#SHOWBIZ: Tomok seeks help to find former New Boyz bassist Syuk
KUALA LUMPUR: Popular singer Tomok has launched a nationwide search to track down an old friend and former bandmate.
KUALA LUMPUR: Tomok, the well-known singer hailing from Shah Indrawan Ismail, is on a nationwide mission to locate his former bandmate and bassist from the 1990s pop group, New Boyz, named Syuk. The two were once very close but lost touch approximately ten years ago, Tomok shared on Threads yesterday. He is reaching out to anyone who might know his whereabouts, particularly his family or close friends, requesting they send him a direct message.
New Boyz, which debuted in 1997, consisted of Tomok on vocals, Syuk on bass, Along and Jay on guitars, and Mazlan on drums. They produced popular hits across the region, including Sejarah Mungkin Berulang, Meraung, and Hiasan Di Laman Rindu. After the band's peak, Tomok established a thriving solo career, clinching the third season of the reality talent show One In A Million in 2009.
He is keen to rekindle his friendship with Syuk, so they can collaborate at the upcoming Konsert New Boyz Meraung Live In Singapore on December 5. Despite eager fans sharing suspected links of Syuk on TikTok and Facebook, the accounts have been inactive for years. Tomok has yet to obtain a functional phone number or confirm his old friend's location.
