A MALAYAN by birth, the beautiful and immensely popular Poon Sow Keng has been singing since she was 12 years old. At 17, she recorded for the first time. Within weeks, her name was known throughout Southeast Asia. But for all her popularity, and today she is unquestionably one of the most popular singers in the entire area, Poon Sow Keng has never had a lesson in singing. What talent she has is God-given. She sings in Mandarin Chinese. She is particulary successful in Singapore and in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
