“The Lifetime Achievement Award is conferred on individuals who have either promoted the cause of learning or pioneered initiatives that have impacted people in a significant manner.”
Mohamed Fahmy Hassan, the Maldivian ambassador to Malaysia, accepted the award on behalf of the president at a ceremony held Tuesday night in Putrajaya. Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, Malaysia’s deputy prime minister, was the guest of honour at the gala dinner.
