KUALA LUMPUR
Hong Kong singer-actor Eason Chan Yik-Shun has got not only a big fan following but has a big heart, too.
He showed his charitable side when he was in town to promote his concert next month.
Dubbed the New Generation God of Song by the Chinese media, Chan promised a night of revelry at the Malaysian leg, the ninth stop to his Moving On Stage 2008 world tour.
“This time around I’ll be doing more dancing,'' he said at a press conference here yesterday.
“Some of my costumes will be slightly different from the earlier stops as I’ve discovered from experience that it’s really very hot in Malaysia.”
Chan had paid a goodwill visit to Rumah Charis Children’s Home on Friday to bring cheer to the underprivileged children.
The concert's organiser, Galaxy Group and main sponsor Sports Toto, joined Chan and each made a RM10,000 donation to the home.
Chan will fly to Beijing today to perform at a charity concert to raise funds for victims of the earthquake in China’s Sichuan province.
He would also be conveying Galaxy's cash donation of RM13,916.91 to the victims.
“It’s very difficult for me to read about children being trapped in the rubble for hours and then being asked to choose between losing their limbs or their lives.
“I hope many more people will do their best to help the victims of this disaster. Even the Taiwanese said their country took six years to recover from a major earthquake there,” he said.
Eason Chan Moving On Stage 9 Live in Malaysia 2008 Concert will be staged at Stadium Merdeka on June 14 at 8pm.
