Thousands of party-goers bade goodbye to 2019 and welcomed the new decade with a bang at the Mutiara Damansara Commercial Centre’s (MDCC) annual New Year Eve Countdown party.
The MDCC is made up of three large shopping malls – the Curve, eCurve and IPC Shopping Centre which jointly hosted the spectacular, music-filled celebration with revellers from all walks of life, and the dazzling display of fireworks.
The star-studded line-up of local musical acts included Manbai, Geraldine Gan and Syafeek Ikhwan. Phat Fabes, who was the emcee for the night, entertained the audience with his signature gusto and flair.
Opening the concert was local band The Colours, followed by Anak Seni Warisan who performed feel good and upbeat tunes to get the crowd on their feet.
Fans of singer and Champion of i-Sing World 2018, Syafeek Ikhwan sang and danced along to songs including his latest single Suratan Ketentuan and others such as Jampi, You’re the Reason, Ragaman along with other 90s medleys.
The audience was fired up by the time the next performers came out on stage.
Asia’s Got Talent season three finalist, NAMA, the hijab-clad girl group, blew the crowd away with their show-stopping performance.
With her charming façade, singer, actress, and former champion of Astro Star Quest, Geraldine Gan then wooed the crowd as she performed her hit single One Step Along.
With the clock counting down to the final minutes of the year, popular rock singer of yesteryears, Man Bai, ended the show on a high note with his soulful renditions, including his iconic 1995 hit song Kau Ilhamku which had the audience singing along.
When the clock struck midnight, the MDCC skies lit up with fireworks and everyone reveled to usher in the new year 2020 with a bright smile on their faces and shouts of ‘Happy New Year’. It was a mesmerising sight as family and loved ones, and friends also took this time to exchange well wishes.
The Curve senior general manager Jazmi Kamarudin, eCurve acting centre manager Gina Long Ahmad and IPC Shopping Centre centre manager Karyn Lim hoped everyone enjoyed the spectacular countdown and wished all a happy New Year.
