The 2014 Malaysia Excellence Awards recognized best practices and outstanding performance by Malaysian companies in different sectors such as automation & electronics, automotive, chemicals, energy, environment & building, food, healthcare, information & communication technologies and logistics.

Award recipients were identified based on in-depth interviews, analysis, and extensive secondary research conducted by Frost & Sullivan's analysts.
