Business awards' roadshow in Klang draws over 100 participants
KUALA LUMPUR: The 2025 Platinum Business Awards (PBA) National Roadshow has drawn more than 100 participants in Klang, representing the local manufacturing, services and retail industries.
The roadshow seeks to motivate businesses to take part in the esteemed awards programme, encouraging them to overcome self-imposed boundaries and strive for national-level recognition.
SME Association of Malaysia national president Dr Chin Chee Seong said it remains dedicated to supporting the long-term growth of small and medium enterprises (SMEs).
This is by enhancing their competitiveness in an ever-evolving market landscape and steering them towards more structured, forward-looking business models.
"We have established a strong presence across the country through our branch and member networks, which extend beyond state lines to regional levels.
"This allows us to connect deeply with local businesses and truly understand their real needs," he said in his speech.
SME Association of Klang president Alan Tan Fuu Soon said the city has a deep historical heritage and has been home to many capable and forward-thinking entrepreneurs.
"True business strength doesn't lie in size, but in remaining steadfast during challenges and staying true to one's values. Klang entrepreneurs are shining examples of steady progress and continual breakthroughs," he said.
Alan added that PBA seeks to recognise businesses that are steadfast, adaptable and dedicated to contributing to society.
