Maybank Singapore's CEO Alvin Lee emphasized that the collaboration celebrates resilience, leadership, and commitment to uplifting oneself and the community. The BH-Maybank Perkasa Awards will be judged by a panel featuring Nazry Mokhtar, Zainul Abidin Rasheed, Sazzali Sabandi, and community leaders Intan Azura Mokhtar, Norshahril Saat, and Fazlur Rahman Kamsani.
