Inul to perform in S'pore

Queen of dangdut, the erotic Inul Daratista, is scheduled to bump and grind with fans in Singapore on Sunday in a show co- starring child singer Tina Toon and Lela Anjani, another dangdut singer.

Seventy percent of tickets priced S$25 (about Rp125,000) to $100 have been sold, The Straits Times reported Thursday. It featured a demure looking picture of the singer, who shot to fame and notoriety for her style dubbed as "drilling" (ngebor).

Unlike in Indonesia, however, fans will be limited to only about 700 people, the capacity of the venue at the Marine Parade Community Centre.

The event starting at 3 p.m. is organized by an Indonesian fan club called FBI (Big Fans of Inul), the report said. -- The Straits Times
