Jay Chou
Jay Chou’s Carnival World Tour concert, which was originally slated to take place in Kuala Lumpur in 2020, has been postponed again, Sin Chew Daily reported.
Malaysian fans will now have to wait until Jan 17, 2023, to see their idol perform, prompting a few to complain online that their “tickets have now grown mouldy”.
The organiser GYH Culture and Media, which had announced that the concert was to be held at the Bukit Jalil stadium in Kuala Lumpur on Feb 19 this year, said the latest decision was made to protect fans, the singer as well as staff.
The King of Mandopop’s concert to commemorate his 20th year in the music industry was originally scheduled for Feb 29, 2020, but has now been postponed several times due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Fans joked that they may now have to wait for his 30th anniversary to see him perform.
> A man in Bentong, Pahang, who only managed to save his mother during the December floods which hit his home, was delighted to find his two dogs waiting for him in front of the wreckage later, reported China Press.
He Qi Ye, 66, said he had fled his home near Jalan Manchis together with his 80-year-old mother after floodwaters rose more than 2.4m.
When he returned the next day, he found his home damaged by debris swept in by the floodwaters, and thought his pets had perished in the disaster.
To his surprise, his two beloved pups were waiting for him outside what remained of his house.
He said he would not be able to complete the cleaning and repairing of his house by Chinese New Year so would be spending the festive holidays in Kuala Lumpur with his son.
