As a veteran in the Malaysian music industry, Ong Peng Chu says he was completely taken aback by how fast China’s music industry fell in love with Shila Amzah when he first took her to the mainland.

“When we introduced Shila Amzah to the Chinese, they simply loved her. It was then that I realised that Chinese people are a very welcoming audience who can easily embrace an endless diversity in cultures. They even requested that I bring a greater variety of talents from our region,” said Ong, who used to focus on the local music scene.
