【on.cc東網專訊】馬浚偉除了積極工作，更抽空做義工。近日他為香港電台第五台錄新台歌，這首台歌由趙文海作曲、鄭國江填詞及編曲，他說：「五台的聽眾都是長者，希望這首新台歌，能令長者聽眾覺得有新鮮感，而趙文海先生寫過很多經典好歌，包括《浪濤沙》等，他和鄭國江老師是一對經典組合，唱他們的作品，我覺得很有意義，我們錄了兩個版本，兩個都很動聽，而且拍了短片給大家欣賞。」

馬浚偉除為港台義唱台歌外，還為由再生慈善基金主辦之「321再生馬拉松」擔任嘉賓，他說：「我是再生會大使，今次他們在3月21日上午九時假大埔白石科學園舉行『321再生馬拉松』跑步賽，希望能籌得二百萬港幣支持傷殘人士。這是一個非常有意義的活動，希望香港巿民積極報名支持。」

weibo 7/30 - physical disability

7/30 12:11  Yesterday helped a charity organization record the themesong for it activities. Energetic Eagle Drum Team is a band organized by a team of volunteer teachers.  The team members are all afflicted with different physical illness or disability, nonetheless, they all held a very positive attitude towards life.  Among them are young people and also the elderly in their 70s or 80s.  Their passion and expansiveness for life are that of a flying eagle;  truly worthwhile for me to learn!  Wishing them success for their upcoming activity, even more so, hope the government will pay more attention to the needy in society.

昨天為一義工團體錄製他們活動的主題曲。「鼓躍飛鷹隊」是一隊由義工導師帶領下組成的樂隊，隊員都是有各種身體病患或殘障但人生態度非常積極的朋友，當中 有年輕的，也有七八十歲的長輩，他們對生命有著飛鷹般的高昂熱情，實在值得我學習！在這希望他們的活動成功，更望政府多些關注社會上有需要人仕！

news 2007 Support and Acclaim for Hamlet

Nov 25 night: After its last show, Hamlet's 《王子復仇記》organizing committee held a special celebratory dinner to reward the cast and production crew for their two months of hard work. The chairperson, Mrs. Alice Chiu (趙曾學韞),  and TVB executive, Virginia Lok, both attended the dinner and congratulated the cast and crew for a successful run.

A large number of celebrities turned out to support Hamlet, including: Lam Ka Sing (林家声) Connie Chan Bo Chu (陳寶珠), Kent Tong (鄭則士), Fung Bo Bo (馮寶寶), Wayne Lai黎耀祥, Myolie Wu (胡杏兒) and Yao Wei (姚玮). Also, there was a group of disabled people and chronic patients who came especially to support Steven in gratitude for his years of social work as well as to present him with their congratulatory flowers. There was also a Taiwanese Steven Ma fan who especially flew over to Hong Kong to watch all 6 shows. When she found out that the organizer needed help to sort out and hand out tickets, she immediately volunteered to help out.

The audience collectively praised Steven for his stage presence and noble bearing and that he held the stage well; in short, his performance was brilliant. Steven was delighted to hear that, that all his hard work was well worth it. “What I’m most happy about is that I got to know a group of good friends, especially Dexter Yeung. We met for the very first time at the rehearsal, but we clicked immediately and became fast friends. Dexter has a lively personality and a good heart, also he is very hardworking. We’re now buddies".

“What I felt badly was that in the 5th show while dueling with Michael my sword accidentally removed his wig from his head.” That was the worst goof-up in the whole run. After dinner, the group continued their celebration in a karaoke bar. There Steven profusely apologized to Michael for his blunder, which the latter graciously accepted, in turn reassuring Steven that it was no big deal. The organizing committee has plans to take Hamlet on tour in China. If the plans pan out, then the cast will have a chance to collaborate again.

news 2009 SM as judge in 「爱Fun享歌唱比赛」

Contract renewed, Steven Ma will host a food & beverage tv program.
Yesterday Steven Ma (Ma Zai) was a judge for「爱Fun享歌唱比赛」Love Fun Enjoy Singing Contest held at Olympian City. There was news speculating that Ma Zai has currently become TVB General Manager's, Stephen Chan, newest favorite, and that the latter will arrange numerous programs for him next year. Steven said that prior to his contract renewal in mid-year he had considered leaving the nest, but Mr. Chan, Virginia Lok and Catherine Tsang at different occasion conferred with him, during which time he made known the stuff he would like to do, including a food & beverage tv show because he himself enjoys cooking. Therefore, after his contract renewal the company will duly arrange such a program for him; furthermore, he will also release an album next year.

Ma Zai said laughingly: "Anyway, my real boss is still TVB! Previously I was said to be in Zhan Jie's group and now, in another new group. I find it all very amusing! But regardless, whoever gives me opportunities I'll cherish them all. Actually the company welcomes suggestions from its artistes because they cause no harm to the company. If artistes fare well, company will too. So I don't approve of factions, and in actuality there's no need for them. What's important is doing well in one's own performances."

Dread Adjudicating a Singing Competition.
Having participated in many singing competitions himself, Ma Zai said frankly he dreads being a judge in a singing competition because of the total concentration needed to rate the candidates' performances; moreover, the judging is subjective to personal preference. But since entering the industry, he knew there are criteria to judging such as: intonation, emoting and stage presence etc. He will use them (criteria) to rate the singing, accordingly. As to looks, he does not think them important; what is important is having a beautiful voice, the looks can be “enhanced” later after becoming a singer. As to the music world currently being clogged with off-key singers, Ma Zai said: “Because the new generation singers have fewer opportunities to sing live. Like the saying goes ‘practice makes perfect'. So can't blame them. That being said, they need to hone their singing skill because if their live singing is weak, it will chase away a lot of the audiences.” Ma Zai asserted that he would never lip-sync, else will cause him to lip un-sync, that is why he insisted on singing live for this year anniversary.

note:
This singing contest was sponsored by HK Labor and Welfare to promote the United Nations "Convention on the Rights of persons with disabilities," as part of public education activities.
