KUALA LUMPUR: Popular Indonesian singer Marcell Siahaan entertained a packed Zepp Kuala Lumpur of 2,000 people at his Marcell Dua Dekade – Live In Kuala Lumpur concert yesterday.
The two-hour concert which began at 9.15pm saw the 45-year-old crooner belting out his hit songs like Jangan Pernah Berubah and Peri Cintaku.
