Golden Bull Award winners exude strength and agility to overcome pandemic

KUALA LUMPUR,Malaysia,Nov. 10,2021 -- As Malaysia took a beating economically with our GDP contracting by 5.6 percent in 2020,SMEs were particularly hard hit by the pandemic. However,as the economy reopens,Malaysia's GDP is expected to grow between 3 to 4 percent in 2021.

Among those leading the charge are winners of the Golden Bull Award 2021 who have proven that strength,agility,and decisive action are factors in overcoming the pandemic. With minimal assistance from the government,these Malaysian SMEs successfully adapted and evolved their business model and strategies to survive and thrive amidst the pandemic.
