Established in 1995, MBR has become synonymous with recognising extraordinary achievements and is now proudly marking its 30th anniversary. MBR chief executive officer Christopher Wong, who has helmed the organisation since 2015, said MBR has grown beyond just being a record-keeping organisation, but it now serves as a powerful certification platform that empowers individuals and corporations to strengthen their brand identity. 'In the beginning, when we grew up looking at Guinness World Records, it's all about achievements when it comes to things like the tallest person, the fastest person, or the shortest person, or anything that's longest in terms of architecture, or in terms of anything else that's measurable. 'But now fast forward 30 years, MBR has now evolved to become like a branding activation platform, where we look at this organisation as a body that certifies achievements by many individuals and even corporate companies are looking to brand themselves with such feats,' he told Bernama in an exclusive interview. Wong emphasised that while the organisation's core mission of recognising records remains unchanged, MBR is working to adapt to the changing media landscape, moving to focus on meaningful and inspirational content in the near future. Since joining MBR, Wong has overseen over 5,000 records and one record however, continues to leave a profound impact on him, a testament to sheer human willpower by double amputee Azzrulkhan Hasrullah Matsah, better known as Adam. 'He (Adam) crawled up to the summit of Mount Kinabalu in 2016. That takes a lot of grit, perseverance, and discipline. I have done Mount Kinabalu. I mean, with able legs, it's not easy.
