Being blind hasn't stopped Alfred Ho from becoming a singer and a live performer. Regular commuters who pass through the LRT Concourse at KLCC in Kuala Lumpur know him as the blind busker who serenades them with songs by Elvis Presley, Cliff Richard and Pat Boone.

“My main forte is the oldies,” says Ho, though he also has Chinese, Thai, Japanese and Spanish tunes in his repertoire.
