And to add gravitas to its already glamorous night, The Knights Award invited American pop-rock singer Daniel Powter, best known for his chart-topping hit single Bad Day, to perform for the first time in Malaysia.

The stage was also graced by other notable performers including Lara Maigue, the highly talented soprano and songwriter, Peter Rosalita, the young singing sensation from America’s Got Talent Season 16, and Enkh-Erdene Otgonbaatar, the winner of Mongolia’s Got Talent in 2016.
