Michelle Yeoh, winner of the Best Actress award at the 95th Academy Awards, paid a visit to Malaysia's Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim.

In a Facebook post dated Apr. 20, Anwar said that during the visit, the 60-year-old Malaysian actress “shared her joy and tribulations of her career and the pinnacle of her career in winning the academy award,” according to a translation of the post by The Star.

Yeoh said that the win was significant for herself, her family as well as for Malaysians, as her achievement had raised the country’s name on the international stage.

Anwar wished her well and for “many more successes” in the future.
