Jackie Visits SUTD in Singapore

Jackie paid a visit to the Singapore University of Technology and Design today.













Jackie Chan visited the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) on Tuesday much to the delight of students there.

He dropped by the interim campus at Dover Road to view the university and have a look at the four traditional Chinese architectural structures he donated to the university in 2009.

The structures, which are from his personal collection, consist of a pavilion, an opera stage and two houses. They are from the Ching and Ming dynasty, and are made from ancient wood.

The structures will be eventually housed at the permanent SUTD campus in Changi. The first phase of the Changi campus will be ready by 2015.

KUANTAN: With the presence of Hong Kong superstar Jackie Chan, an astounding RM3mil was raised from the auction of two Richard Mille watches and a painting during SM Chong Hwa’s fund-raising dinner and concert.

Each of the items went for RM1mil, putting the total collections at RM13.5mil.

Other large contributions came from president of the Associated Chinese Chambers of Commerce Tan Sri William Cheng, Hua Lian Group chairman Tan Sri Ta Kin Yan and the school’s board chairman Tan Sri Pheng Yin Huah.

Between them, they donated a total of RM1.5mil for two of Chan’s encore songs.

Chan received a thunderous welcome from the 10,000-strong crowd when he arrived at the event held at Stadium Darul Makmur last night.

Clad in a stylish black and white shirt, Chan effortlessly charmed the crowd with his humble demeanour and bright smile, as the crowd waved their hands wildly and gathered around the stage to be close to him.

After the auction, he thrilled the crowd with a rendition of Mandarin song titled Guo Jia (Nation) and also sang Zhen Xin Ying Xiong (True Heroes) as an encore, before the successful concert-cum-dinner ended about midnight.

Across the road, at the final stop of the Jelajah Janji Ditepati event, there was a stunning display of fireworks, timed coincidentally to also celebrate the funds raised from the auction and was greeted with wild applause from the crowd in the stadium.

Pheng earlier said he hoped the event would raise at least RM10mil to go towards the total RM30mil funds needed for the school’s construction.

Cheng and Pheng donated RM500,000 each for Chan to perform the first encore, while Ta forked out RM500,000 for the second song.

Also present were Chinese Ambassador to Malaysia Datuk Chai Xi and MCA leaders Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai, Datuk Seri Dr Ng Yen Yen and Datuk Dr Wee Ka Siong.

JEDDAH: Chinese action superstar Jackie Chan has been invited to attend the 28th Janadriyah National Festival of Heritage and Culture as a cultural ambassador. China will be the guest of honor this year at the festival, where it will showcase the essence of Chinese culture, economic achievements, and scientific innovations. The event will start on April 4.

“We are honored to be this year’s guest of honor and we have sent an invitation to Jackie Chan to attend as he is the cultural ambassador. We have a role to showcase our traditions and cultures at the event,” said Li Chengwen, Chinese ambassador in Riyadh. “We are still waiting for a confirmation from his side to attend and as soon as we know for sure, we will spread the word to make people come and join us at the festival,” he added.

Every year, the popular Saudi heritage festival invites a different country to attend as a guest to showcase its cultural tradition and heritage alongside the Saudi heritage. The Janadriyah festival showcased its events at the Chinese Capital Museum in Beijing, wherein Chan received a certificate appointing him as an honorary chairman of his country’s pavilion at the festival. A press conference was held last Monday and was attended by officials from the Chinese Ministry of Culture, Beijing municipality and organizing committees, in addition to the Saudi Ambassador to China, Yahya Al-Zaid, and representatives of agencies that will participate in the festival.

Deputy Director General of the Bureau for External Cultural Relations at the Chinese Ministry of Culture, Zhang Aiping, and Al-Zaid were pleased about the participation of China in Janadriyah as a guest of honor.

Aiping and Al-Zaid later exchanged flags that read in Chinese and Arabic, “China is a country shining beauty,” which is the slogan adopted by China for the festival.

The event will be an opportunity to highlight the robustness of the relations between Saudi Arabia and China in the political, economic and cultural areas, according to Chengwen.

“The Saudi public and Arabs will have a good opportunity to gain insights into the rich Chinese culture through the special stand at the Janadriyah festival,” he added.

"Homeland" Lyrics

"Homeland" Lyrics. Translation to follow.

《国土》

我站在这块土地上
天涯海角连着四面八方
丹心照汗青不只一个人在想
我的国土 我的声音回荡

我用血肉筑起的墙
再大风浪也不停止站岗
精忠报国不只刻在肌肤之上
我的国土 我的名字一样

寸土不让 大好河山
守土卫国 守土为家
身作河山 心愿一起痴狂
好儿女 生当去征疆场

寸土不让 肝胆荣光
天下兴亡 匹夫怎能相忘
大同世界 心做和平肩膀
八千里路云和月 天地忠良
