Music community rallies behind Flop Poppy’s Andy and his daughter

Andy, the vocalist of the local band Flop Poppy, will perform this Saturday in an event aimed at supporting his daughter Inaz, who requires surgery for a severe case of scoliosis. The curvature of Inaz's spine has reached 48°, necessitating the RM97,000 procedure. Flop Poppy, formed in 1989 and revived around 2000, has a long history in Malaysia's music scene, with Andy both singing and playing guitar for the band.

The Malaysian Artistes' Association (Karyawan) is organizing "SOS 4 INAZ" as part of the Indie Vibes @ Panggung Anniversari celebration. The charity event aims to raise funds towards Inaz's treatment costs through charity merchandise sales and donation drives. Andy expressed his gratitude for the overwhelming support he has received, including from Karyawan, and hopes the event will encourage compassion for families facing similar challenges.

The Indie Vibes @ Panggung Anniversari event, supported by Kuala Lumpur City Hall, features performances by Tres Émpre, Versevil, Rina-Hime, and Bob Ringgo, with Andy as the host.
