Sam Hui gets a warm welcome

[ 18-02-2005 ]

SEPANG: Sam Hui, the man responsible for Canto pop, arrived here with curry uppermost in his mind.

 

“I’m very happy to be here again as I have not been to Malaysia for over 30 years.

“I can't wait for the chance to eat fish head curry,” the veteran singer of hit song Poon Kan Pat Leong told fans outside KL International Airport yesterday.

The Sam Hui Live in Malaysia 2005 concert at Bukit Jalil Outdoor Stadium tomorrow and Sunday will be Hui's first concert in Malaysia. He will be joined by his sons Ryan and Scott, and elder brother, Ricky.

Hui, 56, showed that he had not lost the golden touch where his fans are concerned.

“Sam, Sam” shouted the few hundred fans who pushed to get closer to him as he emerged from the VIP lounge at 7pm clad in a flower-printed shirt over a white T-shirt with a tiger motif.

“Wish you all long ma jing shen (blessed with energy of a horse and dragon), man shi sheng yi (whatever happens is what you wish for in your heart) and continue to have the God of Fortune and looi (money),” he said.

Asked what he wanted to say to his fans, Hui said he would make sure that those who attended the concerts would have a “crazy time and go home happy.”

Hui has been out of the entertainment limelight for 12 years. He made his comeback last year with his “Keep on Smiling” concerts in Hong Kong.

Last week, he performed a six-night Chinese New Year show at the Hong Kong Coliseum.

His concert here is presented by Pan Malaysia Pools with Sunway Lagoon Resort and Galaxy Production as joint organisers.

The official radio station is 98.8 while Malaysia Airlines is the official carrier. The Star operates 98.8.
