About Dugrostar
Dugrostar™,the first performing arts platform organized by Dugro®, is hosting a series of final live performances that showcase the exceptional talents of children across Malaysia.  As many as 6,381 children came forth to show their potential and creativity in a combination of singing, dancing, and playing of musical instruments since the launch of the Dugrostar™ campaign in August.

Created to inspire children to discover their fullest potential, Dugrostar™ is Malaysia’s biggest celebration of talent among the young, culminating in seven finales being held across seven states, and rewarding a total of 280 children with over RM175,000 in cash prizes throughout the country.

At the Klang Valley finale held in Sunway Pyramid, 40 were crowned stars for their enthusiasm, energy and sheer talent displayed during their performance, which stole the hearts of the crowd as well as the judges. *Kindly refer to attached list of 40 finalists.For every location, the top three prize winners walk away with RM5,000, RM3,000, and RM1,000 cash prizes plus trophies, respectively, while the other finalists receive consolation prizes.

“Child developmental experts believe that the performing arts have a positive effect on children, such as developing confidence and discipline, and improving their language and social skills. This is why Dugrostar™ was created, so we can encourage children from an early age and provide them the opportunity to develop life-long skills and attitudes,” said Ms Connie Ang, Managing DirectorDirector, DanoneDumex Malaysia. “We also understand every parent’s pride in their children andwe are immensely glad that many parents took this chance to celebrate their child’s star quality and share it with the world.”
