February 3, 2005 

SINGAPORE/HONG KONG - In January this year, the MTV Asia Awards 2005 was 
repositioned into MTV Asia Aid, a global benefit in support of the 
recovery efforts taking place in Asia. This was a vital part of MTV 
Network's wider global response to the aftermath of the tsunami.

In conjunction with MTV Asia Aid, winners for the MTV Asia Awards 2005 were 
announced at the benefit event on 3 February 2005 at the IMPACT Arena in 
Bangkok. Winners for the 10 Favorite Asian Artist categories and six 
international categories were chosen through more than 16 million votes 
from fans and viewers. Siti Nurhaliza (Malaysia) and Stefanie Sun 

(Singapore) emerged triumphant for the fourth straight year in the 
Favorite Artist category. 

The MTV Asia Awards 2005 will air as a separate one-hour show on MTV
