With Singaporean TV dramas being increasingly broadcast in the region, home-grown stars are gaining popularity abroad.

At the Star Awards in April, a new award category was introduced to reflect the growing regional appeal of Singapore stars – the Most Popular Regional Artiste Award, which celebrates the stars who are the most popular in several territories.

Actress Jeanette Aw nabbed the award for Cambodia, Rui En won for Indonesia and Malaysia, while Yvonne Lim took the award for being most popular in China.
