Achieving and
charting a new
era of growth
YAB DATO’ SRI MOHD NAJIB BIN
TUN HJ ABDUL RAZAK
Prime Minister of Malaysia,
ASEAN Chair 2015
Forty-eight years ago, our region took a giant and
ambitious stride forward with ASEAN (Association of
Southeast Asian Nations). Our goal was clear and welldefined – to achieve stability through economic and
social progress for all the ASEAN member states.
region to explore opportunities. On the other hand,
ABA 2015 is a prestigious awards ceremony aimed at
sharing best practices via recognising companies that
excel in Growth, Employment, Innovation and Corporate
Social Responsibility (CSR) in the ASEAN economy.
2015 will be one of ASEAN’s defining moments in a
history of progress – a hallmark that will one day be
pored over by historians as the year that witnessed
a sea of change, when a united region’s journey to
prosperity and stability accelerated exponentially. This
is the time for our region to shine, to make our mark
in the world through the establishment of the ASEAN
Economic Community (AEC) at the end of the year.
For all ABIS 2015 attendees, I am sure that you will
benefit greatly from the insights, opportunities and
possibilities shared amongst each other. As for the
ABA 2015 recipients, I would like to congratulate all for
being the shining stars of ASEAN. Your efforts towards
contributing to the region will be the benchmark
of success for our many future endeavours.
As Malaysia spearheads this landmark move, our
role is to ensure key learnings and best practices
are being shared amongst ASEAN member states,
enhancing their opportunities and supporting
our vision for sustainable growth, together.
The ASEAN Business & Investment Summit 2015 (ABIS
2015) and ASEAN Business Awards 2015 (ABA 2015) are
two key platforms conceived by the ASEAN Business
Advisory Council (ASEAN-BAC) to serve this purpose.
ABIS 2015’s sole purpose is to create a conducive platform
of interaction for ASEAN and corporate leaders in the
The realisation of ASEAN’s founding fathers’ aspirations
is on-track. 2015 will undoubtedly be the year where we
enter a new chapter in the region’s journey. Let’s stand
together and forge a successful and integrated ASEAN.

MOVING FORWARD
WITH REGIONAL
ECONOMIC
INTEGRATION
YB DATO’ SRI MUSTApA MOHAMeD
Minister of International Trade and Industry Malaysia
2015 Chair, ASEAN Economic Ministers
ASEAN’s aspirations to become a deeply integrated and
cohesive economic region have been realised with the
formation of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC).
The formal announcement of the ASEAN Community,
of which the AEC is a vital pillar, will be made by the
ASEAN leaders on 22 November 2015 in Kuala Lumpur.
The AEC, once fully implemented, will eventually create
a seamless, cross-border trading and investment
regime among ASEAN’s 10 Member States through
its stated objective of establishing a single market
and production base in the region. It marks a major
milestone in ASEAN’s journey towards achieving its
goal of “One Vision, One Identity, One Community”.
Already, ASEAN collectively is considered the 7th
largest economy in the world with a combined GDP
of US$2.56 trillion. Thanks to the implementation
of the AEC, ASEAN’s GDP is expected to rise to
US$4.7 trillion by 2020 in a dynamic and large
integrated market of 625 million people.
The process of lifting barriers and removal of tariffs that
began years ago, and which led to the AEC, has enabled
ASEAN to expand FDI inflows from US$49.7 billion
previously to US$136.2 billion in 2014. Trade expanded
by more than 30% from US$1.9 billion to US$2.53
trillion. Likewise, ASEAN’s GDP per capita also increased
from US$2,647 in 2008 to US$4,130 in 2014.
The next 10 to 15 years will be critical for ASEAN in
the drive towards economic integration for three main
reasons. First, ASEAN’s population is estimated to reach
737 million by 2030, an increase of more than 100 million
people. Second, ASEAN will be faced with increasing
global competitiveness, and competition from other
regional groupings for FDI. Third, ASEAN will need to
diversify economic activities to sustain its exports.
In this context, businesses can be reassured that ASEAN
has drawn up the AEC Blueprint 2025 which will be
announced on 22 November 2015. This document outlines
in great detail the ambitious integration measures
ASEAN will implement in the next decade under the
AEC. I urge the private sector in ASEAN to lend your
full commitment and support to the implementation
of the measures outlined in the AEC Blueprint 2025.
Finally, I would like to commend the ASEAN Business
and Advisory Council in organising the ASEAN
Business and Investment Summit (ABIS 2015) and
the ASEAN Business Awards (ABA 2015). My
congratulations as well to the winners of ABA 2015.
Thank you.
YB Dato’ Sri Mustapa Mohamed

FOREWORD
Celebrate,
Reflect.....
Much to be done
YBhg. Tan Sri Dr. Mohd Munir bin Abdul Majid
2015 Chairman, ASEAN Business Advisory
Council (ASEAN-BAC)
ASEAN-BAC’s banner events – ASEAN Business &
Investment Summit (ABIS) and ASEAN Business Awards
(ABA) - hold special significance in 2015 as the AEC
(ASEAN Economic Community) will be commemorated
at the end of the 27th ASEAN Summit this month. Held
at the very point of this historic event, it is a time for
celebration, reflection and looking ahead. Thus the
programme encapsulates these three elements while also
inviting statements from and commentary on ASEAN
partners - an example of how ASEAN is the central place
where issues affecting the region are discussed even if
ASEAN may not necessarily determine the outcome.
I would like, on behalf of my colleagues, to express our
gratitude to the eminent personages who have graced
our events, as well as all speakers and participants
who are at the heart of helping us make the events
successful. I wish also to thank our sponsors for
their support and the members of staff of ASEANBAC Malaysia particularly who have worked so hard
to ensure we host a memorable occasion.
This year, for the first time, we give out Friends of ASEAN
awards as part of the ASEAN Business Awards, in recognition
of their meaningful involvement in ASEAN business. Also for
the first time, ASEAN-BAC has decided in this historic year
to honour long-time commitment to establishment of the
AEC by handing out the ASEAN Lifetime Achievement Award.
Do participate fully in the ASEAN Business & Investment
Summit and do enjoy the ASEAN Business Awards Gala
Dinner. Please forgive us for any shortcomings.

‘Britain Open for Business’ and launched by Dr Vince Cable in November 2011. The
underlying purpose of the UKABC is to facilitate a step change in the level of trade
between the UK and Southeast Asia, and through this contributing towards UKTI’s
ambition to support 50,000 SMEs and increase UK exports to £1trn by 2020.
With a particular focus on the SME community the UKABC runs a programme of
awareness raising outreach activity aimed at improving understanding of the business
opportunities in the ASEAN region, as well as giving practical advice and guidance on
how to go about doing business there. The Business Council also provides roundtable
and structured business-to-business networking opportunities with senior political and
commercial decision makers who are visiting the UK from Southeast Asia.

YAYASAN ALBUKHARY FOUNDATION
Yayasan albukhary
foundation
education, universally acknowledged as
a means to reducing disparities between
the haves and have-nots. Meanwhile, the
foundation’s welfare programmes strive
to provide relief to communities wracked
by the endless cycle of poverty, war and
natural calamities. On the other end of
the scale, it promotes an appreciation
of the Islamic heritage, culture and
scholarship to foster goodwill between
Muslims and non-Muslims the world over.
The Albukhary Foundation
is a charitable organisation
established in 1996 by
Malaysian businessman Tan
Sri Syed Mokhtar Albukhary.
Founded on the Islamic values of Taqwa
(Faith) and Ihsan (Compassion), it
upholds the belief that commerce and
charity are interconnected – when we
benefit from society, we should give back
to society. Based on that inspiration,
a portion of the wealth generated
by his Group’s commercial activities
is continuously channelled back to
charitable causes under the ambit of the
Albukhary Foundation.
Charity has been the cornerstone of Syed
Mokhtar’s business world since day 1.
When he set up his first business, Bukhary
Sdn Bhd in 1974, he donated half of his
income to assist 15 needy families in
his village. He was then a 23-year old
struggling rice trader in Alor Setar, Kedah
who seized opportunities presented by
the newly launched New Economy Policy
of Malaysia. As his business grew, so
did his generosity. From these humble
beginnings, Syed Mokhtar has built one of
Malaysia’s most diversified and dynamic
multinational conglomerates.
THE VISION
Over the years, the Albukhary Foundation
has gained recognition as one of the
caring faces of Malaysia. It champions
The foundation distinguishes itself
from other similar organisations in the
way it began, grew and continues to
evolve. Unlike most foundations that are
established by benefactors when they are
wealthy and influential, or are created
posthumously by their heirs, the seeds of
Albukhary Foundation were sown before it
was officially registered.
The foundation’s international thrust
is aligned with the expansion of the
Albukhary Group of Companies overseas.
Now into its second decade, the Albukhary
Foundation is fast gaining prominence
as an international Muslim charity, with
a presence in almost every continent.
It is also a living proof that commerce
and charity can move in tandem for the
greater good of all.
PROGRAMME ANCHORS
The Albukhary Foundation’s activities
revolve around three anchor
developments, each addressing different
segments of society:
Albukhary Foundation is the head office
in Kuala Lumpur, which concentrates
on humanitarian cause, ‘feeding hopes
and aspirations’ of the less fortunate
and at-risk groups to become self-reliant
individuals and communities.
As the head office, it also has the
additional responsibility of funding all
projects, including those of the two
anchors below.
Islamic Arts Museum Malaysia engages
in ‘feeding the spirit’ of people from all
walks of life by promoting an appreciation
of Islamic culture and heritage to help
forge a more tolerant and harmonious
society.
Albukhary Complex epitomises the spirit
of the foundation. Promoting excellence
in education and health and welfare, it
is dedicated to ‘feeding the mind’ of the
poor so that they can have a better future.
At the heart of this integrated complex
is the Albukhary International University
catering exclusively to bright youths
from around the world regardless of their
background.
Adjoining the campus are facilities for
the disadvantaged as well as the local
community. They include an orphanage,
a centre for children with special needs,
a hospital with a dialysis centre and
accommodation, a mosque, community
education centre and a shopping centre.
The Albukhary Foundation runs its
programmes through five pillars:
EDUCATION: The foundation departs from
the one-model-fits-all approach to bring
education in its different permutations to
different groups. Guided by the concept of
education as an effective social-economic
leveller, it has programs that range
from outreach remedial programs for
academically weak students to full-fledged
university education for deserving students.
YAYASAN ALBUKHARY FOUNDATION
WELFARE: The foundation reaches out to
communities crippled by poverty, caused
by political and economic strife or
natural disasters. Its poverty alleviation
programs focus on empowerment, selfreliance and sustainable living.
HEALTH: The foundation believes that
good health determines the quality of
life of a nation. It adopts a two-pronged
approach to health, with projects that
addresses serious ills that threaten the
well being of society while promoting
sports as a proud indicator of a robust,
cohesive society.
RELIGION AND CIVILISATION:
The foundation is committed to
promoting the Muslim face of piety,
inclusiveness and scholarship. At
the same time, it supports cultural
enrichment programmes to strengthen
understanding among different
communities.
ENVIRONMENT: The foundation is
stepping up initiatives that improve
the quality of the natural and built
environment, making it a better place to
live, work and play for current and future
generations.
FEEDING HOPES AND
ASPIRATIONS
Key projects under the five pillars
include the following:
RELIGION & CIVILISATION
Hajj Pilgrimage Sponsorship. This is one
of the foundation’s earliest initiatives,
and it dates back to 1997. As of October
2015, the foundation has sponsored
nearly 900 deprived Muslims to realise
the fifth pillar of Islam – the Hajj
pilgrimage.
Facelift for Masjid Negara, Kuala
Lumpur or the National Mosque is
the official venue of national Islamic
events. The first ever national mosque in
Malaysia, it is a symbolic structure that
affirms Islam as the official religion of
the nation. It was built in 1965 as a bold
and modern statement of aspirations of
an independent Malaysia. To maintain
its structure and class, the mosque went
through a second renovation in 2003,
sponsored by Albukhary Foundation.
20-21 November 2015
of Rohingya in Malaysia. 120 students of
early primary age have been registered for
the first intake in May 2015.
EDUCATION
Albukhary Tuition Programme provides
free remedial classes to underachieving
poor rural school children to help them
pass their final year secondary school
examination. The programme has created
a network of 200 tuition centres that
benefited more than 80,000 students
from 500 schools.
The Albukhary Scholarship Programme,
on the other hand, is an international
education programme. It currently
supports more than 500 students from
more than 40 countries studying at
various prestigious local universities.
Meanwhile, 184 Albukhary Scholars have
returned to their respective homelands
and serve their community.
Read Programme is a nationwide
movement to inculcate reading habit
among primary school students in
Malaysia with the objective of improving
their English proficiency by enhancing
their ability to read in English and
understand the materials as a whole.
At the same time, it aims to boost their
confidence level to communicate in the
language. The students are placed in
four types of classes according to their
aptitude; letter, word, paragraph and story
telling. Currently being implemented
in three locations, Kedah, Pahang
and Melaka, the programme receives
participation from 153 students.
Rohingya Education Center is a maiden
collaboration with UNHCR Malaysia
together with its implementing partner
Future Global Network Wadah. The center,
located in Kuantan, Pahang serves as
an education platform for the children
HEALTH & WELFARE
Head Office of the Heart Foundation of
Malaysia.
This building project includes the
administration building that can house
40 staff and a 200-capacity multipurpose
hall for education and training. Adjoining
them is a hotel for the convenience of
heart patients and their families. The
hostel has a 20-person dormitory, a single
room and a double room.
International.
Success in Malaysia encouraged the
foundation to expand overseas. Its
education-health & welfare-religion
focus served as the model for its overseas
programmes.
Afghanistan:
Much rehabilitation work was carried
in Afghan refugee camps in Peshawar,
Pakistan where it provided medical and
welfare assistance. Another important
initiative was Project 3,000 in Battagram,
in Northwest Pakistan that was hit by
a massive earthquake in 2005. The
foundation provided humanitarian relief
to about 15,000 people and established
Albukhary Care Centre that provides
vocational and academic training. Since
its inception in 2006, the centre has
produced 800 graduates, many of them
now gainfully employed.
Iran:
In addition to immediate humanitarian
relief efforts for survivors of the Bam
earthquake in 2003, the foundation
established the Albukhary Relief Centre, a
computer skills and education centre for
adults and children.
