Some of Malaysia's most famous recording artists sing a specially-written tribute in Kuala Lumpur, September 18, to the victims of the famine in North Korea. Proceeds from the sale of the single will be donated to the North Korean Famine Relief Fund, a fund organised by Malaysia's Star daily newspaper, which has so far collected 10.6 million ringgit (U.S.$3.5 million). Around 1.9 million tonnes of food will be required over the next 12 months, said Jacques Diouf, director general of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation in Kuala Lumpur on Thursday.
