The World Brands Foundation (TWBF) has presented The BrandLaureate Bumiputera BestBrands Awards 2026 alongside The BrandLaureate Fast Moving Growing & Sustainable Business and Brands Awards 2026.
For
The BrandLaureate, each recognition platform is a reaffirmation of
brand purpose, principled leadership, and long-term value creation. In
today's increasingly discerning environment, brands are defined not only
by visibility, but by the strength of their governance, the discipline
of their strategy, and the trust they inspire among stakeholders, the
company said.
Across the global halal landscape, the progressive
growth of bumiputera enterprises and the evolving fast-moving growing
and sustainable business and brands (FMGS) sector, branding has become a
catalyst for credibility, competitiveness, and sustainable economic
contribution.
The BrandLaureate Bumiputera BestBrands Awards 2026, held under the theme Memperkasa Jenama Bumiputera, Keunggulan Diiktiraf, Prestij Dipertingkat (Empowering the Bumiputera Brand, Excellence Recognized, Prestige Enhanced) celebrates the strength, resilience and growing authority of bumiputera brands.
In an increasingly competitive marketplace, these brands have demonstrated that strong identity, structured governance and strategic branding are catalysts for sustainable growth, the organisers said.
This year's recipients include United AsiaPac Energy, Bartech Empire, Dians Signature, Kedai Emas Kamarulhadi (Kaharo Jewels), Normey Holdings, QUL Holdings Malaysia (QHSB), Sahabat Ikhtiar Trading Sdn Bhd (Sahabat Ar Rahnu), Tabung Ekonomi Gagasan Anak Sarawak (TEGAS).
The BrandLaureate Bumiputera BrandLeadership Award 2026 further recognised individuals for excellence in leadership, brand building, and industry influence. This year's recipients include Puan Nurul Adlinna Mohammad Bakri, Founder of Bartech Empire and Puan Siti Adira Binti Suhaimi (Adira), a Malaysian singer and entrepreneur.
"In a world of expanding opportunities and intensifying competition, branding is what elevates a business into a lasting force — it is what makes a brand be seen, heard, known, and remembered," said President Emeritus Professor Dr KK Johan, World President of The World Brands Foundation.
