Up close and personal with Jeff and Sky In an exclusive interview with Jeff and Sky, YTL Community's Joanne Tay finds out what they love about this multi-ethnic country, their fans, and their passion for charity concerts. Tay: I understand you haven't been to Malaysia in quite a while, what are the changes you have noticed about the country since your last visit? Jeff: My trip here this time is quite short but I do see a lot of changes compared to when I was here three years ago. Besides the KLCC Twins Towers and a few other buildings, I find that there are a lot of new buildings, malls and hotels that I don't recognise. I remember when I came the last time the Monorail was under construction but now it's ready and running. There are also a lot of new reporters that I don't recognise. What do you think of your Malaysian fans? Jeff: The Malaysian fans are very warm and friendly. Since I seldom come to Malaysia to perform and usually go to Singapore, I am touched that the Malaysian fans will travel all the way to Singapore for my concert, like the last one I held in September, where I saw a lot of Malaysian fans there. Sky: I happen to be the opposite of Jeff and come to Malaysia almost every year but I haven't been to Singapore for nearly 3-4 years. So, my Singapore fans have been coming to Malaysia to see me perform instead. I find my the fans here are really supportive and faithful. There are many who have supported me since their schooldays and are still supporting me now. How did both of you get to be involved in this charity concert? Jeff: Someone contacted our agents and our agents contacted us and told us about this idea of a charity concert. So, we thought it was a good idea to combine a concert together with a charity drive to raise funds, furthermore it being the Christmas season. Not only can we hold a concert for our fans but also at the same time we can also help the less fortunate. Not only in Malaysia but in other places as well, if there is a charity concert, we would be more than happy to perform and help out. Sky: I am very happy that we can participate in this charity concert and use some love and care to help those in need. I also came last year to Miri to perform for a charity concert to raise funds for a dialysis centre. I have also performed in Vietnam, Beijing and Shanghai all for charity purposes. When was your last visit to Malaysia? Sky: The last time I came here was about a year ago. What do you like about Malaysia? Jeff: The last time when I came, I like to visit the local market to look at unique things made the various races. If I come across interesting things, I would buy it home as decorative items such as the rattan ball and batik material. I find it very beautiful and bought a lot home. There is one place that I really want to visit and that is East Malaysia as I have never been there before. This is because I like nature and beaches and I am into water sports. I would like to visit a nice island in East Malaysia for a few days and go diving. This is what I currently really, really want to do. Sky: Every time I come to Malaysia, it's for work so I don't really have the opportunity to visit the local markets and tourist places. But the places that I have been to while on work are Johor Bahru, Malacca, Kluang, Ipoh, East Coast and Penang. However, I had the opportunity to come here for a holiday with my friends a few years ago and I went to Pangkor Island. It was very beautiful and natural. The chalet where I stayed was near a jungle and there were a lot of monkeys. They were very fierce and would snatch our food. Even before our breakfast came, they were already knocking on the door as if asking, “Where is my breakfast?” The impression I have of Malaysia is that there is a lot of tourist spots to visit and a lot of jungles and forests. There are also a lot of small little islands suitable for tourists .....to be continued -- 看著天空 想著伍思凱 想你的天空　想念伍思凱 --
