Merdeka Award Trust aims to promote thought leadership and innovation, foster a culture of excellence, and encourage a worldview in all key sectors from science and technology to the arts.
The Merdeka Award Trust celebrates the achievements and significant contributions of individuals and organisations to Malaysia, within their respective fields.
It explores the liberation of the mind and spirit, the strength of character and integrity that underpin meaningful impact, together with the creativity and vision that enables greatness.
In fostering a culture of excellence, the Merdeka Award Trust has two signature programmes, namely the Merdeka Award and the Merdeka Award Grant for International Attachment.
Both these signature programmes are designed to recognise outstanding accomplishments that have impacted the nation positively, while also providing a platform to nurture talent, foster innovation, and facilitate international collaboration.
The Merdeka Award publishes the Merdeka Award Commemorative Book to showcase the work and achievements of each of the Merdeka Award recipient.
The books capture how each of these carefully-selected recipients demonstrate the spirit of fostering a culture of excellence, and how they, through their efforts, have brought significant and sustained benefits to the people of Malaysia.
