The Edge Billion Ringgit Club (BRC) Awards turns 17 this year. The trust, support and goodwill — accumulated since 2010 — have helped make our simple desire to recognise, honour and celebrate the biggest and the best of Corporate Malaysia into a tradition, perhaps more. The Edge Media Group chairman Tan Sri Tong Kooi Ong thinks we can safely call the Billion Ringgit Club an institution. I agree.

Institutionalising excellence

The Edge Billion Ringgit Club (BRC) Awards 2026 brought together Corporate Malaysia’s leaders and top-performing companies on Sept 23 for an evening of celebration and recognition.
