As the Deputy Minister of National Unity, I have witnessed firsthand the transformative power of inclusivity
and cross-cultural collaboration. Our ability to embrace diversity and build unity amid differences is not
just a national priority—it is a global necessity. In today’s rapidly evolving world, national unity is no longer
confined to borders but extends to our shared human values
The Role of Global Changemakers The individuals we honor today exemplify the values of courage, creativity, and compassion. They havedared to challenge the status quo, reimagine solutions, and uplift communities in ways that inspire us all.Their work reminds us that leadership is not about titles—it is about impact. True leadership is aboutcreating platforms where people from different walks of life can unite, collaborate, and drive change
together.Malaysia, as a multi-ethnic, multi-religious, and multicultural nation, stands as a testament to the power of unity in diversity. We strongly believe that by embracing inclusivity and fostering collaboration, we can
achieve a world where opportunity, justice, and prosperity are accessible to all.
As we celebrate these achievements, let us also reaffirm our shared responsibility. The challenges we
face—be it climate change, economic transformation, education, or social equity—cannot be solved in
isolation. Real progress requires collective action and international cooperation. This is precisely why
forums like the Global Change Makers Awards are vital—they bring together visionaries, policymakers,
and changemakers to exchange ideas, collaborate, and build a future that benefits all.

happen in isolation—it happens when individuals come together with a shared vision and unwavering
determination. Let this gathering ignite new ideas, strengthen alliances, and accelerate our collective
journey toward a world where peace, sustainability, and progress are not just aspirations, but realities.
Let us continue to lead with vision, act with purpose, and inspire with integrity.
