together in a historic moment to raise funds for Ren Ci Charity
Show.

For the first time since MediaWorks was set up 4 years ago, Channel
U and MediaCorp artistes will stand on the same stage and
perform.
Following the announcement on Wed Dec 8 of the crossover of
MediaWorks artistes to MediaCorp with effect from Jan 1, 2005, a
press conference was held yesterday (Thurs Dec 9) for the Ren Ci
Charity Show.
The show, benefiting Ren Ci Hospital and Medicare Centre, will be
held at the University Cultural Centre and telecast live on Jan
9, 2005 at 7.30pm on Channel U. The donation target for this annual
charity event is $5 million and the extravaganza will be hosted by
Quan Yifeng, Guo Liang and Chew Chor Meng.
At the press conference yesterday, Channel U artistes Guo Liang,
Michelle Chia, Quan Yifeng, Ix Shen, Adam Chen, Constance Song,
Wang Ailing, Darren Lim, Ann Kok, Lynn Poh, Apple Hong and Ezann
Lee were reunited with their former (and future) colleagues
MediaCorp artistes Xie Shaoguang, Jeanette Aw, Chen Hanwei, Jeff
Wang, Allan Wu, Cynthia Koh, Phyllis Quek, Pierre Png and Vincent
Ng.
Together, these 35 local artistes (15 from Channel U, 20 from
MediaCorp) will perform 9 items which test their perseverance,
determination, skill, and team work. Other local and overseas
artistes A Do, JJ Lin Junjie, Fish Leong, Z Chen, Ritchie Ren and
Nancy Sit will also lend a hand. A mysterious star is said to
attend the charity show as well, but the organising committee is
keeping it under wraps.
