Tycoon’s wife to belly dance for charity

PUAN Sri Chelsia Cheng, wife of tycoon Tan Sri Willian Cheng, will perform a belly dance to raise RM1mil to be donated to charities, China Press reported.

Chelsia, a popular artiste in the 70s, made the statement when asked on how to raise more money for such causes.

“I am not very good in this but this will be my challenge to raise more money,” Chelsia said at the Tzu Chi Charity Sales which was held at the Bukit Jalil Stadium car park.

She had earlier said at her birthday celebration last Friday that if she managed to raise RM500,000 before her next birthday, she would like her husband to donate the same amount for charity.

Chelsia raised RM2,000 within three hours by selling Chinese calligraphy pieces by her at the event on Sunday.
