Norman Abdul Halim addresses misunderstanding on GenKRU concert
15 Aug -Norman Abdul Halim found himself clarifying a misunderstanding regarding media reports about the cancellation of the GenKRU Concert in Penang earlier. Norman, who explained that KRU never officially announced a concert or launched ticket sales under the GenKRU brand in Penang or in any other states, stated, "While we had intentions to stage a GenKRU concert in several states, after conducting technical studies and assessing feasibility, we decided to drop the idea." "It wasn't a cancellation of a planned concert in Penang per se, but rather a decision not to proceed with organising a GenKRU-branded concert there," he said in a video statement distributed to the media. Norman added that the GenKRU concert at Axiata Arena in Kuala Lumpur last May was a one-of-a-kind event that couldn't be replicated. "Let the GenKRU Concert at Axiata Arena remain in a class of its own, as a special memory for the fans who attended. However, we did record the concert, and it will be broadcast," he said. In the same video, Norman mentioned that they are currently reviewing the format and content of their performances before staging concerts outside Kuala Lumpur. "But these projects will be under a different brand, not GenKRU. We don't want to disappoint fans or invite comparisons with our previous concerts," he said. Norman added that fans must wait for their announcement and not believe rumours. (Photo Source: Yusry IG, Norman IG)

#SHOWBIZ: Norman denies reports of GenKRU concert cancellation in Penang
KUALA LUMPUR: KRU member Datuk Norman Abdul Halim has issued a clarification to address media reports about the supposed cancellation of the GenKRU Concert in Penang. In a video statement released yesterday, Norman explained that KRU never officially announced or launched ticket sales for any GenKRU-branded concert in Penang or any other state. "I would like to clarify the media reports quoting what was said about the cancellation of the GenKRU Concert in Penang," he said. "We did have the intention of staging GenKRU concerts in several states. However, after reviewing the technical aspects and feasibility, we decided to drop the idea." He further explained that it wasn't a specific concert that was cancelled, but rather the intention to hold a GenKRU-branded show in Penang. Norman emphasised that the performance at Axiata Arena in May was a unique event that could not simply be replicated. "Let the GenKRU Concert at Axiata Arena be remembered for its unique and special experience for the fans who attended," he added, noting that the concert was recorded and will be aired. Norman also revealed that the trio is currently reviewing the format and content for shows outside Kuala Lumpur. "However, this project will be under a different brand, not GenKRU. We don't want to disappoint fans or invite comparisons to our Axiata Arena concert," he said. He stressed that if another GenKRU-branded concert were to happen, it would have to be bigger than the Axiata Arena show. "We are thinking of what's best for our fans and we don't want to let anyone down. Wait for our official announcements, and don't rely on rumours. What matters is hearing it from an official source," he said.

My Dad, My Hero: Norman KRU on growing up and life lessons from his father
23 Jun 2025 09:55am From growing up with strong family values to navigating the ever-changing landscape of the entertainment industry, Datuk Norman Abdul Halim reflects on how his father's quiet strength became the foundation of his character. In a world where success is often measured by fame and fortune, Norman shares a more intimate narrative, one rooted in the unspoken wisdom and everyday sacrifices of a father who led by example. In this heartfelt and revealing conversation, Norman opens up about the principles his father instilled in him from a young age - honesty, discipline, humility, and hard work. These weren't just lessons preached, but values lived daily in the small, consistent ways that shaped Norman's outlook on life. Whether it was waking up early to help with chores or watching how his father treated others with kindness and respect, Norman learned that true leadership doesn't require a spotlight. As a member of the iconic KRU group and a pioneer in Malaysia's music and film industry, Norman faced intense public scrutiny, creative pressure, and business challenges. Yet through it all, it was his father's unwavering guidance that helped him stay grounded. He shares how those early teachings became his inner compass, steering him away from ego, reminding him of his roots, and encouraging him to uplift others along the way. This conversation is more than just a tribute to his father, it's a powerful reminder of how deeply parents shape the emotional and moral fabric of their children. It's also a call to appreciate the silent, steadfast presence of the men who raise us, those who don't always say much, but whose actions echo in our lives forever. #FathersDay #NormanKRU #MyDadMyHero #SinarDaily #KRU More Like This
