The event, themed We All Have Something To Give, brings together music, dance, culture, and philanthropy to support those in need while celebrating the strength of community.
A night of classic hits and heartfelt moments
Fans can expect a memorable evening featuring MLTR’s timeless catalog, including crowd favorites like Paint My Love and 25 Minutes. The Danish trio — Jascha Richter, Mikkel Lentz, and Kare Wanscher — will be performing three decades after rising to international fame with a string of chart-toppers. With the Singapore concert in February next year already on the horizon, this appearance offers a rare treat for fans who relish the band’s melodic hooks and emotionally transparent lyrics.
Other headliners and diverse performances
President’s Challenge Night 2025 promises a varied and vibrant program. In addition to MLTR, a host of popular artistes will grace the stage, including Zoe Tay, Benjamin Kheng, Joanna Dong, Zuhairi Idris, and Eswari Gunasagar, among others. Attendees can also look forward to:
– A waacking dance routine featuring performers such as Rayyan Syafiq Abdullah, Hazelle Teo, and Jaynesh Isuran.
– A traditional Chinese music segment with Mohamed Faizal and Sonia Chew performing on guzheng, complemented by Jernelle Oh on pipa.
– A medley of Latin-inspired tunes and iconic covers, with renditions of Lean on Me, This Is Me, Defying Gravity, and I Want to Know What Love Is.
A night that champions generosity and community
Beyond entertainment, President’s Challenge Night 2025 is a platform for giving back. The event highlights the power of generosity and how collective effort can uplift vulnerable members of society. In remarks accompanying the lineup, President Tharman Shanmugaratnam emphasized that the challenge’s impact grows with every contribution from the public. He noted that the night is about more than music—it’s about building a respectful, supportive community where everyone has a role to play.
