ANDAMAN Group organised a charity concert recently to raise funds and awareness for SMJK (C) Sam Tet and Yayasan Pendidikan John Moh as part of its corporate social responsibility to the community.
The group’s executive chairman Datuk Patrick Teoh extended a helping hand by contributing toward these causes.
Funds raised from the concert will be shared equally between the two beneficiaries. It will be used for school maintenance, school activities, upgrading of educational facilities, as well as helping underprivileged students in need.
SMJK (C) Sam Tet is an all boys national school in Ipoh, Perak. It was built in 1934.

The concert held at the Bentley Music Auditorium, Mutiara Damansara was a sellout.
The two-hour concert themed “The Jazzy Sounds of Teresa Teng” was led by pianist and music director Tay Cher Siang, and aided by famed guitarist Roger Wang and Winnie Ho, a distinguished vocalist.
Winnie Ho was the champion of the 2000 Astro Talent Quest, and is known as one of the best Chinese jazz songstress in Malaysia.
By combining Teresa Teng’s songs with jazz, she presented a modern interpretation of evergreen hits.
The next concert themed “In the Mood for Love” will be held at The Syuen Hotel, Ipoh at 8pm on Nov 25. It will be led by vocalist Lydia Chew and Z Yan.
