The queen has returned, only to be “disgraced”.
On the night of Anugerah Juara Lagu 34 (#AJL34), Bob Yusof had taken as representative to perform Anta Pernama on behalf of its original singer Dato’ Siti Nurhaliza.
Not only Bob’s flawless vocal had stunned the audience since his first note, who would have thought that Dato’ Siti personally made a surprise appearance on stage midway through the song!
The Malaysia’s superstar’s appearance has always been a long-anticipated one and as soon as she was hit by the spotlight, the whole crowd roared into applause!

But what made netizens filled with anger was how the lovable nation singer was mistreated or “disgraced” on stage as her microphone wasn’t on even though she had started singing her part! It was a thrilling moment because this was her first appearance to the awards after several years of absence.

However, in reply to the netizens as an apology, a video of her performance with full vocal by Dato’ Siti Nurhaliza was then uploaded hours after the actual awards ended.
