The Force of Nature tsunami relief benefits concert was held at Kuala Lumpur's Stadium Putra on Friday, March 18. It was supported by celebrities from all over the world. More than 13,000 people attended the biggest concert ever in Malaysian history.
"On December 26, a terrible disaster struck the area that we call home." Michelle, the Force of Nature ambassador, took to the stage, "This has moved many of us to act, that is why we are all here tonight. Because we cannot forget and we cannot let those faces in the headlines just fade away." She gave an emotional speech of her experience in Aceh. She later became a translator (from Chinese to English) for Jackie Chan who sang a tender Chinese love ballad for the audience.
