MediaCorp is releasing limited-edition DVDs featuring the shows of the late actor Huang Wenyong.

The shows include "The Awakening - Season 1", "It's A Wonderful Life" and 10 episodes of "Dont' Worry, Be Happy".

Proceeds from the sales will go to the HCA Hospice Care, a charity of his family's choice.

This was announced at the Star Awards Show 2 on Sunday.

Mr Huang's fans will also get to do their part for charity.

Proceeds from calls made in support of Mr Huang for the "Top 10 Most Popular Male Artistes" category will be donated to the hospice.

At the show on Sunday, MediaCorp artiste Xiang Yun, Mr Huang's long-time onscreen partner, paid tribute to him.

MediaCorp also gave Mr Huang a posthumous Honorary TV Award.

The award was specially created for him to honour his contributions to the local TV industry.

Receiving the award on behalf of Mr Huang were his wife and daughter.

Mr Huang's daughter, Mei En, said: "I'm sure everyone has his own take on how good my dad was. As family members, we have even more good things to say about him.

"I'd like to thank all on behalf of my dad, for their love. Thank you, MediaCorp for this award. This is the perfect closure to his acting life. My dad may no longer be around, but I feel we're closer to him now, as he now lives in our hearts. This is eternal and serene. Thank you!"
