KUALA LUMPUR: Radio station SuriaFM is promising lots of fun and excitement at the SuriaFM Green Everyday Concert 2007.
Its chief operating officer Engku Emran Engku Zainal Abidin said Saturday's concert would serve as a platform for all in the family to interact with artistes and share meaningful experiences.
“This is an annual project and not a one-off thing. We hope to organise an even bigger event like this next year,” he said, adding that the concert was for a charitable cause.
Engku Emran said the radio station was inspired by charitable events around the world, and wanted to make an impact locally.
He said the concert was also to promote and improve awareness among the people about energy conservation and climate change.
