Happy New Year! It's a new year, 2019, a new beginning. We had celebrated our achievement in 2018, and we look forward to this new year. 2018 has been a milestone for us in PPMUM. Two major events were carried out. These are the Malaysia first Ukulele Festival and Miyazaki Music Exchange Concert. Looking back, we are thankful to all who had supported and helped us in these two projects.

Firstly, we like to share with you the first Malaysia Ukulele Festival. This event was mooted by our PPMUM founder, Ms Kelly Teh and Mr David Khoo from Music2U. The idea was to bring ukulele players and enthusiast together for the first time in a venue in Malaysia. With the help of OSK, the venue sponsor, the Festival was held at Atira Shopping Gallery on 1st September 2018. Participants were charged a minimum fees to help fund this event. We also raised funds by the issuance of the Program Booklet, for which we would like to give a big shout-out of THANK YOU to all advertisers. We would like to Thanks our guests performers too.
