During an impressive Awards Ceremony held in Kuala Lumpur recently, a prestigious jury named Y Bhg Tan Sri Dato' Dr Lim Kok Wing of LimKokWing University College of Creative Technology as Malaysia’s Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2005, chosen from a selection of 15 outstanding entrepreneurs, each and everyone of them, leading captains of industry in their own right. In addition to receiving the Country Award at the glitzy Awards Gala Night, Y Bhg Tan Sri Dato' Dr Lim was also named the recipient of the Master Entrepreneur of the Year® award.

The awards are a culmination of several months of interviews and judging sessions by an independent panel of judges. “We take great pride in the role we have played, and will continue to play in celebrating the story of how so many hard-won dreams have come true. It was indeed a challenge for the judges to select one single award recipient, as each top nominee is a winner in his or her own right,” said Mr See Huey Beng, Country Managing Partner, Ernst & Young.

As the Malaysian Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year 2005, Y Bhg Tan Sri Dato' Dr Lim Kok Wing, will now carry the flag and represent the country at the world award event at Monte Carlo in June 2006.  This world award event, the stage where more than 35 of the best entrepreneurs from around the globe will compete for the 6th Ernst & Young World Entrepreneur of the Year Award, has now become the global benchmark of entrepreneurial excellence.
