#SHOWBIZ: Sheila Majid urges celebrities to be wiser on social media
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia's Queen of Jazz, Datuk Sheila Majid, is urging fellow celebrities to use social media with more thought, warning that too much time online can harm their emotional well-being."We need to be smarter about how we use social media. I'm old-school, so when I post, it's purely to share useful information or raise awareness," the 60-year-old singer told Berita Harian today. Sheila added that she takes her time before posting anything, especially photos, to avoid any negative reactions. "Not everyone is going to like us. I always think very carefully before uploading anything." To protect her mental health, she also steers clear of reading harsh comments. "I don't bother with hurtful remarks. Who knows who they are; it could be an eight-year-old. There's no need to argue; they just want attention." Sheila also manages her own Instagram account and never uses it to vent her frustrations. "There's no benefit in posting when you're angry," she said, though she acknowledged that every celebrity has their own approach. "If someone wants to post eight selfies a day, that's entirely up to them."

The Queen of Jazz is set to perform at the Axiata Arena, Bukit Jalil, Kuala Lumpur on Nov 8. 'For three hours, it's going to be a solid Sheila Majid repertoire,' the 60-year-old singer said at a press conference earlier today (July 15) to announce the show. Although she says she and her team are still finalising the setlist – possibly trimming it to two-and-a-half hours instead of three – one thing is certain: it will feature most of her beloved hits, starting with the crowd-pleaser Sinaran. 'Forty years is a long career. I never imagined being blessed with the love and support of fans who have stood by me all this time,' added Sheila. For the concert, she is teaming up once again with her long-time collaborators who are legendary for their work in the music industry including Mac Chew, Jenny Chin and Jennifer Thompson. Also joining in is Steve Ho, an acclaimed stage and lighting designer who has worked with Cantopop stars like Jacky Cheung and Eason Chan. While there is no significance to the date of the concert, Sheila said there's a significance to the venue picked. Admitting she is feeling a little nervous performing on such a big stage, she adds it is more because she always wants to give her absolute best to her fans. "But having said that, when I started performing 40 years ago, Axiata Arena didn't even exist. We had Stadium Negara, Stadium Merdeka and PWTC. "Now, I thought, why not? It's a major milestone, and this feels like the right time and place to do it," she explained, continuing that she only does big concerts when there's a real reason for it. "The last one I did was Big Band in 2023 at PWTC. But I'd already told fans that I'd be marking my 40th anniversary with something special in 2025. So here we are. "Also, I've realised that I now have Gen Z fans too ... and they're excited to attend as well. "So it made sense to pick a bigger venue (that could accommodate everyone)." Tickets to Sheila Majid 40 Years In Music will go on sale July 17, 10am via Tickets are priced between RM268 and RM768. There's also a "Party Zone" ticket priced at RM3,400, which admits four people.
