2022 marks the 20th Golden Bull Award. Since its inception in 2003, the Golden Bull Award has gone on to recognize over 2,000 Malaysian businesses with about 17,000 nominees participating in the program. A proudly Malaysian brand, the Golden Bull Award has since expanded to, and organised in, Singapore, Taiwan and mainland China - helping bridge businesses across the region.

The Golden Bull Award recognises SMEs who have shown outstanding resilience and quick thinking to adapt and evolve in an ever changing market environment.

Celebrating this momentous occasion, for the first time ever, the Golden Bull Award gala dinner and award presentation was held for two nights. 2022 sets an all-time record for having 2183 nominees, more than double that of 2021, as businesses grasp at the opportunity for a stimulus to restarting and growing their businesses post-pandemic.

Datuk William Ng, organising chairman of the Golden Bull Award, said, “the common traits of these successful SMEs, who thrived despite the pandemic, are that they have a strong business foundation and were quick to adapt to the adverse situation. The same companies are now among the first to rebound from the pandemic - proving that businesses must focus on getting their basics right”.

The Golden Bull Award, the first award for SMEs in Malaysia, was first organised in 2003. The Award is organised by Business Media International, the region’s leader in B2B media and business intelligence.

“The Golden Bull Award symbolises “Strength and Growth”. This year, it also represents resilience, and the idea that we must not give up, no matter how tough the road ahead will be”, said Ng.

A total of 3 different categories were open for competition, including Emerging SMEs, Outstanding SMEs, and the coveted Super Golden Bull Award, categorised respectively according to annual turnover.

This year, the Golden Bull Award introduced the inaugural Digital Transformation Awards, an award that goes beyond recognizing the current digital transformation journey to reinforcing the belief and culture - internally, externally, exponentially - that digital is the future. A total of 11 businesses are selected as winners.

Dignitaries at the award presentation included YB Datuk Haji Ahmad Amzad Bin Hashim, Deputy Minister of Ministry of Science, Technology & Innovation, Rizal Nainy, CEO of SME Corporation Malaysia, Sikh Shamsul Ibrahim Sikh Abdul Majid, Executive Director of MIDA, Paul W Chan, President of Malaysian Alliance of Corporate Directors (MACD) and Dato' Andy Seo, Co-Chairman of PEMUDAH.

The official auditor of the Golden Bull Award is Baker Tilly Malaysia, while the official credit reporting agency is CTOS Data Systems Sdn Bhd with Malaysiakini as the official media partner. Two representatives from Malaysiakini had also gone up on stage to receive the media partner's memorabilia.

Judges include academic leaders such as Taylor's University’s Professor Dr Khong Kok Wei, Nilai University’s Professor Dr Sivakumar Velayutham & Swinburne University of Technology’s Professor Lim Weng Marc.
