Pentas Famili Duo 2023 yang menjadi saingan sengit bagi duo keluarga selebriti untuk menonjolkan bakat dan kreativiti kini telah melabuhkan tirai! Setelah lapan minggu bersiaran, program realiti hiburan TV3 ini menobatkan duo adik-beradik Sharif dan Syaiful ZERO sebagai juara keseluruhan.
Siapa sangka duo misteri yang dirahsiakan pada awal pertandingan bakal memberi saingan ketat kepada semua peserta sekaligus membolot kemenangan di pentas akhir Famili Duo 2023. Pernah memenangi juara mingguan sebanyak tiga kali, Sharif dan Syaiful bagaimanapun tidak menjangkakan kemenangan mereka pada malam final itu.
Menurut adik-beradik ini, “Alhamdulillah. Sebenarnya kami tak jangka malam ni akan menang. Masa rehearsal kami tengok duo yang lain memang all out, jadi malam ini kami memang berharap untuk buat yang terbaik dan have fun. Alhamdulillah juga, malam ini penonton dapat terima apa yang dipersembahkan dan persembahan ini juga menjadi satu sejarah buat hidup kami. Sebelum ni penonton hanya melihat kami di pentas lawak, tapi kali ini penonton masih boleh menerima kami walaupun di pentas nyanyian.
“Bagi kami, perasaan semasa menyanyi tadi memang lain daripada yang lain. Kami sebenarnya sebak ketika memberikan persembahan apabila nampak penonton dan juga juri di studio berdiri memberi standing ovation. Sebelum ini mereka hanya memberi sokongan sebegitu ketika kami melawak, tapi sekarang kami mendapat sokongan yang sama dalam nyanyian kami, dan kami terharu dengan sokongan itu seolah-olah penonton menghargai usaha kami. Tiada istilah mengalahkan duo peserta yang lain kerana kami tahu mereka masing-masing adalah penyanyi hebat. Mungkin kali ini kami berjaya menambat hati penonton di studio dan juga pengundi di rumah dengan kekuatan percaturan persembahan kami. Dari minggu pertama bertanding lagi kami nekad untuk memberikan persembahan yang baik, dan yang paling penting sekali adalah untuk menghiburkan semua. Kami bersyukur ini semua terbalas akhirnya,” tambah Sharif & Syaiful lagi

4 Disember 2023 – Band Lagenda, Sweet Charity akan datang lagi ke Kuala Lumpur setelah lima dekad pembabitannya dalam dunia muzik rantau ini. Band Lagenda mengimbau nostalgia lama selepas terakhir kalinya muncul dalam sebuah konsert 13 tahun lalu. Akhirnya, mereka mengadakan konsert Sweet Charity lagi bagi peminat-peminat yang telah menunggu lama dan menantikan konsert mereka.
Dianjurkan oleh Malaysia Shipowner’s Association, Konsert Semalam Di Malaya Lima Dekad Sweet Charity yang berdurasi hampir tiga jam itu akan berlangsung di Zepp Kuala Lumpur pada 26 Januari depan.
Iaitu, di tahun ke-55 penubuhan Sweet Charity yang diterajui Datuk Ramli Sarip sebagai vokalis yang juga pengasasnya bersama Rahman Sarbani (dram), dan turut dianggotai Rosli Mohalim (gitar) dan Ahmad Jaafar (keyboard dan vokalis kedua).
Ramli berkata, lamaran untuk Sweet Charity kembali ke Kuala Lumpur ibarat pucuk dicita ulam mendatang.
“Konsert ini ada nilai sentimental kerana ia diadakan di Kuala Lumpur selepas kali terakhir kami beraksi di Stadium Merdeka pada 2011 yang menjadi fenomena. Sesuatu seperti ini kadang hanya datang sekali, atau dua kali, ia tidak boleh selalu melainkan ada momen istimewa.
“Sweet Charity dikenali dengan persembahan livenya, jadi pemilihan lagu yang tepat adalah penting. Selain bernostalgia, jangkakan sebuah persembahan yang segar kerana kami memiliki lagu-lagu yang boleh diolah, dibuat susunan baharu, termasuk antara 15 lagu dalam senarai all-time favourite seperti Batu, Kamelia, Teratai dan Zakiah.
“Dan kenapa Semalam di Malaya? Judul yang nostalgia, zaman kami di Singapura, merentasi Johor menaiki bas, tanpa perlu pasport sebelum ada pemisahan negara. Banyak kenangan di situ,” katanya pada sidang media, di sini, hari ini.
Biar pun tidak kembali ke stadium, menurut Ramli, Zepp Kuala Lumpur dengan kapasiti 2,500 orang itu berupaya memenuhi jangkaan persembahan kerana lokasi itu ada formula untuk mendukung sesebuah konsert, daripada suasana ke akustiknya, malah chemistry.
Beliau malahan tidak mengenepikan kemungkinan untuk konsert yang mengenakan bayaran tiket pada kadar serendah RM180 itu berlanjutan dua hari.
“Penganjur ini, saya lihat, mahu buat sesuatu yang mereka lalui, ketika mereka membesar, namun memberi kebebasan untuk kami mengekspresikan seni. Konsert Semalam Di Malaya Lima Dekad Sweet Charity ini sememangnya tidak harus dilepaskan peminat.
“Kerana Sweet Charity, persembahannya ada roh dan semangat yang tersendiri, seperti mana-mana band apabila sampai pada kedewasaannya. Mudah-mudahan persembahan kami lebih dewasa dengan perasaaan,” tambahnya.
Konsert Semalam Di Malaya Lima Dekad Sweet Charity merupakan sebuah produksi Rasa Karya, bersama Mewah Event Management sebagai rakan strategik, manakala ilassotickets bagi pengurusan tiket.
Kuala Lumpur, kata Ramli, akan menyajikan kelainan rasa dalam persembahan Sweet Charity yang sebelum ini, tampil dengan dua konsert berskala besar, masing-masing di Johor Bahru dan Singapura, tahun ini.
“Sama tapi tak sama,” kata Ramli, merujuk perbandingan dengan konsert di Singapura, baru ini. “Persembahan di Kuala Lumpur akan lebih padat, malah ada peminat yang sudah menonton di Singapura, mahu ke Kuala Lumpur juga.
“Gaya persembahan, tentunya akan memberikan kelainan kerana Sweet Charity ada aura tersendiri, kekuatan tersendiri. Orang sukakan Sweet Charity kerana persembahan livenya dan itulah yang menjadi kekuatan kami selama lebih 50 tahun ini.
“Sweet Charity tidak begitu dipengaruhi oleh apa-apa kerana pada masa itu, pada era akhir 60an, tiada video, VHS pun tiada. Jadi kami mencipta identiti sendiri, membawa muzik rock, memberikan apa yang kami rasa, perasaan waktu membuat persembahan itu.”
Bagi apa jua yang dirancang, kata Ramli lagi, apa yang diharapkan tentulah kesihatan yang baik buat semua anggota Sweet Charity walaupun pada sebahagian masa, mereka perlu akur dengan cabaran dalam perjalanan.
“Mudah-mudahan kami sihat, dapat berikan yang terbaik untuk peminat, juga industri. Lima dekad perjalanan Sweet Charity moga jadi penggalak buat band tanahair, terutamanya Page 3 of 4 pelapis. Kami cuba menghargai apa yang dikurniakan, apa yang dianugerahkan untuk dikongsi.
“Bukan saja dalam muzik atau persembahan, tapi juga perjuangan untuk dikongsi sama. Jika boleh jangan ada banyak pertelingkahan antara satu sama lain, mesti bersatu, tapi kalau terjadi juga kadang hal sebegini mengajar kita. Itu yang membuatkan kita terus ada,” katanya.
Tiket berharga RM180 (Batu – Free Standing), RM308 (Sejuta Wajah – Normal Seat), RM388 (Zakiah – Premium Seat) dan bermula RM15,000 bagi VIP Box boleh didapatkan dengan melayari www.ilassotickets.com.my atau hubungi hotline +60 11-1329 7822.

Conversational AI vs Chatbots: What’s the Difference?
The actor and director had been planning a $800 million expansion of the studio he runs in Atlanta, but he told Hollywood Reporter that he was putting the project on hold after seeing OpenAI’s Sora videos. Perry said he has been closely tracking AI’s development but was blown away by the Sora demo. If I wanted to write a scene on the moon, it’s text, and this AI can generate it like nothing,” Perry said. He said he feared there would be massive job losses in the entertainment industry as a result. Of course, one person’s responsible is another person’s “woke,” and that was one of the big problems here.
In artificial intelligence, distinguishing between chatbots and conversational AI is essential, as their functionalities and sophistication levels vary significantly. A chatbot is a tool that can simulate human conversation and interact with users through text or voice-based interfaces. However, the widespread media buzz around this tech has blurred the lines between chatbots and conversational AI. Even though the terms are often used interchangeably, it’s crucial to understand their differences to make informed decisions for your organization.
Copilot’s Precise conversation style answered the question accurately, though other styles fumbled. ChatGPT Plus, which runs using the GPT-4 model, did answer the question correctly. Its user interface has remained simple, but minor changes have improved it greatly, like the addition of a copy button, an edit option, Custom Instructions, and easy access to your account.
A chatbot is an example of conversational AI that uses a chat widget as its conversational interface, but there are other types of conversational AI as well, like voice assistants. Chatbots have various applications, but in customer support, they often act as virtual assistants chatbot vs. conversational ai to answer customer FAQs. Unlike traditional chatbots, chatbots with Conversational AI can answer questions that are not identical to what they have in their knowledge base. The chatbot will understand their intention no matter how users type in their queries.
There is a reason over 25% of travel and hospitality companies around the world rely on chatbots to power their customer support services. Having a clean system in place that empowers potential customers to get answers to last-minute questions before placing a booking improves sales. Conversational AI lets for a more organic conversation flow leveraging natural language processing and generation technologies. Conversational AI is the umbrella term for all chatbots and similar applications which facilitate communications between users and machines.
What separates chatbots and conversational AI?
Picture a world where communicating with technology is as effortless as talking to your colleagues, friends, and family. With ChatGPT leading the way, this vision is on its way to becoming a reality. Besides, if it can’t answer what the user wants, it will conveniently forward the request to a brand representative. Moreover, 58% have noticed improvements in their CSAT scores, while 66% successfully achieved their KPIs and met their SLAs, as a result of using the AI solution.
These services use natural language processing (NLP) to understand human language and respond with unique responses beyond predefined ones. Some business owners and developers think that conversational AI chatbots are costly and hard to develop. And it’s true that building a conversational artificial intelligence chatbot requires a significant investment of time and resources. You need a team of experienced developers with knowledge of chatbot frameworks and machine learning to train the AI engine. While basic chatbots follow pre-set rules or decision trees, conversational AI leverages advanced NLP and machine learning for more sophisticated and advanced interactions. Conversational AI, while potentially involving higher initial costs, holds exciting possibilities for substantial returns.
Gemini vs. ChatGPT: What’s the difference?
It can swiftly guide us through the necessary steps, saving us time and frustration. GitHub’s former CEO Nat Friedman and investing partner Daniel Gross put that figure into Magic, which is building a better AI coding co-pilot. The Information reports that the reason they invested is that Magic has achieved two breakthroughs. One is a 3.5 million token context window, which is three times what Google is offering with its new Gemini 1.5 Pro model. The other is a breakthrough in logical planning that produces better code but also might point the way towards AI models that can perform lots of other reasoning tasks better than existing models. One is the public relations dilemma Big Tech in general, and Alphabet-owned Google in particular, faces on these sorts of issues.
But instead, they’ll be a great helping hand and ensure the support that humans need. For those interested in seeing the transformative potential of conversational AI in action, we invite you to visit our demo page. There, you’ll find a comprehensive video demonstration that showcases the capabilities, functionalities, and real-world applications of conversational AI technology. Conversational AI bots have found their place across a broad spectrum of industries, with companies ranging from financial services to insurance, telecom, healthcare, and beyond adopting this technology. While chatbots continue to play a vital role in digital strategies, the landscape is shifting towards the integration of more sophisticated conversational AI chatbots. While “chatbot” and “conversational ai” are often used interchangeably, they encompass distinct concepts with unique capabilities and applications.
It certainly isn’t a great look for the technology’s impact on the real world. And even some of the more promising generative AI news in recent days has been called into question. This is the online version of Eye on AI, Fortune’s weekly newsletter on how AI is shaping the future of business.
To do this, just copy and paste several variants of a similar customer request. Chatbots are software applications that are designed to simulate human-like conversations with users through text. They use natural language processing to understand an incoming query and respond accordingly. Traditional chatbots are rule-based, which means they are trained to answer only a specific set of questions, mostly FAQs, which is basically what makes them distinct from conversational AI.
You can even use its visual flow builder to design complex conversation scenarios. The biggest of this system’s use cases is customer service and sales assistance. You can spot this conversation AI technology on an ecommerce website providing assistance to visitors and upselling the company’s products. You can foun additiona information about ai customer service and artificial intelligence and NLP. And if you have your own store, this software is easy to use and learns by itself, so you can implement it and get it to work for you in no time.
It’s an AI system built to assist users by making phone calls for them and handling tasks such as appointment bookings or reservations. This chatbot, called “Dom”, serves as a helpful guide for users, assisting with menu navigation, pizza customization and order placement. Think of a chatbot as a friendly assistant helping you with simple tasks like setting an appointment, finding your order status or requesting a refund.
However, conversational AI, a more intricate counterpart, delves deeper into understanding human language nuances, enabling more sophisticated interactions.
For those interested in seeing the transformative potential of conversational AI in action, we invite you to visit our demo page.
Explore how ChatGPT works in customer service with 7 examples of prompts designed to make your support experiences take the flight to customer happiness.
And in many cases, they can understand and generate natural language as well as a human.
What sets DynamicNLPTM apart is its extensive pre-training on billions of conversations, equipping it with a vast knowledge base.
Yellow.ai’s revolutionary zero-setup approach marks a significant leap forward in the field of conversational AI.
In a recent PwC study, 52 percent of companies said they ramped up their adoption of automation and conversational interfaces because of COVID-19. Additionally, 86 percent of the study’s respondents said that AI has become “mainstream technology” within their organization. Both types of chatbots provide a layer of friendly self-service between a business and its customers. When compared to conversational AI, chatbots lack features like multilingual and voice help capabilities.
IT and business operations
The controversial London-based AI startup unveiled an updated version of its popular open-source text-to-image generator. The new version uses a new AI architecture that is more similar to the one OpenAI has said it used for Sora. The resulting model is better at multi-subject prompts and typography, Venture Beat reports.
You get a wealth of added information to base product decisions, company directions, and other critical insights. That means fewer security concerns for your company as you scale to meet customer demand. Beyond that, there are other benefits I’ve found in products like ChatBot 2.0, designed to boost your operational and customer service efficiency. You can essentially think of TTS as the opposite of speech recognition software, converting text to speech instead of speech to text. TTS can also enable easier information processing for people with various reading challenges, such as vision impairments, dyslexia and dysgraphia.
For example, if you say, “Speak with a human,” the chatbot looks for the keywords “speak” and “human” before sending you to an operator. There are benefits and disadvantages to both chatbots and conversational AI tools. They have to follow guidelines through a logical workflow to arrive at a response. This is like an automated phone menu you may come across when trying to pay your monthly electricity bills. It works, but it can be frustrating if you have a different inquiry outside the options available.
Use cases for chatbot vs. conversational AI in customer service?
Because of OpenAI’s close partnership with Microsoft, ChatGPT can be used through Windows apps such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook. Because ChatGPT-3.5 is text-based, it can’t include images, videos, charts or links in its answers. Gemini Advanced is a more powerful AI version than Gemini Pro, which remains available for free. Gemini is designed to retrieve information as a simple answer, similar to the way smart assistants like Alexa and Siri work. It uses LLMs to reply to prompts with information it has already learned or can retrieve from other Google services. The free version of ChatGPT is available through web browsers and mobile devices.
Chatbots and conversational AI have a common goal of automating customer interactions. We predict that 20 percent of customer service will be handled by conversational AI agents in 2022. And Juniper Research forecasts that approximately $12 billion in retail revenue will be driven by conversational AI in 2023. These bots are similar to automated phone menus where the customer has to make a series of choices to reach the answers they’re looking for.
With a lighter workload, human agents can spend more time with each customer, provide more personalized responses, and loop back into the better customer experience. AI technology is advancing rapidly, and it’s now possible to create conversational virtual agents that can understand and reply to a wide range of queries. In spite of recent advances in conversational AI, many companies still rely on chatbots because of their lower development costs. Generative AI products require much more computational power as they rely on large machine learning models. We’ve already touched upon the differences between chatbots and conversational AI in the above sections.
Though chatbots are a form of conversational AI, keep in mind that not all chatbots implement conversational AI. However, the ones that do usually provide more advanced, natural and relevant outputs since they incorporate NLP. In the chatbot vs. Conversational AI debate, Conversational AI is almost always the better choice for your company. It takes time to set up and teach the system, but even that’s being reduced by extensions that can handle everyday tasks and queries. Once a Conversational AI is set up, it’s fundamentally better at completing most jobs.
However, suppose your focus is to digitally transform your company, be at the forefront of innovation, increase customer satisfaction, automate processes and optimize the work of the Customer Support team. Essentially, conversational AI strives to make interactions with machines more natural, intuitive, and human-like through the power of modern artificial intelligence. The purpose of conversational AI is to reproduce the experience of nuanced and contextually aware communication. These systems are developed on massive volumes of conversational data to learn language comprehension and generation.
They skillfully navigate interruptions while seamlessly picking up the conversation where it left off, resulting in a more satisfying and seamless customer experience. We’ve all encountered routine tasks like password resets, balance inquiries, or updating personal information. Rather than going through lengthy phone calls or filling out forms, a chatbot is there to automate these mundane processes.
Concurrently, conversational AI can handle various jobs and has a wider range of applications.
Gemini is speedy with its answers, which have gotten more accurate over time.
At the same time that chatbots are growing at such impressive rates, conversational AI is continuing to expand the potential for these applications.
Conversational AI refers to a computer system that can understand and respond to human dialogue, even in cases where it wasn’t specifically pre-programmed to do so.
In fact, advanced conversational AI can deduce multiple intents from a single sentence and response addresses each of those points.
Customers have the option to interact with the AI-powered system through messaging platforms or social media channels. Sprinklr Conversational AI is a prime example of how advanced conversational AI can completely transform how businesses engage with their customers. Early chatbots also emphasized friendly interactions, responding to a ‘hi’ with a ‘hello’ was considered a significant achievement. The relationship between chatbots and conversational AI can be seen as an evolutionary one. Here are some ways in which chatbots and conversational AI differ from each other.
GPT-3.5 uses predefined data that does not go beyond January 2022, while GPT-4 data goes up to April 2023. It is tuned to select data chosen from sources that fit specific topics such as coding or the latest scientific research. ChatGPT and Google Gemini have become more similar as the release of Gemini Ultra 1.0 has made it more competitive with GPT-4. Both have a free service, a nearly identically priced subscription service, and similar interfaces and use cases.
From customer support to digital engagement and the online buying journey, AI solutions can transform the customer experience. Read this article to explore the differences between chatbots and conversational AI, the key use cases for these technologies, and the best practices for implementing/using them. Chatbots may be more suitable for industries where interactions are more standardized and require quick responses, like customer support, manufacturing and retail. The AI comprehends the intent behind customer queries and provides contextually relevant information or redirects complex issues to human agents for further support. Dom is designed to understand specific keywords and commands, streamlining the ordering process and making it more convenient for customers.
Google Gemini is available through an app on Android phones and in the Google app on iOS. Google Gemini is multimodal — it understands audio, video and computer code as well as text. Google has paused Gemini’s image generation feature because of inaccuracies, however. Google’s statement disclosing the pause pledged to re-release an improved image generation feature soon. Another advantage of a ChatGPT Plus subscription is that it guarantees ChatGPT access even during peak usage times. And they are more the orchestrator and the conductor of the conversation where a lot of those lower level and rote tasks are being offloaded to their co-pilot, which is a collaborator in this instance.
If you believe your business can benefit from the implementation of conversational AI, we guide you to our Conversational AI Hub where we have a data-driven list of vendors. Conversational AIs are trained on extremely large datasets that allow them to extract and learn word combinations and sentence structure. You can sign up with your email address, your Facebook, Wix, or Shopify profile. Follow the steps in the registration tour to set up your website chat widget or connect social media accounts. There are hundreds if not thousands of conversational AI applications out there.
Generative AI will change chatbots and Conversational AI – Forrester
Generative AI will change chatbots and Conversational AI.
This cost-effective approach streamlines customer interactions, freeing up staff to focus on enhancing the dining experience. The impressive part is that it can engage in natural-sounding conversations with human operators, showcasing its contextual understanding and dynamic interaction skills. This technology demonstrates how conversational AI seamlessly integrates into real-life situations, making tasks easier for users and improving productivity overall.
And I think that that’s something that we really want to hone in on because in so many ways we’re still talking about this technology and AI in general, in a very high level. And we’ve gotten most folks bought in saying, “I know I need this, I want to implement it.” And until we get to the root of rethinking all of those, and in some cases this means adding empathy into our processes, in some it means breaking down those walls between those silos and rethinking how we do the work at large. I think all of these things are necessary to really build up a new paradigm and a new way of approaching customer experience to really suit the needs of where we are right now in 2024.

Kimal, penyanyi kumpulan rock tempatan, Margasatwa. dan seorang artis dan komposer yang berbakat dalam dunia muzik Malaysia, telah mengumumkan pelancaran single terbarunya yang menggugah perasaan, bertajuk Doa Buat Gaza. Lagu terbitan Luncai Emas ini bukan sahaja merupakan karya terkini beliau tetapi juga satu permohonan doa yang disusun menjadi sokongan dan kepedulian terhadap mangsa konflik di Palestin.
Kimal berkongsi, “Pada asalnya sebuah puisi, Doa Buat Gaza sebenarnya telah dihasilkan pada tahun 2012, sebagai cerminan reaksi saya terhadap kekejaman Israel yang menyerang Gaza dan keganasan yang terjadi di sana waktu itu. Terketar dan terkesan dengan nasib saudara di Palestin, puisi ini kemudiannya diubah menjadi sebuah lagu.
Saya sedar bahawa dari jauh, kita mungkin terbatas dalam bantuan yang dapat diberikan, dan walaupun setiap sumbangan seikhlas hati adalah penting, tetap ianya boleh dimanipulasikan pihak yang tidak bertanggungjawab. Namun begitu, doa memiliki kekuatan tersendiri yang tidak boleh dipergunakan oleh pihak tersebut. Doa adalah satu- satunya senjata kita yang eksklusif.”
Menurut Kimal, kolaborasi dengan Mafidz, yang dikenali dengan ahli-ahlinya Megat Aizzat, Megat Fazly, dan Megat Hafidz, merupakan sebuah kolaborasi kreatif. “Saya kenal mereka sejak tahun 2015 lagi, sebelum wujudnya Margasatwa dan Mafidz. Mereka antara rakan kreatif pertama yang boleh saya berkongsi rasa, idea dan cita-cita bersama mereka. Kita tak pernah berkolaborasi secara rasmi, maka ini adalah lagu yang tepat pada waktu yang tepat” kata beliau. “Projek ini juga menjadi salah satu cabang kreatif saya, untuk menguji kebolehan saya sebagai seorang artis, komposer, dan penerbit” tambah beliau. Katanya, beliau tidak melibatkan kumpulannya, Margasatwa, dalam projek ini kerana mereka sedang menyiapkan album baru dan itu yang menjadi fokus utama mereka.
Mafidz dan produksi mereka, Resonant Pribadi telah menampilkan profesionalisme yang tinggi kata Kimal. “Masing-masing dari mereka memiliki keunikan dalam suara dan penyampaian. Mereka memahami dengan mendalam melodi dan lirik yang ingin disampaikan. Yang paling saya suka adalah pilihan melodi dan nada setiap bahagian suara mereka yang bersatu dengan harmoni dan indah sekali” ungkap Kimal.
Lagu ini dirakam di studio Resonant Pribadi untuk bahagian vokal, manakala gitar dan alat lain dimainkan dan dirakam sendiri di Studio Gemunggal di Penerbitan Tongkat Sakti, milik Kimal.
“Sedih dan menyayat hati dengan apa yang berlaku terhadap saudara kita di Palestin. Namun dalam masa yang sama, saya sangat berbangga dengan kekuatan dan kehebatan mereka menentang kekejaman Israel. Semoga kemenangan milik Palestin, InsyaAllah.” luah beliau apabila ditanya tentang perasaan beliau terhadap tragedi yang sedang berlaku di tanah Palestin. Kimal menekankan bahawa ini adalah peranan beliau sebagai seorang artis untuk menyebarkan kesedaran mengenai kejadian di Gaza dan mengingatkan orang ramai tentang betapa pentingnya mensyukuri keamanan negara kita dari porak-peranda dan kemusnahan peperangan.
Sebagai kata-kata semangat, beliau mengambil ungkapan lirik daripada Doa Buat Gaza, ““Namun kita masih punya, senjata yang mereka tidak punya, yang berjenama doa, Doa buat Gaza.” Teruskan usaha, berdoa dan bergantung harap, dan bertawakkal dengan Allah swt. Marilah sama-sama kita terus menerus mendoakan kesejahteraan dan kemenangan untuk Palestin.”
Single Doa Buat Gaza telah pun sedia untuk didengari di pelbagai platform digital. Selain daripada lagu, pendengar boleh juga melihat video muzik Doa Buat Gaza di saluran Youtube Luncai Emas.
