5th Business Excellence Awards 2008
The 5th Business Excellence Awards, held on October 30th at the Sime Darby
Convention Centre, was an outstanding success!
The awards, held bi-annually, has
grown considerably since its inception in 2002 with this year’s submissions far
exceeding our expectations. The MCBC’s Business Excellence Awards were initially
designed to recognize the achievements and contributions of successful Canadian
and Malaysian businesses and individuals as well as to meet the gap created
between “Small Medium Enterprises” (SME) and larger organizations. However, the
BEA also plays another important role – that of serving as a channel for
identifying potential business opportunities in both Canada and Malaysia.
The challenge of selecting award recipients fairly, was based upon the
Criteria based on Canada’s Baldridge National Quality Program. A pre-selection
committee and a panel of judges that are linked to various industries in
Malaysia was chosen by MCBC. The selection process was also observed by Halim &
Lee, Chartered Accountants.
We were honoured to have the awards presented to the award recipients by the
Yb Datuk Liew Vui Keong, Deputy Minister of International Trade and Industry
Malaysia (MITI), and H.E. David Collins, Canadian High Commissioner of Canada.
The 540 attendees were not only treated to a unique video format of the
individual awards, but were entertained throughout dinner by Vanessa Tan and
Impromptu, an excellent group of musicians known for their brand of “Jazz”
music.
