Expanding Access to Business Recognition
The nationwide roadshow is designed to encourage businesses across various sectors and regions to participate in the Platinum Business Awards, aiming to honour business excellence and amplify the strength and resilience of Malaysian entrepreneurship.
Penang’s Entrepreneurial Identity Highlighted
Penang was praised as a city where cultural heritage coexists with entrepreneurial innovation, and where many local brands have expanded nationally and internationally by creating real value and demonstrating integrity. The Platinum Business Awards aims to recognise such qualities across SMEs that show responsibility, leadership, and a commitment to sustainable growth.
Advocacy and Collaboration for SME Growth
The SME Association of Malaysia reiterated its role in voicing SME concerns and supporting community development. It emphasised working with authorities to shape fair and pragmatic policies, while fostering collaboration through its business network to promote shared growth.
Showcasing Penang’s Business Diversity
Penang continues to serve as a vibrant, responsible, and forward-thinking business hub, where enterprises—ranging from family-run businesses to startups—blend tradition with innovation and create positive social impact. The Platinum Business Awards also serves as a platform for sharing meaningful entrepreneurial stories.
