Singer Invests Retirement Funds for Concert, Calls it Labor of Love

Singer Nourul Wahab Depp views her recent "Nourul For You" concert in Kuala Lumpur as a worthwhile investment, even though it required dipping into her retirement savings. The artist performed at Zepp Kuala Lumpur, sharing that the financial outlay was for her personal and professional growth as a singer.

"Actually, tonight I am singing for free. I don't mind because it is an investment for myself. I am confident and that's why I did it (the concert). It's okay, the returns will come later. We do it out of interest and love," Depp said after the show. The concert showcased 22 songs, including "Cinta Azali" and "Kerana Terluka."

Special performances included Mimi Fly, who sang "Temberang" solo and duetted on "Persamaan," "Maafkanku," and "Keliru." Zachary Depp also made a special appearance, performing Sudirman Haji Arshad's "Joget Kenangan Manis." Depp emphasized that the concert was a brief interlude, not a full return to the Malaysian music scene.

"This is Nourul Wahab Depp in a different phase and mindset. I don't know what will happen next, I just want to do my best. My dream and plan have been achieved after 32 years," she added, indicating a sense of personal fulfillment rather than a career resurgence.
