The Gemilang Bersama MPO event marked a 22-year career milestone, drawing a vibrant audience of 900 fans, many of whom were younger music enthusiasts. Overjoyed, Jaclyn gushed about returning to this stage, even amid hazy conditions, having previously clinched the title of the first Malaysian Idol champion in 2004 on October 9. Reflecting on her journey, she shared, \"The past two decades have been a truly beautiful journey.\"\n\nJaclyn's performance spanned approximately 20 signature songs, magnificently enhanced by the MPO's grand orchestral arrangements. Highlights included her chart-topping hits Gemilang, Ikut Rentakku, Tiada Lagi Indah, and Beribu Sesalan. She also treated the audience to covers and classics such as Tunggu Sekejap, Superwoman, Diamonds Are Forever, Chong Bai, O Mio Babbino Caro, and the enchanting Defying Gravity.
