00:00The Taiwanese rock duo Power Station delivered an unforgettable performance at the Esplanade,

00:08captivating audiences with their five-song set.

00:12Each track garnered increasingly enthusiastic responses from the crowd,

00:16who sang along passionately and illuminated the venue with synchronized phone flashlights.

00:21The legendary band demonstrated their enduring appeal

00:24during what many considered the standout act of 988FM's two-day after-work fest.

00:31In a memorable moment that highlighted their connection with fans,

00:35Power Station paused mid-performance,

00:37allowing the audience to seamlessly continue singing every word of the lyrics.

00:46The energy remained high as fans waved their devices in rhythm with the music,

00:51creating a sea of lights that complemented the performance.

00:55The festival's second day featured additional performances from several artists,

01:00including Bestards, Anson Poon, Chronicles Ong Fuyin and Jud Chen.

01:05The fest, organized by popular Chinese-language radio station 988FM

01:11in conjunction with its 29th anniversary,

01:14was a roaring success as the crowd poured in from all over on both days.

01:19It embodied the spirit of play with passion, play with purpose,

01:22in line with the station's annual theme, infinite play.

01:27The event also featured 50 creative and artisanal booths

01:31that offered workshops to carve wooden chopsticks,

01:34make decorated origami fans and other arts and crafts.

01:38The fest also saw a hair donation campaign and fundraiser offering free haircuts

01:47for those willing to donate their hair.

01:50Proceeds would be benefiting Locks of Hope, National Cancer, Society, Malaysia

01:56and Childhood Cancer Caregiver's Support Organization.

02:04988FMDJ Christina Ong, who initiated the hair donation drive,

02:09donated her hair to the cause.

02:11Today, I'm very, very, super excited

02:13because it's always been my dream, you know,

02:16to hold a charity campaign

02:18by keeping my long hair

02:21or encouraging more people to come along.

02:23So, for this campaign itself,

02:26to be honest, I've been preparing for almost 7 to 10 years

02:30just to, you know, get it accomplished.

02:32So, for me, today is really, really excited.

02:35Okay, doesn't it mean something to say you don't like?

02:37Oh, I'm not sure.

02:38I think it's around, what do you think?

02:42I think it's around, what do you think?

02:43I think it's around, what do you think?

02:43It's around, what do you think it's around, 50?

02:44You know, you have to get angry with it.

02:46Yeah, 50.

02:47Okay, and what inspired you to come up with this campaign?

02:50This campaign, it all goes back to, like,

02:53almost 10 years ago.

02:55Ever since the first day, I've kept my hair long.

02:58Always a stick to just my hair.

03:00But, you know, as time goes by,

03:02so, no, I'm real a little bit sad

03:04for me to just cut it myself.

03:06So, I think it's kind of like a missionary feel

03:10that I should ask all four people to join me.

03:14So, from that moment, I've been wrapping

03:16for a bigger campaign

03:18so I can call and shout out to more people

03:21to come together.
