AUGUSTMAN Malaysia celebrated 16 years of its annual Men of the Year event on 12 December 2024 at Ciao Ristorante in partnership with Jaecoo, Evian, Kapten Batik, and Cole Haan.
AUGUSTMAN Malaysia’s Men of the Year event is curated as a celebration of the success, commitment, and courage of the outstanding men who are doing stellar work in their respective industries throughout the year.

This year, 10 individuals were honoured across 9 categories: activism, intellect, visionaire, film, entrepreneur, music, sport, style, and art.
