Concert to be Resorts World’s debut show

Posted on 3 Nov 2009 | Comments Off

THERE’S no business like show business, as the saying goes, which makes it apt that this year’s ChildAid, on Dec 19-21, will be the first performance staged at Resorts World at Sentosa.

Besides hosting the event at its theatre Festive Grand, Resorts World is also supplying production talent. Entertainment vice-president Andrea Teo is part of the ChildAid production team, together with renowned musician and Cultural Medallion recipient Iskandar Ismail and a member of her entertainment team, Jason Ramsburg.

Iskandar has penned an original composition which will be performed by the children. More than 250 performers will take part in this year’s concert, which will include a 70-strong orchestra and 50 recorder players.

Fifteen-year-old singer Amni Musfirah, from the School of the Arts, and eight-year-old drummer Zidann Zalizann, from Greenridge Primary School, are among those set to return this year after wowing the crowd last year.

This is expected to address issues such as junket promoters’ eligibility, licensing fees, and disclosure of commissions, junket participants names and even junket schedules.

The junket promoter’s job is to arrange junkets for a select group of people to gamble at a specific casino by offering ‘comps’ – complimentary transportation, food, lodging and entertainment. Their services can also include arranging for credit.

In Macau, junket promoters are thought to be responsible for all the high-roller VIP business, which constitutes almost 70 per cent of the Special Administrative Region’s (SAR) total gaming revenue. However, junket promoters there have operated largely unregulated until the industry was expanded in 2004 to include other players such as Las Vegas Sands and Wynn. Continue reading →
