I've got a place in Portugal, which I like very much, but I've just been working in Malaysia for five weeks. My family had a chance to come over and we really loved it, particularly the island of Pangkor.

Once in a while, I write in Malay and work on something fun that's more for the local Malaysian market, and when that happens, it's always something really special; it speaks volumes that I'm doing it for my fans who have been there for me since day one.

I'm based here in L.A., but I think in the future I might consider settling down in Malaysia when I start a family.

I love Southeast Asia. As a child, I lived in that part of the world. My first time in Burma was in 1958 with my parents.

Malaysia is a country unlike any other: Full of promise and fragility. Its history, cultural and religious diversity make it a rich, compelling and surprising land.

I like shooting movies in Thailand very much because the government is so cooperative there. The police help you to close the roads for shooting.

I was doing quite well in Malaysia... Everyone was so excited about my music, and they started accepting me as an artist.

My label understands that I am really attached to Malaysia, that I come home a lot.
