KUCHING: AFFIN Group is celebrating its 50th anniversary with a nationwide initiative to honour 50 of Malaysia’s most inspiring women leaders.
Through its premier banking arm, AFFIN INVIKTA, the Group has partnered with TOP50 Media Synergy Sdn Bhd to launch the AFFIN INVIKTA TOP50 Women of Excellence Awards 2025.
The programme was unveiled at Menara AFFIN @ TRX by AFFIN Group President and Group Chief Executive Officer Datuk Wan Razly Abdullah, together with TOP50 Media Synergy founder and chairman Kishvin Sirinavin.
Wan Razly said the awards will recognise women across diverse fields including finance, science, entrepreneurship, education, public service and the arts while also serving as a platform to promote inclusion and inspire the next generation.
“This is more than just recognition; it is a movement. At AFFIN, we honour women not only for their achievements but for the future they are shaping,” he said.
“Women form the backbone of our SME and retail segments, and empowering them is essential to driving national progress.”
He added that the initiative aligns with the AFFIN Axelerate 2028 Strategic Plan, underscoring the Group’s commitment to responsible banking and fostering a more inclusive Malaysia.
The awards will culminate in a Grand Awards Gala on 28 November 2025, gathering influential leaders and changemakers.
Leading up to the gala, a series of events will run until March 2026, including the INSPIRE Series, curated pocket events and the launch of a commemorative TOP50 Magazine.
