KUALA LUMPUR (June 9): Sunway Bhd emerged best company at the recent fifth Malaysia Investor Relations Association (MIRA) awards ceremony, bagging seven awards under the mid-cap category.

According to a statement released by the group today, Sunway founder and chairman Tan Sri Jeffrey Cheah was named Best CEO for Investor Relations (Mid Cap), deputy CFO Ng Lai Ping was named best CFO for Investor Relations, and corporate finance assistant general manager Clement Chen was named Best Investor Relation Professional.

Sunway also won Best Investor Relations Website (Mid Cap), Best Knowledge and Insights of Investor Relations Team, and Most Improved Service from Investor Relations Team.

The winners were chosen based on surveys undertaken by the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations (NASDAQ) in partnership with MIRA, and was extended to over 2,200 buy-side and sell-side professionals globally.

“The wins are a testament to the group’s continuous effort to bridge the gap between our management and the investing community through prompt and transparent communication. We are delighted by the investment community’s acknowledgement and would like to take this opportunity to thank them for their support and interest in Sunway,” said Sunway’s  executive vice president of the president’s office Evan Cheah, who received the award on behalf of the chairman.

Sunway was one of only 24 stocks to be identified and included in the FTSE4Good Bursa Malaysia Index.

The MIRA was established in June 2007 by Bursa Malaysia and was funded by the Capital Market Development Fund (CMDF), a statutory fund under the purview of the Securities Commission of Malaysia. The awards recognise individuals and companies that have successfully embraced best investor relations practices.
