contestants across Southeast Asia. Their goal has always been to redefine what a pop group can be, and this new single reflects that direction. The song was produced by Justin Seow, Mohsein Kush and RFE under Rocketfuel Entertainment. It positions ALPHA not just as performers, but as a cohesive group with musical range. While 'Mona Lisa' introduced them with attitude and flair, 'P. Ramlee & Saloma' focuses on sincerity, showcasing their vocal strength and artistic growth. The song is now streaming on all major platforms, with a music video release coming soon.
