KUALA LUMPUR: Indonesian rock band Ungu describes Malaysia as their second home, citing the consistently positive experiences they have had performing here.
Vocalist Sigit Purnomo Syamsuddin Said a.k.a. Pasha, 45, said in a recent video conference that the enthusiastic response from fans and the smooth organisation of their Malaysian concerts always make them feel like they are performing "at home."
"Frankly, we consider Malaysia our second home. Almost every concert we've had here has left a lasting positive impression.
"The audience's reaction has always been incredibly encouraging, which is very satisfying for us as performers," Pasha said.
The Ungu frontman added that their visits to Malaysia are not just about performing; they also cherish connecting with their Malaysian fan base.
"Each of our past performances holds its own unique story and memories. But this time, we promise something entirely new, something that will be a milestone in our history.
"We're presenting something we've never done before since forming the band in 1996," he said.
The five-member band is scheduled to perform at the '29th Anniversary, Symphony of Ungu Live in Kuala Lumpur' concert on July 12, at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre's Plenary Hall.
The concert, organised by Apex Venture Global, will feature Ungu performing with a full orchestra, led by JP Denny.

Zhang Yaodong expresses gratitude for support over being a stallholder in SG
Zhang Yaodong formally introduced his stall in his first-ever TikTok, after he was spotted manning the stall in early June. Photos: Zhang Yaodong/TikTok, Xiaohongshu More than a week after Zhang Yaodong was spotted manning a steamed food stall in the Tampines industrial area, the Singapore-based Malaysian actor took to TikTok on June 11 to express his gratitude to his friends and supporters. The 47-year-old filmed it within the vicinity of his stall, starting the video by briefly panning over the signboard to show its offerings. Tagging the location as a coffeeshop at Blk 9012 Tampines Street 93, the former Mediacorp artiste formally introduced his stall in his first-ever TikTok. He wrote in the caption: 'A new beginning. Thank you for being part of it. That day at the stall was a wake-up call. Your kindness gave me strength to reflect and figure out my next steps. The road ahead is mine to walk — and it's a path I've chosen for myself. I'll be sharing this journey with you.' In early June, a social media user posted the first sighting of Zhang standing in front of the cash register and appearing to be taking orders from customers. Amid the hustle and bustle, the user noted that he was polite and humble, and he was working that day because his employee had resigned. On March 18, a Facebook post by the Tampines Small and Medium Enterprises Association (TSMEA) indicated that Zhang's stall was newly opened during that period and serves traditonal steamed dishes like egg, meat, fish and prawns. Zhang said in his video: 'I know there were many friends, even loyal customers, who took pictures of me helping out here last week. I am very grateful for all the encouragement I've received on social media. 'I would like to take the opportunity to thank the people by my side who have been silently supporting me, as well as the friends who have come over after seeing the reports.' He also credited his long-time friend Catherine Chew for encouraging him to create a TikTok account. 'I'm touched by her sincerity, as well as her eagerness for the public to see another side of me. She has also introduced me to several bosses, who want to collaborate with me on TikTok in the future.' The bachelor's image took a hit in July 2024 when rumours surfaced about him fathering children out of wedlock with women of different nationalities. In November 2024, Zhang took to Instagram to commemorate his holiday to South Korea with his two daughters, confirming his fatherhood for the first time. In February, Mediacorp's talent management agency The Celebrity Agency stated it was no longer representing him and he has not participated in the filming of any new shows. – The Straits Times/Asia News Network

Syamel, too, feels this concert will be a beautiful, lasting memory – not just for the four of them, but for the loyal fans.

#SHOWBIZ: Bella Astillah apologises if videos with Syed Saddiq may irk some
KUALA LUMPUR: Singer and actress Bella Astillah apologises if anyone has become uncomfortable with the various social media content featuring her alongside Muar member of Parliament Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman. Bella, 31, whose real name is Dayang Ara Nabella Awang Astillah, said the video posts uploaded to social media were part of her work commitments. "To everyone out there, I understand that some might feel uneasy with those videos. However, everything is actually part of a collaboration that we are required to fulfill. "For example, a client has helped us by providing aid to Sabah and Muar, so we need to return the favour by giving them some publicity such as doing live sessions together," she said during the launch of her new song, 'Lebih Indah Berpisah', composed and written by Indonesian musician and composer Ade Govinda held here earlier today. When asked if the closeness between her and Syed Saddiq was merely for show, Bella said the interactions shown were all spontaneous. "Syed Saddiq is not an actor, so it was all spontaneous. We were just doing the assigned job. For example, this month we had to do four postings, so we focused on that. But we were never required to act or anything like that," she said. Bella gave a similar answer when asked about the nature of her relationship with the politician. "When it comes to talking about relationships, I'm not comfortable talking about it. "Not only because I'm a woman, but also a mother of two. To speak openly about it is a bit improper for me. What I can say is, just pray for the best for me. "I know it sounds cliché, but it really is the for future plans, there are many things that I need to prioritise such as family and career," she added. In other developments, following the success of her previous single 'Tapi Bukan Denganmu,' Bella is thrilled that now she has a new one. The new single, is a special collaborative project with the renowned Indonesian musician. Bella said the song 'Lebih Indah Berpisah holds' a special meaning for her. "This song was beautifully created by Ade. Its simple message is that sometimes, in a relationship, it is much better to go on separate ways," she said. Bella married Aliff Aziz on Sept 9, 2016, but the couple divorced for the second time on June 13 last year at the Federal Territories Syariah Court. They have two children together, Ayden Adrean, 8, and Ara Adreanna, 5.
