NPC-Macrokiosk Muhibbah Awards returns to honour good deeds, promote unity
Celebrating unity and the spirit of being Malaysian. These are the two main ingredients in getting the second edition of the National Press Club of Malaysia (NPC)-Macrokiosk Muhibbah Awards up and running this year.
Following the impact and reception of the inaugural series last year, NPC and Macrokiosk, an enterprise solutions platform company, have teamed up again to recognise individuals, groups, or organisations that embody the true essence of Muhibbah, promoting unity and goodwill, nationwide.
“I am particularly pleased to witness the continuation of this award series,” said NPC president, Datuk Ahirudin Attan.
“By honouring those who embody the Muhibbah spirit, we celebrate the unity of our nation, while highlighting the importance of kindness and compassion in our society.”
Ahirudin said that apart from the recognition, he hopes that the Muhibbah Awards will eventually earn its recipients a place in history as individuals and organisations that have truly gone beyond the call of duty to help one another.
“Many acts of selflessness have gone unnoticed, and it’s high time that kindness is acknowledged and rewarded. We aspire for this second series of the awards to further strengthen our society and foster unity across our nation,” he added.
Ahirudin said this at the launch of the NPC-Macrokiosk Muhibbah Awards 2024 at the NPC clubhouse in Jalan Tangsi, Kuala Lumpur, today. Also present was Macrokiosk co-founder and chief executive officer, Datuk Kenny Goh.
Goh agreed that the first instalment of the award series last year had effectively brought together Malaysians under the banner of Muhibbah, fostering stronger connections, and driving positive change for Malaysia.
“We are excited to once again work with NPC to launch this second series of our Muhibbah Awards,” said Goh.
“We hope the awards will continue to inspire more Malaysians to care for one another.”
He looked forward to seeing those whose generosity and dedication resulted in the betterment of people, animals, or the environment, get due recognition.
Winners will be selected by a rotating panel of judges comprising media editors and senior journalists.
The NPC-Macrokiosk Muhibbah Awards carries a cash prize of RM2,000, and a certificate.
The previous winners of the first series in 2023 were the Saidina Abu Bakar As-Siddiq Mosque in Bangsar, Dignity for Children Foundation, Taiping Soup Kitchen-Gurdwara Sahib Taiping, couple Amirul Husni Afendey and Nur Syarina Muhammad Noor, lawyer Datuk Ahmad Zaharil Muhaiyar, and former editor Sheila Rahman Natarajan.
