24 Mar – Sarawak-born Alvin Wee is elated to bring honour to Malaysia, after winning the Cinema Audio Society Awards (CAS) for his work in the Disney animated series, "Encanto". The Hollywood-based Alvin, who became the first Malaysian to receive the award, stated that the victory is a result of the team's collaboration.
He also regarded his achievement as a win for Malaysia, stating that it is a truly viable career path and not an unachievable dream. "I want every kid, especially those who are starting out in creative industries and may have very little access to resources and technology, to know that there is a path towards a future and they should all keep going," he said.
