The monumental night had captured the early 19^th Century atmosphere of French romance in the Paris Opera House, as depicted in the novel.

The annual award ceremony emphasizes that the candidates are referred to as “Award Recipients” and there are no winners, as the trophy and recognition is given for deserving individuals “who have successfully steered their ships through stormy seas to reach the shores safely”. The Award aims to commit their worldwide members to promote exemplary leadership and recognize the successes of entrepreneurs and leading business visionaries across all industry sectors. The Award honors their overall excellence and great contributions towards global economic development. Dato’ Seri Raymond Liew said, “The McMillan Woods Global Awards doesn’t only recognize the industry stalwarts - The crème de la crème of global successful leaders, but also provides an avenue for fellow recipients to network with each other. There have been several business collaborations and partnerships forged between recipients besides friendships.” The McMillan Woods Global Awards, primarily based on the “People’s Choice” award, is international in nature and have attracted participants from a multitude of countries including Australia, Cambodia, China, Cyprus, United Arab Emirates (UAE), Hong Kong, India, Iran, Japan, Indonesia, Korea, Mauritius, Nepal, Philippines, Taiwan, Singapore, Thailand, United Kingdom, and United States of America (USA). “Such a noble award really humbles me. It certainly gives me a greater motivation to work harder. I hope to inspire the future generations to follow my footstep in achieving greatness,” said Fazura. 

 The Guest of Honor for the prestigious McMillan Woods Global Awards was none other than Y.M. Tunku Datuk Mu’tamir Tunku Tan Sri Mohamed. “Such a prestigious global award event is a sturdy platform and a great effort towards recognizing the many exemplary leaders around the world, and I am sure these global leaders have inspired many people through their outstanding achievements within their respective fields and industries”, said Tunku Datuk Mu’tamir.
