Sam Hui aims to bring joy at a time of sadness

[ 08-01-2005 ]

From adversity we grow in faith and strength. This is the message that Hong Kong entertainer Samuel Hui wants to impart to all in the wake of the tsunami disaster that has shocked the world.

“That is why I came back to the entertainment industry. I want to use my music to share my philosophies on life and bring joy to the people,” he said.

Hui emerged from retirement last year, after 12 years, following the despair caused by the SARS virus and deaths of several notable celebrities (Roman Tam, Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui).


He wrote two songs, 04 Zhu Fu Ni (04 Blessings) and Ji Xu Wei Xiao (Keep Smiling), which he dedicated to his fellow countrymen. He also held a 10-show concert series that was increased to 38 due to overwhelming demand.

“It is heartening to see people coming together to help wherever there’s a tragedy. I hope everyone will keep smiling and stay strong,” said the 56-year-old in a pre-recorded video message.

The recording was played during a press conference last week held to announce the participation of Da Ma Cai as presenter for the Sam Hui Live in Malaysia 2005 concert.

Da Ma Cai will be sending two lucky winners and their friends (one each) to Hong Kong to watch Hui’s Chinese New Year concert. Tune in to official radio station StarRfm 988 to find out details of the contest.

Tickets for the Feb 20 performance are still available but RM50 tickets are sold out. Call Axcess Ticketing at 03-7711 5000 or order online at www.axcess.com.my

Sunway Pyramid is also having daily giveaways of Hui's concert tickets to five lucky shoppers, from Jan 8 to Feb 3.

The two-night concert (Feb 19 and 20) will be held at the Bukit Jalil National Outdoor Stadium. For details, call 03-2282 2020 or log on to www.galaxy.com.my
