LYIA Meta has won over 30 international awards for her singing. However, when she required financial help to receive her recent awards in the US last year and even in 2022, she found that the ministries involved were unhelpful to say the least.

Datuk Kamil and Manvir sit down and dissect this issue and for the first time, we get to know the actual story and processes to apply for these monies. 

Are we doing enough to both nurture and support our artists? What can be done to improve the quality of our arts and achieve international recognition?
