Ahmad Zahid Hamidi
In early 2016, Deputy Prime Minister of Malaysia, Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi announced during the 19th Tourism Malaysia Awards that Shila was appointed as Malaysia's tourism ambassador. The Malaysian Government believes Shila could attract millions of visitors from mainland China to vacation in Malaysia. The fact that she speaks fluent Chinese will make it easier for her to deal with her music management and her Chinese fans.
