Mawi in Kelantan

Some words from Mawi:

“Saya suka sistem pengasingan penonton yang dilaksanakan dalam konsert ini. Seelok-eloknya kita asingkan penonton lelaki dan wanita kerana ia dapat mengelak berlaku perkara tidak baik,”

And why this concert was very special to him and all his fans.....

Buat pertama kalinya juga, ibu Mawi, Ramlah Sarlan yang sebelum ini tidak pernah menyaksikan persembahan anak kebanggaan keluarga itu, hadir sama dalam konsert bersama suaminya, Ani Ahmad. (source: Metro Ahad 2 Sept 2005)
