"My focus right now is solely on this concert. All other matters will be handled by the responsible parties."
Without revealing who would be handling the issue, AC Mizal said that 4U2C would also perform three new songs, which he believed would not pose any problems.

Earlier, Man Senoi and Mama Rap informed Harian Metro that they held the full copyright to 4U2C's songs but were not informed about the concert's organisation.
The two also shared details about 4U2C's beginnings, which they founded, and the struggles they faced to ensure the group could establish itself in the country's music industry.

Making music while learning music
MUSIC student Ameer Asyraf Nor Azmi from Negri Sembilan, earns his own pocket money by playing the violin to cover his expenses, Harian Metro reported. The third-semester Bachelor of Music Education student at Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI) who does not come from a well-to-do family started playing the violin to earn money two years ago while pursuing his diploma. The youngest of five siblings said that he continued the idea of earning pocket money because he had no problem dividing his time well, especially when accepting invitations to perform. 'I come from a poor family, so I was taught from a young age to work on my own if I wanted something. 'I have been earning money since I was in school by working part-time as a catering crew, an assistant at a Middle Eastern restaurant and a convenience store. 'So, when I continued my diploma studies and could play the violin, I used this talent to 'make a living' as a musician even though I am still an amateur,' said Ameer Asyraf, 22, who plans to become a teacher after graduating. > Actress Nadiya Nisaa has worked with directors who were not on the same 'frequency' with her, causing the filming to be tedious, Berita Harian reported. Nadiya whose real name is Nadiyatul Nisaa Kamaruddin, 40, said the experience several years ago made it difficult for her to bring out her best performance. 'I have experience working with directors who have different 'frequency'. This is very difficult. I feel like going back while filming because I felt there was no point in continuing. 'I want to have fun while working. So, when I don't have fun, I feel useless, stupid and not convincing as an actor. 'I thought my performance was not satisfying enough. At that time, I just wanted to finish filming quickly. 'However, I am always grateful because that rarely happens,' she said. Following the experience, Nadiya said she always hoped to work with good directors. The above article is compiled from the vernacular newspapers (Bahasa Malaysia, Chinese and Tamil dailies).
