Held once every two years, the 2022 CHT International Awards, organized by the CHTNetwork welcomed over 400 national and international guests, including leaders of industries and foreign dignitaries. This year’s gala event, aptly themed “The Four Elements – Earth, Water, Fire, and Air,” was hosted at Sunway Resort in Sunway City Kuala Lumpur. The theme was deeply regarded as the essentials of life on earth, as it grounds the public back to the basics of life following the pandemic, providing an opportunity for reflection and reconsidering life priorities.
Dato’ Ch’ng Huck Theng, Founding President of the CHTNetwork said, “The CHT International Award is more than an award ceremony. It is a platform that holds for the value of hard work and persistence with a vision to change the world for the better. Mediocrity has no seat on this podium. It is reserved only for those whom we believe represent the best in what they do. Since our first edition, CHT International Awards is all about honoring leaders and organizations that have achieved success in their respective industries and contributed to their societies and humanity as well as creating a sustainable environment for leaders of today to guide our future generations.”
Just like previous years, the award show also held a charity auction in collaboration with Sunway College STYLO Fashion Design Technology Hub that raised RM24,000 for The Spastic Children’s Association of Selangor and Federal Territory; with 5 exquisite custom-made outfits donated by award-winning Malaysian fashion designer Calvin Thoo in support of the project “Adaptive Fashion for the Underprivileged.”
