Having won the coveted Song of the Year award for this years’s 18th Anugerah Industri Muzik (AIM 18), she had to return the trophy and prize due to a “misinterpretation of the awards criteria” by the appointed external auditors for the AIM18 judging process, Ernst & Young.
The winner is now Sedetik lebih, composed by Edry Abdul Halim and performed by Anuar Zain.
In a Press release issued by the AIM 18 organiser Recording Industry Association of Malaysia (RIM) organising committee co-chairman, Rosmin Hashim said: “We would like to record our sincere apologies for any difficulties that may have been caused.”
Penakut, one of the 20 songs nominated for the coveted Song of the Year, was selected by jury members who were not involved in selecting the winners for the four award categories namely Best Pop Song, Best Rock Song, Best Ethnic Pop Song and Best Nasyid Song.
Yuna won the Best Vocal Performance in A Song (Female) Award as well as the special Anugerah Kembara in recognition of her achievements for promoting Malaysian compositions in the international arena.
