True entrepreneurship and leadership are rarely solitary journeys. They are built on a foundation of shared vision, mutual respect, and an unbreakable spirit. This core philosophy took center stage at the official Phoenix Global Award 2026 Press Conference, where industry leaders, cultural icons, and visionaries gathered to celebrate the launch of a revolutionary platform designed to empower global talent and businesses.
The prestigious event was graced by an esteemed lineup of dignitaries, royalty, and industry pioneers who lent their unwavering support to the vision of the awards. The launch was marked by the presence of distinguished guests who signify the highest standards of leadership and cultural preservation in the region: YM Tengku Dato’ Dr Hishammuddin Zaizi, YAM Tengku Bendahara Azman Shah Alhaj, Dr James Hee, President of Miss Malaysia Kebaya and Celebrity – Leng Yein.
Addressing a room filled with VVIPs, sponsors, partners, media friends, and pioneering entrepreneurs, the founder of the Phoenix Global Award, Viki Chong, opened the conference with a powerful and deeply personal address.
“Today, what we are launching is not just an award. It is more like a network that carries hope, purpose, and opportunities. The meaning behind this platform is to help more people discover their value, and find the place where they truly belong.” Viki Chong, Founder of Phoenix Global Award.
In her moving speech, Viki Chong emphasized that the Phoenix Global Award was born out of a profound sense of mission rather than profit. Over years of working within industry circles, she witnessed countless individuals who poured their hearts into their businesses and crafts, yet went unnoticed.
The platform aims to ensure that: Capable individuals are never overlooked; Visionary leaders are amplified to reach a wider audience; Potential talent is discovered, empowered, and celebrated globally.
“Because we all understand that entrepreneurship has never been a journey meant to be walked alone,” Chong noted. “The people who truly go far in life are often those who have a group of people behind them — supporting one another, lifting one another, and growing together.”
The choice of the “Phoenix” as the symbol for the award is a deliberate nod to human resilience. The platform champions the idea that setback is merely a setup for rebirth—using experience, faith, and grit to soar even higher.
By giving hard-working individuals the applause and recognition they deserve, the Phoenix Global Award aims to inject new strength into the entrepreneurial ecosystem. When one person is seen, they gain the momentum to press forward; when an entire community is highlighted, it creates a collective power capable of changing lives.
Moving forward, the Phoenix Global Award intends to establish a sustainable legacy, consistently bringing outstanding individuals onto larger international stages.
The successful launch of the press conference underscores the strength of collaborative partnerships. Collective gratitude was extended to the VVIPs, media friends, the dedicated organizing team, and the forward-thinking brands anchoring this initiative. The Phoenix Global Award is also proudly sponsored by Malinja Travel, Fish Village Seafood Restaurant, Loong Kee, VIP Luxury VIP Transport, Suz Beauty, Playgrnd DJ Academy, TAMAGOSAMIN and MKCA.
As the Phoenix Global Award officially spreads its wings, it invites dreamers, leaders, and creators from all walks of life to walk this journey together—to stay true to their original intentions, support one another, and soar higher and further as a unified community.
