A YEAR after its release, Malaysian movie Abang Adik continues to garner international awards. The latest one took place last week when it was crowned Best Film at the 10th Asian World Film Festival held in Los Angeles on Nov 22.

Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzi was quick to send congratulations to director-writer Jin Ong and team, saying the win was a source of pride for the nation, and showed the local film industry could bring international recognition to Malaysia.
