SINGAPORE: Prison inmates and ex-offenders will take to the stage this Saturday, alongside local celebrities like Dick Lee, Tan Kheng Hua and Mark Lee for the annual Yellow Ribbon Concert.

Taiwanese singer Emil Chau will also be joining them.

The event's message to the public is to give prisoners and ex-convicts a second chance.

Besides showcasing their talents, the performers will also share their life testimonies.

Some 6,000 people are expected to attend the concert.

Members of the public can get tickets for the concert from AXS booths or log onto the Yellow Ribbon website at
