KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, 3 December 2024 – The prestigious McMillan Woods Global Awards 2024 Appreciation Night was held at the Collection Ballroom, PARKROYAL Collection Kuala Lumpur, bringing together industry leaders, celebrated personalities and philanthropists for an evening of recognition and gratitude.

A Night of Recognition

The event honoured the awardees and supporters of the McMillan Woods Global Awards 2024, which took place on 18 October 2024 at Shangri-La Hotel Kuala Lumpur. This renowned international awards ceremony celebrates excellence across industries and highlights the achievements of exceptional leaders and innovators.

A key moment of the evening was the official launch of “In My Father’s Footsteps: Navigating Business & Philanthropy”, authored by Dato’ Seri Dr. Raymond Liew, Founder of McMillan Woods Global. The book, a personal and professional memoir, intertwines his leadership journey, lessons from his father and his mission to merge business excellence with philanthropy.

“True success is measured not by wealth but by the lives we touch. This book is my way of sharing that belief and inspiring others to embed purpose in their pursuits,” said Dato’ Seri Dr. Raymond Liew during the launch.

100% of the book’s proceeds will be donated to the various charity programme under the McM Cares Programme, embodying McMillan Woods’ dedication to giving back to the underprivileged communities.
