MIRI (May 19): The 'Konsert MeleTOP TVS' lit up the Miri Indoor Stadium on Saturday night with a vibrant showcase of music and culture, drawing a crowd of over 2,000 eager fans.
The concert marked the inaugural collaboration between Astro's MeleTOP and TVS (TV Sarawak) and was held for the first time in Sarawak.
Themed 'Nang Champiyen, Nang Lagend' (Truly Champions, Truly Legends), the show delivered a show-stopping mix of performances that celebrate Bornean artistry while uniting talents from across the country.
The concert was hosted by a dynamic lineup comprising Nabil Ahmad, Sherry Alhadad, Cheryl Toh, Fattah Bohl and Ghaz Zawaiwi, and their lively banter kept the energy high between performances.
According to TVS acting chief executive officer Mohamad Sardon Zainal, the concert served to introduce TVS Channel 122 to a wider national audience and highlight homegrown talent from across Malaysia.
'TVS is committed to continuously uplifting local artistes, and this concert has become an important platform towards that goal,' he told the media after the show.

He also announced that Sarawak's own Dayang Nurfaizah was honoured with the 'Anugerah Khas Borneo' in recognition of her two decade-long contribution to the local music industry.
'This award is a symbol of our ongoing support for Bornean talents who have brought pride to the state on the national stage.'
Explaining the choice of Miri as the host city, Sardon noted its strategic location in northern Sarawak.
'This is the first time a large-scale concert like this has been held in Miri, and the enthusiastic response proves there's great potential for organising major entertainment events outside of the capital cities,' he stated.
He added that the concert's success opens doors for future solo concerts and bigger plans for the local creative scene.
'This concert is not just a milestone, but the beginning of a broader effort to strengthen the local entertainment ecosystem. We are also planning another major concert in Kuching this October to mark TVS's fifth anniversary,' he said.
The hosts, together with singer Noki, hype up the show.
A stellar lineup of artistes dazzled the concert, including Sada Borneo, Mimy Fly, Stacy, Wani Kayrie, Noki, Hairee Francis, Hael Husaini, Nadeera, Dayang Nurfaizah, Marsha Milan, Dolla, and Floor 88.
The event was broadcast live on multiple platforms including TVS (Astro Channel 122, MYTV, and UnifiTV), Astro ONE, and Sooka, with a repeat telecast on Astro Ria on May 25 at 9pm. concert entertainment Konsert MeleTOP TVS lead Mohamad Sardon Zainal TVS
