Another netizen has pointed out that Datuk Siti Nurhaliza was so popular with local audiences, she wound up winning the Most Popular Female Singer award for a whopping 14 years in a row, before withdrawing from the awards category!
It is also worth noting that the 43-year-old songstress had once performed at the closing ceremony of the 1998 Commonwealth Games, which was held in Kuala Lumpur, before a Royal audience that consisted of Queen Elizabeth II and her royal consort, Prince Phillip.
