It is apt that the first concert dedicated to the songs of Malaysian songwriter Habsah Hassan, who has written lyrics to more than 1,000 songs sung by stars such as Siti Nurhaliza, will be held in Singapore.

Malaysian lyricist who wrote 1,000 songs started career in S'pore

Held at the Esplanade Concert Hall on May 2, Dari Sudut Hati, Habsah Hassan (From The Heart Of Habsah Hassan) features Malay pop veterans and her frequent collaborators, such as Jamal Abdillah, Rahimah Rahim and Salamiah Hassan, singing the hits Habsah wrote in the last five decades.

"I'm very moved there will be a concert of my songs held in Singapore, because that was where I started writing," the 75-year-old tells The Straits Times in a recent Zoom interview from her home in Kuala Lumpur.

The concert, with music from Orkestra Tradisional Malaysia (Traditional Orchestra of Malaysia) - Sounds Of Malaysia, will also feature music acts Sufie Rashid and Rahila Rashun. It is one of the marquee programmes in Pesta Raya 2025.
