KUALA LUMPUR: Indonesian singer Afgan is thrilled to be performing in Penang for the first time this December.

"This will be my first time going and performing there. So I'm excited," he told reporters when met at a hotel here yesterday.
"I'll be spending one or two days after the concert there and as I'm a beach person, I hope to spend some time chilling at the beach too."
The 35-year-old artiste added that he would also make the effort to savour some of the island's local delicacies.
Although Afgan had performed in Malaysia numerous times, he said that his first concert in Penang would also be his biggest ever.
