HONOR recently marked its fifth anniversary in Malaysia by putting the spotlight on the consumers who have helped shape the brand’s journey to the top of the local smartphone market. The milestone was celebrated at the HONOR of Malaysia 5th Anniversary Gala, which brought together loyal users, fans, partners, photographers, and students, highlighting the company’s belief that its success has been built alongside Malaysian consumers in a highly competitive tech landscape.
During the event, HONOR recognized long-time supporters whose continued engagement has contributed to the brand’s growth since its early days in Malaysia. Outstanding individuals were honored across eight award categories, reflecting their influence on product development, the strengthening of HONOR’s ecosystem, and their positive impact on the wider community.
The celebration also coincided with HONOR’s achievement as the No.1 smartphone and tablet brand in the sell-out market share in Q4 2025. This milestone represents the culmination of five years of steady growth, driven by consistent innovation and strong consumer trust.
At the gala, the company also introduced the HONOR of Malaysia Awards Project, a long-term corporate social responsibility initiative aimed at recognizing everyday Malaysians who dedicate their lives to serving society. The program reflects the brand’s commitment to giving back as it enters its next phase of growth.
The initiative was officiated by Deputy Minister of Communications and Digital Teo Nie Ching and HONOR South Pacific President Justin Li. As part of its inaugural phase, three individuals were selected as the first recipients of the HONOR of Malaysia Award: Mohd Adli Yahya, Cikgu Prakash, and Mak Jah. The awards were presented by Dato’ Abdul Majid Ahmad Khan, former Malaysian Ambassador to China.
Mohd Adli Yahya, founder of the Autism Cafe Project, started the initiative in 2016 to create opportunities for his autistic son and others like him. To date, the project has supported more than 100 individuals with autism by providing a safe space for skills development, independence, and inclusive employment.
Prakash Surriyamurthy, better known as Cikgu Prakash, is a full-time tuition teacher who has spent the past 16 years commuting across the Klang Valley by train to teach Bahasa Melayu and Sejarah. Despite being visually impaired, his dedication to education and commitment to his students continue to inspire many.
Siti Normala Adrus, fondly known as Mak Jah, runs a modest food stall offering RM3 nasi campur and free meals for students every Tuesday in memory of her late family members. Driven by compassion rather than profit, she ensures affordable, nutritious meals remain accessible to lower-income communities.
In support of the Visit Malaysia 2026 campaign, HONOR also announced plans to launch a National Photography Tour. The initiative aims to showcase Malaysia’s landscapes, culture, and everyday stories through mobile photography. Participants will take part in destination visits, workshops, and on-ground activities, with selected works to be featured at the HONOR Global Exhibition 2026. Recruitment is expected to begin soon, with updates to be shared via HONOR Malaysia’s official Facebook page.
As HONOR moves into its next chapter in Malaysia, the brand says it remains committed to building meaningful technology experiences together with its users, while continuing to contribute positively to the communities it serves.
