AIR RAVES
By ANTHONY THANASAYAN


HERE’S a treat for listeners of 988. In case you don’t already know, the Chinese language broadcaster operated by The Star has been rebroadcasting its highly popular Idol Drama series. Broadcast on Saturdays (7pm-10pm) until mid-October.

Each programme features the voices of local and foreign artistes, among them, Hong Kong’s pop queen Joey Yung, Dylan Kuo (Taiwan), Shi Xin Hui (Singapore) and Gary Cao (Malaysia),

The station’s deejays May and Mike also take part in the drama.

Also tune in to:

U-Turn in Love (Sept 20), Lovebirds featuring Fiona Sit (Sept 27),

Confession of Superman featuring Genie Zhuo (Oct 4) and I Still Remember... Promise with Fish Leong and Ah Niu (Oct 11).

During the holy month of fasting, Sinar FM offers its listeners an opportunity to show their love for the less fortunate.

Together with Nestum, the station is inviting its listeners to bake and share their Nestum recipes. The best cookies will be bought by the broadcaster and donated to a local orphanage of the winner’s choice.

The contest ends on Friday. Visit www.sinar.fm for details.
