Artistes such as Taiwan’s Chou Hui and Hong Kong’s Jenny Tseng will also perform during the televised fundraiser, along with Singapore singers Liu Ling Ling and Hao Hao.
Local celebrities Kym Ng, Paige Chua, Tay Ping Hui and Desmond Tan will sing the show’s theme song as the evening’s opening act.
“I’m really excited to get this opportunity to sing! Most people may not know this, but I actually started out as a singer, and released a few albums before becoming an actress and a host. Still, we won’t be singing a pop song, so I’ll have to make sure I get the tone right!” said Ng at a media conference for the show.
Vivian Lai, Zhang Zhen Huan, Jeffrey Xu, Pierre Png and a few others will be doing their bit for charity by blowing up balloons to create a balloon sculpture over the course of the three-hour show.
“I haven’t started preparing for this balloon sculpture segment yet, but I did inflate a few balloons consecutively in the past, and halfway through, I was out of breath and my face was pale, so I think I’ll have to take frequent breaks. It will be a pretty big challenge!” said Xu.
