What's SOBA?

The Star Outstanding Business Awards (The SOBA) honours local enterprises for excelling in areas that span across sectors. This means we will be looking at businesses that do well with their bottom lines, as well as performance at the forefront in anticipating the future needs of the company and economy sector in which they operate in. An enterprise that knows how to adjust its operational procedures to meet environmental concerns and – in the process – grow its profits, will stand out.

Particular attention will be given to local businesses that export their products or services, as they help to promote Malaysia as a global centre of commercial excellence. We envisaged that those who are awarded The Star Outstanding Business Awards are looking towards listing on the Malaysian Stock Exchange in the not too distant future.

The SOBA is organised by The Star with the official auditor being BDO.
