He expressed hope that Ngiaw would continue to excel in her field.
Ngiaw won the Outstanding Music Direction and Composition for an Animated Program award for her work on the series *WondLa*.
The announcement was made after Wan Rosdy detailed a significant dividend payout for members of Koperasi Serbausaha Makmur Bhd (Kosma).
The cooperative will distribute plantation unit dividends totalling RM30.62 million to 1,494 members.
It will also provide an advance dividend of one plantation unit, valued at RM6,000 each, amounting to RM8.964 million in total.
A Hari Raya bonus of RM2,000 will be given to all members, involving a total payout of RM2.986 million.
Wan Rosdy said the balance of the plantation unit dividend will be paid after the cooperative’s annual general meeting on June 20.
Dividends on share capital will be distributed after approval from the Malaysia Cooperative Societies Commission (SKM).
Wan Rosdy, who is also the Jelai state assemblyman, said the distributions are expected to help members prepare for Aidilfitri.
“May Kosma continue to progress and serve as an example for other cooperatives in Malaysia,” he said.
