Sabah diva Stacy Anam rocks KK in her first solo concert in front of thousands of fans from all over South-East Asia
KOTA KINABALU: The weekend marked a historic moment for Sabah's beloved singer, Stacy Anam, as thousands of fans filled the Sabah International Convention Centre (SICC) to witness her first-ever mega solo concert in her hometown — 'Aku Stacy (Menggegar Kota U)'. With thunderous cheers, dazzling stage lights, and world-class showmanship, the nearly three-hour-long concert showcased Stacy at her absolute best - as a high-energy performer, a woman deeply rooted in culture, and a pop star whose shine remains strong after 17 years in the entertainment industry. 'I feel truly satisfied tonight. The three-year wait was absolutely worth it because this is really 'my' concert,' said Stacy with heartfelt gratitude. From Sabah, For Sabah The full-house night at SICC opened with high energy as Stacy performed 'Pakai Buang', dressed in a striking black, white, and red ensemble, greeted by roaring cheers across the hall. She kept the energy soaring with a string of her signature hits including 'Cakap Ke Tangan', 'Not For Sale', 'Gilalah', 'Bosan', and up till her latest hit single 'Menyala'. One of the most dramatic highlights was when Stacy 'soared' through the air above the crowd while performing 'Khayal', sending waves of excitement through the entire venue. Emotions ran high as she delivered heartfelt ballads like 'Kisah Dongeng' and 'Pelangi Senja', sung in unison with thousands of fans. She also gave a special rendition of 'Asmaradana', previously performed on The Hardest Singing Show, now reimagined with traditional Sabah-inspired fashion and cultural elements. The concert came to a rousing close with 'Aku Stacy' — the very song that launched her into stardom nearly two decades ago, now symbolising her full-circle journey as an artist celebrated on her home stage. The 'Sweetest' Segment – Stacy and hubby Akim Ahmad The romantic duet segment with her husband, Akim Ahmad, began with the popular English number 'Die With A Smile' (originally by Lady Gaga & Bruno Mars), drawing loud cheers and applause from the crowd. The couple continued with 'Aku, Kau & Muzik' and 'Ritma & Rima', before Akim took the stage solo to perform 'Rampas' from Akim & The Majistret, showcasing his powerful vocals and magnetic stage presence. 'This is Rhythm & Rhyme's biggest investment to date, and Alhamdulillah, it exceeded all expectations. I'm incredibly thankful to everyone who played a part, directly or indirectly,' Akim shared proudly. A Super Line-Up Of Guest Performers The concert was also graced by a dynamic line-up of guest performers including Amir Masdi, Elica Paujin, Hafiz Zainal, and Dabra Sia, each delivering charismatic and energetic sets. Comedian Atu Zero also made a surprise appearance, leaving the crowd in stitches with his spontaneous humour. 10 Outfits, One Record Broken and a Solid Production Over the course of three months of preparation, Stacy not only meticulously curated the musical arrangement and stage concept — she also made history by donning 10 couture outfits by top local designers, setting a record as the first Malaysian artist to achieve that many costume changes in a single concert. A Touching Moment – Her Late Brother In Her Heart, Spirit Never Fades In a heartfelt moment during the press conference, Stacy held back tears as she remembered her late brother, Chaq: 'He was the one who brought me into this industry. On stage tonight, I could feel his presence — and that gave me the strength to perform from the heart.' As the show ended on a high note, Stacy hinted at bigger plans ahead: 'We're planning to bring this concert to the Peninsular next. But… you'll have to wait for the official announcement. If Sabah could shake the SICC like this, I'm confident we can shake up Kuala Lumpur too ...' 'Aku Stacy (Menggegar Kota U)' concert is a powerful manifestation of Stacy's love for Sabah, for music, and for everyone who has supported her since 2008. Organised by Rhythm & Rhyme Entertainment, proudly presented by U Mobile and official hotel partner, Promenade Hotel, the concert supported by thousands of her fans, it proves one thing — Stacy is not just a star, she is a national treasure.

From a floating piano to a graceful recovery, here are five unforgettable moments from AJL39
KUALA LUMPUR, February 17 — The 39th edition of the annual Malaysia's pop song competition, Anugerah Juara Lagu (AJL39), ended with a bang last night. Held at Axiata Arena Bukit Jalil, AJL39 saw Sabahan singer Marsha Milan crowned champion with her song Hening Rindu, followed by Nadeera Zaini in second place with Bukan Lagi Kita, and Akim & The Majistret securing third place with Saksama. According to Nini Yusof, chief operating officer of Media Prima Television Networks and Primeworks Studios, AJL39 also saw increased fan engagement on social media compared to last year's AJL. The hashtags #AJL39, #NADARASA, and #Marsha have been trending locally on X (formerly known as Twitter) since last night, with over 90,000 posts. For those who missed the excitement of AJL39, fret not. Here's a recap of the top moments that made this year's event truly unforgettable: 1. Sissy Imann and her floating gold piano It was a night of high-calibre entertainment right from the start, as AJL39's host and musician Sissy Imann, who was part of the opening act, was joined by other artists including Wani Kayrie, Shiha Zikir, Ara Johari, and Noki from K-Clique. Together, they performed a medley of famous songs such as Asmaradana by Tiara Jacquelina and Angkat by Mimi Fly. AJL39's host and musician Sissy Imann (right) has captivated audiences by playing the piano while floating several feet above the ground. — Picture by Raymond Manuel Despite the high-energy opening for AJL39, Sissy elevated the excitement by playing a gold piano several feet above the ground, while dancers and singers performed below her. After gracefully descending, she joined the others on stage to conclude the opening act, before later reuniting with her co-host, Nazrudin Rahman. Sissy's stunt captivated many including Nini as well who applaud her bravery. 'I think that the combination of Sissy and Naz is something different and seeing Sissy's bravery to be up there is just unlike anything that we've done before because usually these kinds of stunts are done by the finalists. 'However, because of our spacious stage, we encouraged not just finalists to make the best out of the space but we also gave our host a chance to partake in the opening act as well,' Nini said. The AJL39 opening act also featured 30 dancers and was accompanied by an orchestra team led by esteemed musician Genervie Kam. 2. Aina Abdul's big heart Singer Aina Abdul once again wowed audiences with her avant-garde performance — this time, singing from the heart. Literally. Aina Abdul's giant heart centerpiece during AJL39. — Picture by Raymond Manuel Aina, who claimed the coveted Best Performance award at AJL39, expressed her gratitude to her team, particularly her stage crew, for crafting a stunning heart centrepiece, complete with dangling nerves on either side of the stage. The 31-year-old singer, dressed in red, began her performance of Puas Sudah from within the heart before stepping out and being joined by her dancers. Aina, who had previously spent RM400,000 on her AJL38 performance last year, mentioned that this year's stage setup and outfit were her most expensive yet. However, she declined to share the exact amount, only hinting that it was not over RM500,000. 3. Hael Husaini's graceful recovery Terpeleot punnn lawoooo ekk Hael Husaini! Pandai cover terus silang kaki, memang pro. — Ikhwan (@JatIkhwan) February 16, 2025 Oppa-looking singer Hael Husaini impressed the crowd last night with his quick recovery after tripping over the barrier on his stage set while performing his song 'Diam'. As he was walking backwards during the song, Hael didn't notice the small barriers between the set and tripped, falling backward. However, he quickly recovered, crossing his legs, pose and seamlessly continued his performance. Clips from Hael's performance have been making rounds online, with social media users impressed by how he maintained his vocals despite the hiccup. Although the 37-year-old singer didn't secure a win for his own song Diam, it was still a victory for Hael, as the song he co-wrote for singer Nadeera Zaini, alongside composer Iqie Hugh, titled Bukan Lagi Kita, won second place and earned him a trophy last night. 4. Hafiz Suip's stay-at-home outfit and cameos He also prepared a surprise during the end of his show by bringing on a special cameo by legendary singer Herman Tino who previously made a brief appearance during Hafiz's performance at AJL26 in 2012 where he was crowned champion for his song Awan Nano. Hafiz wasn't the only one who brought a special guest as fellow contestant Amir Masdi had also brought local actress Amelia Henderson on stage for his performance of Sengaja during AJL39. As each finalist of AJL is required to come up with their own stage set design and theme, singer and finalist Hafiz Suip decided to feature a life-size kampung house prop for his performance of Terus Bersinar. The Awan Nano singer delivered a near-perfect performance last night, starting with him lying on a bed inside the kampung house before making his way outside to the stage. Staying true to the theme, Hafiz's outfit for the performance was simple yet fitting — a brown t-shirt paired with black tracksuit pants and a pair of everyday slippers, marking a first on the AJL stage. He also prepared a surprise for his performance by bringing out legendary singer Herman Tino at the end. The music great had previously made a brief appearance during Hafiz's performance at AJL26 in 2012, when he was crowned champion for his song Awan Nano. Hafiz wasn't the only one to bring a special guest; fellow contestant Amir Masdi also had local actress Amelia Henderson join him on stage for his performance of Sengaja during AJL39. 5. Creative use of stage space AJL39 finalist Ernie Zakri's blossoming garden stage setup. — Picture by Raymond Manuel One of the main takeaways from AJL39 is that all 10 finalists truly made the most of their spacious stage, which, according to Nini, is the size of two futsal courts. Unlike previous AJLs, where some finalists opted to perform solo without props or even dancers, this year's maximised use of stage space was well-received by social media users, who shared positive feedback online. In addition to Aina's massive heart centerpiece, other AJL39 finalists also made a strong impression with their stage setups, including Ernie Zakri, who presented a blossoming hanging garden for her Aura performance. Local rappers Benzooloo, Ghidd Isobahtos, Meerfly, Tuju, and MK from K-Clique had a standout stage setup featuring two long dining tables with lamps in the middle, alongside a burning building frame placed slightly behind — offering the audience a unique perspective as each rapper performed their verse from the song Risiko. Meanwhile, local band Masdo, competing at AJL39 with their song Pujaanku featuring Aisyah Aziz, also made the most of their stage space by incorporating a group of dancers who filled the empty spaces as they moved around the stage. i have to say AJL this year kemas. abang Naz and Sissy very santai, takde unnecessary product placement (thank u Samsung), kamera pun tak annoying, stage lawa. sound system laa kena improve lagi sikit. overall good job team #AJL39 !!! — ???????????????????????????? ????
