Family of stars: Ziana Zain, Anuar Zain, Ernie Zakri and Syamel unite for ‘Empat' concert in KL this October
Speaking about the concert, which will take place at Mega Star Arena in Bukit Bintang here on Oct 18, Anuar said it is a tribute to their family's artistic journey, while also establishing themselves as a brand in the local music industry.
''Empat' (four) isn't just a number. It's a collaboration among four artistes from the same family. We hope it will become a legacy and a historic moment for us.
'We also hope it will be something people talk about for a long time,' he said at a press conference recently.
To further excite fans, the four will also be releasing a brand-new single in conjunction with the concert, centered around the theme of universal love and composed by Edry Abdul Halim.
Anuar, who worked with Edry about 15 years ago on the hit song 'Sedetik Lebih', described him as a smart and experienced songwriter and composer.
'When we met Edry, he gave us two song options. But one of them really captured our hearts. Without saying much, the four of us immediately agreed once we heard it,' he said.
Anuar added that Edry understood the vocal characteristics of all four singers and crafted an arrangement that suited them well, which made the recording process smooth from start to finish.

Organised by Anuar Zain Network in collaboration with Altus ProHouse, 'Konsert Empat Live In Kuala Lumpur 2025' is expected to be one of the most memorable music events of the year.
Meanwhile, Ziana said the concert not only fulfills the dreams of loyal fans who have supported their artistic journeys but also marks a special moment for their family.
'We want this concert to be the most meaningful moment in their (fans') lives and ours too. Hopefully, it becomes a beautiful story to be remembered even when we are no longer here,' she said, adding the concert is expected to feature over 20 songs which they will perform solo or as a duet or group.
Ernie, who grew up watching her uncle and aunt performing on stage, described the concert as a dream come true.
'When I was told the concert was going to happen, I felt a mix of emotions – touched, overwhelmed and proud. This is a major moment in my life,' she said.
The concert will be directed by Jennifer Thompson while the music director is Lee Sze Wan.

Sarawak's ‘Little Bornean Birdie' soars to silver at Dance World Cup Finals in Spain
KUCHING, July 6 — Sarawakian talent Dion Das Louis, fondly known as the 'Little Bornean Birdie', has made the state and country proud by clinching second place at the prestigious Dance World Cup World Finals in Burgos, Spain. The nine-year-old SK Green Road pupil represented Malaysia in the Mini Solo National and Folklore category, performing an ethnic creative dance inspired by the traditional Ngajat Iban and two of Sarawak's iconic birds – the Burung Ruai (Great Argus) and the Kenyalang Hornbill. He outshone 34 other contestants from around the world, scoring an impressive 93.8 points – just 0.3 points behind the gold medallist from Germany. 'Truth be told, I was initially nervous as there were a lot of good dancers from all over the world at the competition,' he told The Borneo Post in a WhatsApp message conveyed through his mother Edina Lanying. 'But I am very happy and proud to have made it this far on the international stage and given the opportunity to compete against the 34 dancers,' he added. Dion's performance was accompanied by original music composed by local bands Sada Borneo and At Adau. His vibrant parade costume was specially designed by Sarawakian designer Gilbert Headhunter, who is based in Kuala Lumpur. 'We are incredibly proud of Dion's achievement. It was a tough one as there were a lot of amazing dancers at the competition,' said Edina. She added that she and her husband, Louis Lansam, plan to enrol Dion in more international events next year, and hope to see him represent Malaysia at global cultural festivals. The family also expressed heartfelt gratitude to the sponsors who made Dion's journey possible, including the Ministry of Tourism, Creative Industry and Performing Arts Sarawak; Sarawak Land Consolidation and Rehabilitation Authority (Salcra); Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture; Ghee Hua Group of Companies; Kelab Kaban Golf Samarahan; International Education Legacy Foundation; and the United Asia Entrepreneur Chamber of Commerce. Dion's achievement drew praise from Deputy Premier Datuk Amar Dr Sim Kui Hian, who congratulated the young talent in a post on his official Facebook page. 'Heartiest congratulations to Dion for winning 2nd Place (Mini Solo National & Folklore – Ethnic Creative) at the 2025 World Finals of Dance World Cup!' he wrote. — The Borneo Post

Ujang's next chapter: How Malaysia's cartoon pioneer reinvented himself after losing his creations
KUALA LUMPUR, July 6 — In the pre-social media landscape of 1980s and '90s Malaysia, entertainment often came from television cartoons, outdoor activities, and the simple joy of a good comic book. Amidst international titles, one local comic magazine truly resonated nationwide, its name still fondly remembered by those who grew up in that era: Ujang. This iconic magazine was brought to life by Malaysian cartoonist Ibrahim Anon, 59, known widely by his pen name, Ujang. A familiar name in the local cartoon scene, he was celebrated for his humour, storytelling, and art that distinctly highlighted Malaysian identity. The magazine famously introduced characters like Usop Sontorian, later adapted into a beloved animated series co-created by Ujang himself and the late Kamn Ismail. The popularity of Usop Sontorian, and later Keluang Man, is a testament to their cultural impact — as those who grew up in that period would likely attest. 'Even today, many decades later, when I attend book exhibitions or pameran kartun (cartoon exhibition) events, people still remember me as the creator of Usop Sontorian. It's not just the adults who grew up with it — even children from this generation know these characters,' Ujang said. The classic and popular 90s Ujang magazine on display, which was brought to life by Ujang himself. — Picture by Firdaus Latif Decades have passed since the series stopped airing and the Ujang magazine ceased publication. The journey has not been easy for the cartoonist, who has faced bankruptcy, lawsuits, and the loss of rights to his past creations, which are now registered under different ownership. 'Back in 1993, none of my works were registered under the Copyright Act 1987,' Ujang recalled. 'I was naive and unaware of how to protect my intellectual property, and there wasn't much awareness about it at the time.' Ujang 2.0: Life after the limelight Fast forward to 2025, Ujang has since explored diverse ventures. He partnered with MCT Official to organise Monsoon Casting, a fishing tournament held during Malaysia's monsoon season, typically in Terengganu. He has also ventured into the gold bar business, collaborating with KABGold to produce limited edition 0.5g and 1g gold bars featuring his artwork. Despite branching out, Ujang's cartoonist spirit remains undiminished. 'I still do the artwork for banners at the Monsoon Casting events,' he said. 'The same goes for my venture into gold bars; if it involves any artwork, I'll be the one drawing it.' He has also produced a five-episode anti-drug animated short titled Lebih Baik Cegah: Adiwira Penegak Keamanan. Today, he continues to draw and create animations, primarily using software like Autodesk, sharing his art on Facebook and TikTok — not as a business, but as a personal passion.

'There were many aspiring cartoonists in the past, but now there are even more — because they have the facilities,' he noted. According to Ujang, digital platforms have opened new avenues for artists to build careers and publish their work independently. 'Back then, artists had the talent and the passion, but they often lacked the platform. The only way to get a comic published was through a traditional publisher, and only if it was accepted,' he explained. When asked for advice for today's local comic artists, Ujang humbly demurred. 'I believe young people today are so knowledgeable that it's no longer the older generation guiding the young, but often the other way around.' The Ghibli Effect: Why Ujang thinks anime still rules 2D for Malaysians Ujang personally feels that when it comes to 2D animation, Malaysians are often more drawn to Japanese anime, particularly the works of studios like Studio Ghibli. While 2D animation is still loved, he notes that many local animators have shifted their focus to creating 3D animation. Ujang sketches a character on the spot after an interview with Malay Mail. — Picture by Firdaus Latif 'It's not that the appreciation for 2D has vanished — rather, the success and opportunities in 3D animation have encouraged many to pursue it instead,' he explained. According to Ujang, very few local animators now specialize in 2D, with 3D having become the dominant medium, partly due to limited opportunities in traditional 2D. However, he remains optimistic, stating that today's Malaysian animation has the potential to reach Hollywood standards. Still in the picture In addition to his artistic pursuits, Ujang — no stranger to the film industry, having appeared in the 1996 film Yes Tuan — is set to play a small role in the upcoming live-action series Metaloka by Anithink Studios, scheduled for release later this year. When asked if he would ever return to being a full-time cartoonist, he replied, 'I'm tired and in a very happy place now, so I would only continue drawing for fun.' They say you should never forget those who opened doors — and Ujang was undeniably one of them. He helped pave the way for Malaysia's comic and animation scene, and he remains just as excited to see where it goes from here.

(Ukas pic) PETALING JAYA : Sarawak's 'Little Bornean Birdie', nine-year-old dancer Dion Das Louis, has clinched second place at the Dance World Cup finals held in Spain yesterday. Dion, from Kuching, represented Malaysia in the mini solo national and folklore category, where he performed a dance inspired by the traditional Ngajat Iban and two of Sarawak's iconic birds, the burung ruai (great argus) and the kenyalang (hornbill). He scored 93.8 points, just 0.3 points behind the gold medallist from Germany, coming ahead of 34 other contestants from around the world in the competition, which is billed as the world's largest all-genre dance competition for children and young adults. Speaking to the Borneo Post, Dion said he was initially nervous as there were many good dancers from all over the world. 'But I am very happy and proud to have made it this far on the international stage and given the opportunity to compete against the 34 dancers,' he was quoted as saying. His mother, Edina Lanying, said she and her husband, Louis Lansam, plan to enrol Dion in more international events next year, and hope to see him represent Malaysia at global cultural festivals. In July last year, Dion won gold medals in the junior division ethnic dance and photo shoot model categories of the World Championships of Performing Arts in Long Beach, California. He also won a silver medal in the formal model and casual model categories.
