Yes, Malaysian reggae artist Sasi The Don has been nominated under the “Best International Act” category in the Caribbean Afro Music Awards (Cama). “To be very honest, I'm actually very proud and happy because coming from Malaysia and to be on this platform is something to be proud of.

“For me, my music will always continue despite me being nominated or not or whether I win or not.

“I will still push my music through and the most important thing is to get this kind of opportunity to be recognised,” Sasi was quoted as saying in a report in Malay Mail.

International appeal

He added that the nomination made him feel that his music has international appeal.

The great thing about Cama is that fans can vote for the artist that they think best deserves the award.

For Best International Act, voting starts on Dec 1 and will go on for seven months.

The main award show will take place in London, September next year.
