RF Band in Sungai Koyan - September 6, 2026 - Part 2

With reference to Part 1, RF Band was now in Sungai Koyan for our second gig of the day, namely, "Gema Citra Pahang 1st Parlimen Cameron Highlands." The night's events began after the arrival of Pahang Menteri Besar YAB Dato' Sri Wan Rosdy. It was a full house, for sure, forcing the majority of latecomers to remain standing around the stage area and event canopy.

What everyone had come to see, of course, were performances by well-loved artists Zaki Yamani, Haqim Rusli, Roslan Madun, Rosma Sidik, and the Kopratasa trio. Our affable Emcee wrapped things up just before midnight, and we were packed and ready to return to Kuantan within the hour. A shout-out to Fauzi Long and his trusty Alza for getting yours truly home safely at 3:30 AM on Monday morning. Images in this post are courtesy of Haqim Rusli.

It was way past noon when we packed up and left Dewan Jubli Perak Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah, after enjoying a delicious lunch, that is. Our second gig of the day would be at "Gema Citra Pahang 1st Parlimen Cameron Highlands" in Sungai Koyan. We'd be backing not only Zaki Yamani and Haqim Rusli, but also Roslan Madun, Rosma Sidik, and Kopratasa. Once again, the organizers were thoughtful enough to set us up with a decent homestay, this time across the road from the Sungai Koyan Police Station.

The images you see in this post were captured soon after we'd arrived at Laman Sejahtera Jelai, the venue for the night's events. Although eager to set up and have a sound check with the artists, we had to wait awhile as a solo singing competition was still in progress. This was followed by a full rehearsal which included a captivating "Sewang" performance by Kumpulan Sri Alam from Pos Betau.

RF Band in Kuala Lipis - September 6, 2026

YouTube Playlist

On the morning of the 6th, everyone was up bright and early. We reluctantly checked out of our comfortable homestay and made our way to Dewan Jubli Perak Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah, Kuala Lipis. The event ran smoothly, with both Zaki Yamani and Haqim Rusli delivering powerful performances. Everyone present was also treated to a mesmerizing rendition of "Makmur Menyambut" (Pahang First Theme Song) by Yatt Nora, Yusof Sanadi and Yazed Yasin. Images in this post are courtesy of S. Nagaraja, Haqim Rusli, Muhammad Nasrulhaq, and yours truly.
