SME Association to host charity golf tournament on June 6
KUALA LUMPUR: The SME Association of Malaysia is hosting a charity golf tournament, the SME International Charity Golf 2025, at the Kota Permai Golf & Country Club, Selangor, on June 6.
The event, which will be held from 11am to 10pm, aims to bring together business leaders, entrepreneurs, and industry stakeholders for a memorable day of golf, strategic networking, and social responsibility.
"This signature event is expected to attract over 120 prominent professionals and business owners from Malaysia and the Asean region.
"The occasion carries a dual mission, 50 per cent of proceeds will be donated to charitable homes supporting underprivileged and marginalised communities, while the remaining 50 per cent will be allocated to the SME Development Fund, a dedicated initiative to support the growth and capacity building of small and medium enterprises across the country," it said in a statement.
In line with the association's commitment to fostering impactful partnerships, companies and organisations are warmly invited to participate as sponsors of this prestigious event.
Sponsorship opportunities offer valuable brand visibility, access to networking with influential decision-makers, and a meaningful avenue to demonstrate corporate social responsibility.
"Support from the business community is essential to amplifying the reach and success of the tournament, while making a tangible difference to both charitable causes and the SME ecosystem," it said.
Deputy Digital Minister Datuk Wilson Ugak Kumbong will officiate the event.
He said the SME International Charity Golf 2025 is more than just a sporting event — it is a vital platform for connecting entrepreneurs, industry leaders, and innovators to champion economic growth and inclusive development.
"As Malaysia continues its digital transformation journey, it is essential to empower SMEs through collaboration and exposure to digital solutions," he said in the statement.
He said such events not only foster strategic networks but also help enhance competitiveness, sustainability, and global reach for local businesses.
Meanwhile, SME Association president Chin Chee Seong said the SME International Charity Golf 2025 is a meaningful initiative that reflects the spirit of business, digital progress, and social responsibility.
"As we work towards a digitally empowered SME landscape, this event provides a valuable platform for industry players to connect and collaborate to drive growth.
"At the same time, we are proud that this tournament supports charitable causes, demonstrating that economic progress and compassion for the community can go hand in hand.
"Together, we can uplift both businesses and those in need," said Chin.
Participation in the SME International Charity Golf 2025 is open to individuals and corporate teams.
The registration fee includes green fees, a twin-sharing buggy and caddy, a tournament T-shirt, a premium goodies bag, lunch, and dinner.
In addition to a day of sport and camaraderie, participants can look forward to winning attractive novelty prizes, trophies, and hole-in-one rewards.
