Hitman David Foster & Friends Asia Tour 2023 is organised by Yayasan Prihatin Nasional (Prihatin) which assists young Malaysians from low-income families thorough educational, entrepreneurial and leadership training initiatives. Proceeds from ticket sales will assist Prihatin's on-going initiative Tabung Kasih which helps youths from low-income families pursue higher education in Malaysia.
Siti admitted that since the first time she had the opportunity to collaborate with Foster, she hoped it would not be her last chance.
"I collaborated with David Foster in 2014 for the first time but at that moment I hoped it would not be the first and last time I could work with him.
"And that prayer has been answered now that I have the opportunity to be on stage with him again and I will certainly do my best for this concert," said Siti during the press conference at Royale Chulan Hotel Kuala Lumpur today.
