Press Release 9th March
Fans of major acts like Black Eyed Peas, Boyz II Men and Backstreet Boys will have the chance to catch them in concert and at the same time help rebuild countries affected by the Dec 26 tsunami.
The Force of Nature concert, to be held on March 18 at Stadium Putra in Bukit Jalil, Kuala Lumpur, will include major local performers and artistes from Hong Kong, India, China and the United States.
The Prime Minister’s Special Envoy for Tsunami Disaster Aid and Assistance Tan Sri Razali Ismail said the event would be broadcast live with the help of media mogul Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp.
Event organiser, the newly launched Force of Nature Foundation, hopes to raise RM10mil from the concert, he said at a press conference at the TV3 headquarters in Sri Pentas. Razali said he hoped Malaysians would support the event even though they had earlier donated generously to tsunami victims. He added that they hoped to fill the 80,000-capacity stadium and that ticket prices and ticketing locations would be determined in a week's time.
The foundation, launched at the media briefing yesterday, is a fund-raising vehicle which comprises private organisations and individuals from here and abroad. The foundation will provide assistance to tsunami victims and to victims of other natural disasters. Razali, who is also the foundation's special ambassador, added that prominent Malaysians like Datuk Michelle Yeoh were among its members.
Press Release 7th March
Backstreet Boys, Black Eyed Peas and other international acts are hoping their music can help soothe the trauma of the Dec 26 Tsunami when they gather for a "Force of Nature" charity concert in Malaysia this month.
"If we can lend our music to a situation something of this nature, to bring a relief to the situation, we'll always do that," said Wanya Morris of the Grammy-winning R&B quartet Boyz II Men, one of the bands that will perform in Kuala Lumpur on March 18.
The Force of Nature Concert for Tsunami Aid is the first initiative of a nonprofit organization in Kuala Lumpur dedicated to raising funds and awareness for the victims of natural disasters, spearheaded by former Malaysian diplomat Razali Ismail, the country's tsunami envoy. Proceeds will go toward rebuilding communities devastated by the tsunami in Indonesia, Thailand, Sri Lanka and India.
A total of 173,041 to 182,340 people died in 11 countries, most of them in Indonesia. The number of missing ranges from 107,985 to 129,897. Some 60,000 children were orphaned. Joining Boyz II Men are Black Eyed Peas, boy band Backstreet Boys, and Lauryn Hill and Wyclef Jean, former members of hip-hop trio the Fugees. "When you see something like that (tsunami) happen, that is just incomprehensible. You want to definitely do anything you can possibly to raise money to even just lift people's spirits up and make them happy again," said Nick Carter of Backstreet Boys.
A transcript of the comments of the artists made in a promotional video taped Thursday was sent to The Associated Press on Friday. The videotapes were distributed to television stations worldwide (As seen on Astro).
"The relief part of it is done. But now comes the hard part with the reconstruction and redevelopment. It's also trying to heal these deep wounds they have undergone; to overcome the trauma," Razali said, speaking on the videotape.
