The August Man Men of the Year 2019

We may have gone a little over our heads last year, when we featured a total of 18 recipients for the 10th anniversary of the August Man Malaysia Men of the Year. (Not with a fizzle, but with a bang, eh?) Nevertheless, our annual tribute to the lifestyle and passion of the modern gentleman continues this year with a new cycle of passionate and creative individuals, who are out there making a change, not only in their respective disciplines, but in the world.

From individuals lifting up the local communities in Malaysia, to those putting the country on the map by offering their talents and intelligence to global scaled issues – here are the Men of the Year 2019!
