It was an honour for
Malaysia to host
Arthur's Day tonight,
25th September 2009 in
Sunway Lagoon. The highlight of the celebration is none other then the
famous US hip-hop group,
Black Eyed Peas. Currently they are
topping the
music charts with their wicked beats of
Boom Boom Pow and
I Gotta Feeling. And to mention their latest single titled
Meet Me Halfway which was totally awesome !!
Taiwanese rapper MC HotDog,
MJ116,
Joe Flizzow, Reshmonu, Danny One and Man Hand, making up for
one hell of a show tonight !!
Malaysia is lucky enough to join cities
Dublin,
New York,
Yaounde and
Lagos as a host for the
Arthur's Day celebration.
Guinness has organised a
global celebration for
Arthur's Day which starts in
Dublin at
1759 GMT on
Sept 24 (
1.59am Malaysian time, Sept 25) with glasses being raised to
Arthur Guinness in over
150 countries.
Also,
Arthur’s Day will unveil the
Arthur’s Fund in
Malaysia, which will be used to enable and empower individuals with the skills and opportunities to
deliver a measured benefit to their local community.
The downside is only
non-Muslim above
18 years of age will be allowed into the venue. It is learnt that
music concert rules disallow breweries or alcoholic drinks makers from sponsoring such events but the
ministry relented as the concert is expected to
boost the tourism industry affected by the
recession and the
A(H1N1) flu outbreak.
Thanks to
Guinness, we are able to celebrate this
250 years once in a lifetime of awesome night of celebration !!
