A Golden Celebration: AFFIN Bank Launches TOP50 Women of Excellence Awards for its 50th Anniversary

Honoring a New Era of Malaysian Leadership

In a landmark celebration of its 50th anniversary, AFFIN Group is raising the bar for corporate responsibility and empowerment. Through its premier banking arm, AFFIN INVIKTA™, the Group has proudly partnered with TOP50 Media Synergy Sdn Bhd to launch the AFFIN INVIKTA™ TOP50 Women of Excellence Awards 2025. This prestigious national platform is set to honor 50 of Malaysia’s most inspiring and impactful women leaders, marking a significant step forward in recognizing their contributions across the country.

More Than an Award, It’s a Movement

The official launch, held at Menara AFFIN @ TRX, was a momentous occasion. Datuk Wan Razly Abdullah, President & Group Chief Executive Officer of AFFIN Group, emphasized that this initiative is a movement, not just a recognition program. “At AFFIN, we honor women not only for their achievements, but for the future they are shaping,” he stated. He highlighted that this campaign is a key pillar of the Group’s AFFIN Axelerate 2028 (AX28) Strategic Plan and its commitment to Responsible Banking with Impact, demonstrating AFFIN's dedication to an inclusive and empowered Malaysia.

A Collaboration Driven by Purpose

This collaboration is a natural fit, uniting AFFIN's long-standing legacy with a platform dedicated to celebrating leadership. Mr. Kishvin Sirinavin, Founder and Chairman of TOP50 Media Synergy, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership. "This collaboration with AFFIN Group, especially in such a meaningful milestone year, is a testament to what's possible when purpose meets platform," he said. The awards are an expansion from last year’s successful "Top 30" program, broadening the scope to recognize even more deserving women in celebration of AFFIN's Golden Jubilee.

From Nomination to Gala Night

The awards are designed to honor outstanding Malaysian women from a wide range of sectors, including finance, science, entrepreneurship, education, public service, and the arts.
