KUALA LUMPUR, 2 July 2026 – The successful conclusion of the 5th ShangHai International Prestige Business Awards (SHIPBA 2026) marks more than another milestone for one of Malaysia’s leading business awards. It also reflects the continued evolution of SBS Nexus Berhad (Stock Name: SBS and Stock Code: 0386) from an integrated marketing solutions provider into a broader business ecosystem that connects brands, entrepreneurs, investors and industries.
Over the years, SBS Nexus Berhad has expanded beyond its traditional advertising and marketing services by building platforms that create meaningful business value. Through media, branding, events, business networking and strategic collaborations, the Group continues to strengthen its role as a business enabler, supporting enterprises throughout different stages of growth.
SHIPBA has become one of the flagship initiatives within this ecosystem. Now in its fifth edition, the award platform brings together listed corporations, SMEs, emerging brands and industry leaders under one roof, fostering business recognition, cross-industry networking and long-term collaboration opportunities.
This year’s edition recognised outstanding companies from diverse sectors including energy, technology, logistics, manufacturing, retail, healthcare, food and beverage, financial services and professional services. Notably, 17 Malaysian public listed companies were honoured, further reinforcing SHIPBA’s growing credibility and standing within the corporate community.
Among the distinguished recipients were United AsiaPac Energy Berhad, Catcha Digital Berhad, KGW Group Berhad, Teamstar Berhad, RT Pastry Holdings Berhad and Focus Point Holdings Berhad, reflecting the diversity and resilience of Malaysia’s corporate landscape. Hextar Global Berhad was presented with the prestigious Legacy Hallmark Business Award, while its Founder and Group Managing Director, Dato’ Ong Soon Ho, received the Legendary Titan of the Year Award in recognition of his outstanding leadership and contributions to the business community.
Managing Director and CEO of SBS Nexus Berhad, Mr. CM Wong, said that SHIPBA represents the Group’s commitment to creating sustainable value beyond commercial services.
“Our vision has always been to build platforms that connect businesses, facilitate collaboration and create opportunities. SHIPBA is not merely an awards programme—it is an ecosystem where enterprises gain recognition, build relationships and unlock new possibilities for growth.”
He added that as businesses continue to navigate an increasingly competitive and interconnected economy, platforms that encourage collaboration and knowledge exchange will become even more valuable in driving sustainable business success.
The continued growth of SHIPBA also demonstrates SBS Nexus Berhad’s ability to leverage its integrated capabilities across media, branding, events, business networking and strategic partnerships. Together, these business pillars reinforce the Group’s long-term strategy of creating recurring engagement, strengthening stakeholder relationships and expanding its value proposition.
As SBS Nexus Berhad continues to diversify its business portfolio, initiatives such as SHIPBA are expected to further enhance the Group’s brand equity while strengthening its position as a trusted business ecosystem builder, delivering sustainable value to shareholders, clients, business partners and the wider corporate community.
