Rosmah honoured with 'Global Inspirational Leadership' award

The event organiser, Centre for Economic and Leadership Leadership (CELD), said the award was in recognition of the high commitment, role and initiatives of the Malaysian prime minister's wife that had given an impact on women and children's development.

"Women and children are important assets in shaping and determining the future direction of the community and country.

"Therefore, efforts should continue to be implemented as best as possible in empowering women and children in order to maximise their potential," said the organiser as contained in a statement issued by the Prime Minister's Office in Putrajaya.

According to the statement, Rosmah also received congresssional commendation from the Senate of the US State of Georgia which was conveyed by the delegation from Georgia.

Rosmah could not attend the awards presentation ceremony as she has to accompany Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak who will be attending the Malaysia-Indonesia Annual Consultation scheduled for Thursday in Jakarta, Indonesia.

The Malaysian Consul-General in Dubai, Datuk Ahmad Fadil Shamsuddin received the award on her behalf.
