Beacon Hospital Supports Charity Concert for End Polio Now Initiative

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia – 13 April 2026 – Rotary International District 3300, in collaboration with the Rotary Club of Rahman Putra as co-organiser, proudly presents a special Charity Concert at the prestigious Dewan Filharmonik PETRONAS (DFP). This meaningful evening brings together music, community, and purpose in support of Rotary’s global End Polio Now campaign.

Taking centre stage is the Selangor Symphony Youth Orchestra (SSYO), a dynamic ensemble of young musicians whose passion and dedication embody the spirit of hope and progress. Under the baton of internationally acclaimed maestro Eugene Pook, the orchestra will deliver an inspiring programme that blends artistic excellence with a powerful humanitarian mission.

The evening will also feature celebrated local vocalists Eddie Yang Ting, Angeline Wong Xiao Feng, and Estee Pook, creating a compelling collaboration between emerging orchestral talent and established voices in Malaysia’s music scene.

This year’s concert is proudly supported by Beacon Hospital, whose commitment to advancing healthcare extends beyond clinical care to champion global health initiatives. Their support reflects a shared vision with Rotary to eradicate preventable diseases and improve lives worldwide.

For more than a century, Rotary International has united communities to drive lasting change. Through its End Polio Now campaign, Rotary and its global partners have reduced polio cases by 99.9%, immunising over 2.5 billion children across 122 countries.

“Healthcare does not stop at treatment—it begins with prevention,” said Mr. Hoe Cheah How, Chief Executive Officer from Beacon Hospital. “Polio is a disease the world has the tools to eradicate. Supporting this effort is part of our responsibility as a healthcare institution committed to a healthier future for all.”

Funds raised from the concert will directly support ongoing vaccination and awareness initiatives. Contributions will be further amplified through Rotary’s partnership with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, which matches every donation 2:1—tripling the impact of each contribution.

“This concert is not just about music—it’s about uniting as a community to finish the fight against a preventable disease,” said Charter President Dr Chua Keng Soon of Rotary District 3300. “With the support of partners like Beacon Hospital, we are reminded that meaningful change happens when compassion meets action.”
