Karam Singh Walia (TV3) at my house at the kampung
July 12th, 2007Yes, he really did on 25th May 2007. He was on a break between programs. It was a Friday and I was bogged down with work until 6pm. So, unfortunately I was not able to be there. He was there for around 4 hours starting 4 something pm.

Karam’s note to my younger brother:
Note: if your comment does not appear immediately - it is being held in moderation. I will make it visible as soon as possible. Thanks for your comment!
whoaa.. for real? whats he doing there?
did he leave any “pantun” or whatsoever?
Yes, he did quite a few pantuns, some of which cannot be republished
Wah, cool.
i noe unrepublished pantun.. should i say it ? hehehe!!
Noooooooooo, we’ll all get into trouble……………….
Err.. who is he? I don’t watch TV much la even when I have Astro subscription
Basically he’s a celebrity. Google his name and you will know. Someone commented that “if Michael Chong is seen as a saviour of sorts to battered wives and loan shark victims, then journalist Karam Singh Walia is nature’s knight (environmental issues).” Add to that his own unique & very muhibbah way of presenting. Another prominent local blogger said that he thought Karam “single-handedly revived peribahasa usage on television.”
..right. That’s really cool. He happened to be your buddy too!
Unfortunately no, I’ve never even met him, he’s a colleague (+ of course buddy) of my brother.
Wah Bon…u never told me anything…hehe….. famous pla ko ni…hahaha….
Referring to my earlier comment, I meant my other brother, not the brother (Ezbon) to whom the letter was directed.
And Hey Mandak: the CDs you gave are marvellous, although I only had a quick listen thru one or two.
HEYYYY…. U POSTED THAT PIC AND NOTES TO GORIB TOOOOO??
At least I didnt post the other thing…
next time i bring amy searchhhh to fire house… and ask him to sing isabella, nirwana, fantasia bulan madu, rozana, pawana, fenomena, gadisku, gadis misteri, mentari merah di ufuk timur, pelesit kota, langit dan bumi, sebatang tongkat untuk berdiri, warghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I had probably a delusion in 1996 that I was partly responsible for persuading Michael Learns To Rock to perform live in KK. Why? Because I was an active participant of their website then and communicated via a few emails with their manager, Mikkel Lentz (if I remember correctly). In the email I urged them to consider performing in Sabah a few months before they were due to perform, and I was so shocked when they really did come! If not mistaken, they only date in Malaysia!
My point is: I wanted to bring Jascha Richter and gang to Firehouse and have an impromptu acoustic jam session to total classics like 25 Minutes, The Actor and Paint My Love over a pail of singgarung or ten!!!
