THE disco era has landed in full swing at Mega Star Arena in Sungai Wang Plaza tonight. Judging by the predominantly middle-aged crowd pouring into the hall, it’s clear we’re in for a night of music that’s bound to transport us back in time.

“IF I walk into any function, you’ll notice me. I guarantee it!” says Datuk Seri Dr Vincent Tiew with a self-assured grin, his bespectacled eyes twinkling. Dressed in a sharp coat and pink shirt, he has a presence that’s hard to miss — a mix of business formality with just enough flair to stand out.

THE sharp winter air nips at your cheeks, but all discomfort is forgotten as Roskilde Cathedral comes into view. Its red-brick facade glows warmly in the golden sunlight, a striking contrast against the vivid blue sky.
