SINGING sensation Michael Wong Guang Liang will be the main draw at a Chinese New Year charity show in Penang organised by developer SP Setia on Feb 15.

The Ipoh-born singer-composer, who is now based in Taiwan, would perform for 45 minutes at the charity show, said SP Setia property division (north) general manager S. Rajoo in Penang.

He said that about 10,000 to 15,000 people were expected to attend the free show, themed SP Setia Cares. Michael Wong sings for Unsung Heroes.

“Our ‘unsung heroes’ are those who tend to the less fortunate at various homes and centres. These people choose to work at such places not to earn a living but because they have a passion to help others,” said Rajoo.

He said the venue would be the Setia Pearl Island’s show village, which is now nearly completed and scheduled to be open for viewing early next month.

Rajoo said the event would begin with a street party from 6pm with fire-eaters, magicians, clowns and a “plastic man.” There will also be lion dance and dragon dance performan-ces.

He said the warm-up show was scheduled to start at 8.30pm with an 88-drum performance by the Malaysian Drum Symphony, followed by singing and dancing by The Three Sisters. There will also be a magic show and an appearance by the God of Prosperity as well as a slide show Tribute to the Unsung Heroes before Wong appears on stage.

“We are also inviting the residents and staff of the Spastic Children Association of Penang and Penang Cheshire Home for a dinner with our purchasers to celebrate Chinese New Year before the show,” he added.

Rajoo said Setia Pearl Island would also be launching its Cedar and Cypress three-storey link houses earlier that morning.

He said there were 19 units of the 20ft by 70ft houses with a built-up area of 3,000sq ft, and 41 units of the 22ft by 80ft homes with a built-up area of 3,300sq ft, with the price at RM798,000 and RM878,000 respectively.

Rajoo also said registration was open for its 84 units of Juniper three-storey semi-detached houses in Sungai Ara with a built-up area of 3,600sq ft.

He said the selling price was RM1.3mil with the launch date being scheduled for the second quarter of the year.
