The organization received 123 nominations from 17 countries for various categories of awards where 32 companies as winners by judges in different categories and from various sectors including information technology, publishing, textile, public transport as well as beauty and wellness.

Prasarana was accorded the award in recognition of its massive contribution in management of public transport operations and development of public transport infrastructure that included the new LRT Line Extension Project, which was officially opened in June last year and South East Asia’s first elevated Bus Rapid Transit system using full-fledged electric buses in Bandar Sunway.
