Senator Datuk Ras Adiba Radzi, 54, is feeling over the moon after receiving the 17th International Women of Courage (IWOC) Award on International Women's Day (March 8) at the White House in Washington, United States.

“I am so grateful for being chosen as one of the recipients by IWCO. I never thought I could be picked, quite honestly, because there are so many amazing women worldwide. But then again, all of us have worked very hard for the community.
