Kind Malaysia 2023 expo launched to champion kindness

Kind Malaysia 2023 launched today to much fanfare, drawing over 3,000 Malaysians from all walks of life with its message of championing kindness for the greater good.

The event, a unique platform in Malaysia that brings together the corporate sector, civil society, and individuals with similar interests, aims to collaborate towards improving society.

The two-day expo, held at Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre (MITEC), was officially opened by Tan Sri Asmat Kamaludin, the Chairman of the Advisory Board of Kind Malaysia 2023. He praised the event for its ability to unite people from diverse industries to address socio-economic and environmental challenges faced by communities nationwide. 

In his opening keynote speech, he emphasised the importance of corporate social responsibility in promoting sustainable development in Malaysia and building an inclusive society.

Kind Malaysia was launched in 2018 to promote kindness by facilitating meaningful partnerships between corporates, philanthropies, and non-profit organisations. After two successful events, including a virtual expo during the pandemic, this year’s edition returns to a physical format under the theme of “Kindness Unites Humanity”. The event explores how kindness bonds humanity and remains relevant in modern society and culture.

Over the next two days, Kind Malaysia 2023 will feature various activities to inspire collaboration and share ideas for effectively delivering Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) initiatives. 

The activities include keynote talks, seminars, panel discussions by distinguished experts and prominent organisations, and educational, experience-sharing, and relationship-building programmes. The event also features over 80 non-profit and socially responsible exhibitors showcasing the latest humanitarian innovations and best current practices.

Datuk (Dr) M. Gandhi of the Advisory Board for Kind Malaysia 2023 introduced a new term, “kind luck-party”, where like-minded people share their pot of kindness. The expo is hosted and jointly organised by Bumiati Holdings, Informa Markets Malaysia, and DSA Exhibition and Conference Sdn Bhd, Malaysia’s leading Business Event (BE) organisers, with the support of BE partners. 

The event’s corporate social responsibility partners include the Scouts Association of Malaysia, CIS Network Sdn Bhd, #myWorld by MITEC, Evenesis Sdn Bhd, Pico International Sdn Bhd, Qube Integrated (M) Sdn Bhd, Artisense Creative Sdn Bhd, Medical Conference Partner, Innogen Sdn Bhd, Curio Pack Sdn Bhd, R.E.
