#SHOWBIZ: Rozita Rohaizad honoured with Anugerah Seniwati Negara
KUALA LUMPUR: Veteran singer and actress Rozita Rohaizad has been presented with the Anugerah Seniwati Negara 2025 (National Artiste Award 2025) by the Dewan Perniagaan Datuk Dato Malaysia (DPDDM).
The daughter of the late screen legend Mariani Ismail expressed her heartfelt gratitude for the association's gesture, describing it as a fitting tribute to all veteran artistes.
"Thank you so much, DPDDM. It's my first major award, and I'm genuinely surprised to have received it," Rozita told Harian Metro in an interview yesterday.
Rozita, who was attending a graduation ceremony for acting students organised by Cinta Events & Entertainment when she received the accolade, was recognised for her significant contributions to promoting Malaysian music on the global stage.
The singer, renowned for her hit song "Bila Ku Merindu", highlighted that the award signifies the deep appreciation many Malaysians have for the sacrifices made by veteran singers and actors, particularly those less familiar to the current generation.
"All of us worked tirelessly on our music, dramas, and films without expecting huge rewards. May the current generation of arts enthusiasts remember our dedication and truly value our work," she said.
