The twelve talents who participated in one of the most successful ever Malaysian entertainment programmes - Akademi Fantasia - will be spending their Hari Raya in Brunei Darussalam with their fans in a concert scheduled to be held on Dec 6.

Accompanied by the programme announcer Aznil Nawi, the 12 talents -Vince, Khai, Azizi, Nija, Liza, Sahri, Rosma, Nana, Burn, Atie, Adi and Azza will be performing at the JPCC Amphitheatre, Jerudong in a concert that will help boost the tourism industry here as agreed by the Brunei Tourism Department.

Organised by an experienced entertainment company in Brunei Darussalam, their concert is expected to bring an influx of tourists from Federal Territory of Labuan, Sabah, Limbang and Lawas.

The organiser stated that a myriad of activities will be held while the 12 stars are here such as meet-the-fans session, television appearance and radio interviews.

"At the meet-the-fans session, we are planning various activities which definitely include photo sessions, questions and answers and autograph signing. We may also include games and a quiz too," a spokesperson said.

The popularity of the Astro and Kristal Astro programme cannot be denied.

In Brunei Darussalam alone the audience was estimated to be in the region of 100,000 while in Malaysia, millions of people never missed the Saturday night programme, which ended recently after much hype and glamour with Vince as the winner.
