The Unstoppable Malaysians
Humanity is capable of great things but to build something of long-term value takes grit, persistence and fearless ambition. It takes a special kind of leader to ignore the critics and transform a blue-sky dream into a reality that contributes value and purpose beyond simple profits.
We call these entrepreneurs, “The unstoppables”.
Since its inception, the EY Entrepreneur Of The Year (EOY) awards programme in Malaysia has recognized and applauded entrepreneurs from a diverse range of backgrounds and industries.
The exceptional individuals recognized by the EOY programme are more than simply high achievers. They are the people who seek out opportunities and turn their ideas into action; and visions into reality, creating a flow of success for those around them – generating employment and industry growth, driving the economy and progressing society.
As we celebrate our 20th year milestone, we are joined by our illustrious alumni to share their entrepreneurial journeys in this series.
