Answer:
has a personality of his own

The irony is that the "nice" mom---Laurie's mom---is the one with the badly-behaved son. She just doesn't realize at first that Charles and Laurie are the same person. Again, the irony is that she believes only a bad mother would have such a bad kid, but HER own son turns out to be the bad kid.

Explanation:
Let us first examine the meaning of this misplaced sentence.
It provides us with information regarding Shamsul Maidin's awards and prizes. However it uses the word "also" which implies that his awards have already been introduced and that this only follows from that.
Since his awards and recognitions are first introduced in sentences (4) and (5), this means that this misplaced sentence should logically come after them.
