The event also witnessed performances by various artists. One of the performances includes a special choir performance by “爱心合唱团”led by Toh Puan Ena Ling, with UTAR Education Foundation BOT Chairman Tan Sri Sak Cheng Lum, as one of the guitarists. Toh Puan Ena Ling, her choir members and the guitarists have graciously performed at many charity events and helped raised funds for various charities. Tun Dr Ling joined the choir in one of the renditions. In addition, Datuk Eddie Heng Hong Chai, Tan Sri Chuah Hean Teik and Prof Ewe Hong Tat also joined in the choir to perform for the charity.
