These youths are the future of Malaysia and we could not be more proud to have them as national representatives for the greater good!

Out of the 184 recipients who received the reward within the UK and internationally, three young Malaysians have been awarded UK’s 2020 Diana Award for going above and beyond in their daily life to create and sustain positive change. The award was established more than 10 years ago by the British government in honour of Princess Diana’s legacy by establishing a formal way to recognise the efforts of exceptional young people who demonstrate their ability to inspire and serve their communities by creating long-lasting change on a global scale.

Founded in 1999, the diana award is awarded to young heroes who do the most for social change in their communities.

Here are how these inspiring youths contributed to social change:
