An e- newsletter from www.tabernaclemusic.net

A personal note from Ng Wah Lok

It is almost 2 years since I last sent out a newsletter from my website. Some people have asked if I have disappeared from the music scene. Actually the opposite is true. I have massively revamped my website and it has attracted more than 230,000 visitors with over 2.5 millions hits registered, making it one of Malaysia’s top music website. I have also released my third album “Messiah King” with songs co-written with Australian lyricist in Jan 2007 and finally found the time to release my joke book “ An Ah Beng a day keeps the doctors away”.
