Hello readers ..
On 29 April 2017, fans of
one of Malaysia’s most beloved icons, Sheila Majid, will have the privilege of
being the first few to experience a showcase featuring songs from her latest
album live at Belum Rainforest Resort in Pulau Banding, Perak. The exclusive evening with the songbird will
be held in an intimate setting at the resort, against the natural backdrop of
one of the world’s oldest rainforests.
The resort is surrounded
by the Belum-Temengor Tropical Rainforest Complex, measuring four times the
size of Singapore – carbon-dated to be approximately 130 million years old –
older than the Amazon and Congo.
Besides providing a treat
for all Sheila Majid fans, the showcase also aims to highlight the importance
of environmental conservation, a cause deeply ingrained into the corporate DNA
of Belum Conservation, as well as the Pulau Banding Foundation, which was set
up to preserve and protect its natural surroundings.
The announcement of the
showcase and initiative was made today in a press conference attended by Sheila
herself, as well as Ahmad Khalif bin Tan Sri Mustapha Kamal, Executive Director
of Belum Conservation and Dato’ Dr. Abdul Rashid Malik, Chief Executive Officer
of the Pulau Banding Foundation.
Pulau Banding Foundation
is a non-profit and non-political organisation which promotes research and
eco-tourism through the sustainable development of the rainforest ecosystem of
the Belum-Temengor Rainforest Complex. A portion of the proceeds garnered from
the showcase will be channelled towards the foundation.

According to Ahmad Khalif
bin Tan Sri Mustapha Kamal, Executive Director of Belum Conservation, “Malaysia’s
tiger numbers have plummeted from 500 in 2003 to an all-time low of about
250-340 in 2014. In 2015 the Malayan tiger was re-classified from “Critically
Endangered” from “Endangered” within IUCN’s Red List of Threatened Species. We
at Belum Conservation would like to see Belum-Temengor still be in existence
not only in our lifetime or our children’s, but for generations to come. This mission of ours can only succeed when
more people understand the urgency of why it needs to be protected – starting
today.”
Sheila Majid, during the Press Conference said that “It is truly a privilege for me to work
together with Belum Conservation and the Pulau Banding Foundation towards their
noble efforts of promoting environmental conservation. Indeed, the Belum Rainforest
Resort presents a breath-taking venue for this unique initiative, and I
couldn’t think of a better way to introduce my latest album to the world right
here,”
Ever since making her
debut in 1985 with her album Dimensi Baru,
Sheila Majid has evolved into an illustrious career, making her mark not only
in Asia but around the world as well, with a series of international firsts. In
1990, she was the first Malaysian artist to break into Japan with her albums Emosi and Warna, as well with her hugely popular single, Sinaran. Six years later, she made history again by becoming the
first Malaysian artist to stage a solo show in London’s famed West End, at the
Royalty Theatre. In December 1996, she accepted an invitation to perform at
Ronnie Scotts’, the jazz Mecca of the Music world.
With this showcase at
Belum Rainforest Resort, Sheila will create another first by holding her first
performance within a rainforest setting.
Have you been to the Belum Rainforest? I have been there many years ago. At that time, the place was still very pure, there was no internet line with a limited telephone line coverage.
We cycled during the day and went for Night Trekking at night. We visited the Orang Asli 'kampung' and we found rafflesia during the jungle exploration trip. It was such a wonderful experience.
