Bandar Seri Begawan - Indonesian artistes scheduled to perform in the "Konsert Dangdut Indonesia KDI 2007" on February 10, flew home yesterday after authorities withdrew approval of the show.

According to organisers, Asey Production, the show that was to be held this Thursday at the Amphitheatre, Jerudong Park Country Club from 7.30pm till 12am, had received an encouraging response with only four tickets left unsold.

They added that they were saddened by the withdrawal of approval. They had appealed to authorities to allow the concert to go on but had been denied. Asey Production said estimated losses from the concert cancellation were around $135,000.

A representative from the management of KDI, Athie, said she was disappointed to not be able to perform on February 10. She hoped fans here in Brunei will be patient and continue to support KDI. She added that she also felt sorry for the organisers who stood to lose a considerable amount from the cancellation.

According to her, they have never had a last minute cancellation before, however she was still hopeful that she would be able to perform in Brunei in the future.

Those who have purchased their tickets can refund them from where the purchase was made, organisers said. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
