The 11th Malaysia Pass It On Charity Festival concluded on June 5, 2026, bringing together entrepreneurs, philanthropists, community leaders, and media personalities from across the nation under one roof. Held under the theme “Pass It On · The Courage to Start Again · Keep Chasing the Light”, the annual event once again reinforced its position as Malaysia’s most influential platform for recognising sustained philanthropic action.
The evening’s highest accolade — the Special Outstanding Contribution Award — was presented to Dr Kervis Soo, founder and chairman of Star Domain Group. Over the years, Dr Kervis has channelled consistent support toward education, underprivileged children, and community development programmes, including scholarship funds, school supply donations, and the establishment of a multi-million education foundation. Widely regarded as Malaysia’s Philanthropy Ambassador, his recognition this year drew a standing ovation from the crowd.
Multi-hyphenate entrepreneur and social media powerhouse Ms Puiyi (Siew Pui Yi) received the Philanthropist of the Year award, acknowledging her efforts that extend well beyond her 24-million-strong online following. The founder of Kiseki Skincare and MSPUIYI Cosmetics, Ms Puiyi co-launched a USD 1 million education fund with the Educapital Foundation, while also contributing actively to orphanage donations and food aid programmes — earning her the 2025 Malaysia Top 20 Outstanding Young Entrepreneurs Award earlier this year.
International DJ sensation Amber Na who commands over 17 million Instagram followers and has performed across more than ten countries, was also honoured with the Philanthropist of the Year title. Her growing involvement in charitable causes — using her platform to amplify social good — made her one of the most talked-about honourees of the night.
Industry observers noted that the festival’s continued strength lies in its ability to connect corporate resources with grassroots causes, forming a sustainable philanthropic ecosystem in Malaysia.
