A Prestigious Gathering Celebrating Continental Excellence
The Gala Night was graced by Tuan Yang Terutama Tun Seri Setia Dr. Haji Mohd Ali bin Mohd Rustam, Yang di-Pertua Negeri Melaka, as the Guest of Honour.
The evening opened with a memorable Grand March-In led by HONOR humanoid robots, accompanied by dancers in traditional cultural costumes, bringing together technological innovation and cultural heritage.
YB Datuk Mohamad bin Alamin, Deputy Minister of Entrepreneur and Cooperatives Development, delivered an address and joined Tuan Yang Terutama in witnessing the presentation of the 2026 record certificates.
In his address, YB Datuk Mohamad bin Alamin highlighted the determination required to transform ideas into meaningful accomplishments:
“Every business begins with an idea, and with someone who believes that something better is possible. Turning that idea into a successful enterprise takes much more than ambition. It takes determination, resilience, innovation and years of hard work.”
The gathering brought together achievers from diverse sectors, reflecting the breadth of accomplishments recognised across Asia.
