7 Aug 2013: Mega birthday bash at Kinta Riverview Hotel


It was an unusually special gala dinner on the occasion of Datuk Koay's birthday, filled with superstars. You name it - Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, P Ramlee, Teresa Teng, Anita Mui, Psy, Cliff Richard and Elvis Presley. The theme ranged from 50s to 90s and the current decade. 

Another unusual thing was the request for me to perform 2 Cliff Richard songs after my Elvis set. And so I took it up and did my rendition of 'Summer Holiday' and a special request by the host,  'Congratulations'.


Reputed with having the biggest pillar-less ballroom in Ipoh, Kinta Riverview Hotel is the ideal venue to host the sea of guests, accommodating 100 tables easily.






My performance as Cliff Richard :)




 With Jordan Sam as MJ, along with Teresa Teng and Anita Mui impersonators. We had the honour of singing 'Happy Birthday' for the cake cutting ceremony at the end of the event.



Having some fun with retro props outside the ballroom.

  Magnificent view from our room in Kinta Riverview Hotel. 

My appreciation to the event manager, Bonny and excellent team from Big Bash Events for an unforgettable evening with Datuk Koay and guests. 

My rendition of Toong Hua (Guang Liang) 童话 (光良)

Here's my rendition of a popular Mandarin song entitled Fairy Tale(童话).

My rendition of Smile, popularized by Nat King Cole

Apart from being specialized in Elvis impersonation, my singing hobby includes songs from other artistes.

Here's my rendition of a meaningful song from Nat King Cole, entitled 'Smile'.


AXA Affin Life Awards Presentation in Genting Highlands - 1 Apr 2010

"And the oscar goes to..."
The Oscars came to Genting Highlands, Malaysia on 1 April 2010, and no, it's not an April Fool's joke. The Oscar Nite was the theme for AXA Affin Life Annual Awards Presentation 2010, held at the Grand Ballroom of the Genting International Convention Centre.


The Oscar-welcome at the entrance, ushering the guests into the grand ballroom.


As the sole entertainer for the big event, I got the crowd rockin' & rollin' with 'Hound Dog', accompanied by the trademark Elvis choreography.


The Elvis tip-toe move, likened to the modern day MJ pose :)



Accompanied with dancers for 'Burning Love', which got the crowd groovin' at the dance floor.


Re-appearing in the variety segment, rendering evergreen numbers in English, Malay & Cantonese, much to the delight of the crowd.

The packed ballroom, with guests dressed to the teeth.

My snapshot moment with Y.B. Datuk Lawrence Chan, the notable award-winning training consultant, along with his guests.
It was a memorable event for me, especially towards the end of my performance where the crowd was waving and singing along to my rendition of 'pung yau' (friend). My sincere appreciation to the emcee, David, for the capturing the excellent on-stage photos.













SPDP Charity Dinner in Miri - 27 Mar 2010

The Sarawak Progressive Democratic Party (SPDP) held a charity dinner in Imperial Hotel, Miri on 27 March 2010. This event was hosted by Deputy Minister of International Trade & Industry, Y.B. Dato' Jacob Sagan and Chairlady, Datin Winnie Sagan. The posh ballroom was well decorated and had a full house attendance, close to 1000 pax. The main VVIP addressing the key note for the event was none other than Y.B. Datuk Sri William Mawan, president of SPDP, who is also an ardent Elvis fan himself.

My first segment started with 'Sway', followed by other evergreen favourites.

A special presentation by the local tribal group.

My second segment with my usual signature Elvis hits.


I've always thought that East Malaysia has a wide Elvis fanbase, as majority of the population is English-speaking. I was right indeed...the multi-racial audience of rich diversed ethnicity cheered aloud to my songs.



The evening ended with another guest artiste from Kuala Lumpur - Betty Banafe of Spa Q TV series fame. She rendered a few songs, including an Arabic number, much to the delight of the crowd.

Me with Y.B. Datuk Sri Willaim Mawan.

A big thank you to Datin Winnie for engaging me again this year as the main entertainer. My wife, Natalie, & I enjoyed our stay in Miri. I look forward to more performances in the future.
