September 16 2011 - YGL are pleased to announce that we have recently carried out a full re-branding exercise in order to refresh our image
and focus our promotional material more explicitly towards our core characteristics and positioning. The new product logo mark and brand
components are set to create a more contemporary company image and corporate style in a consistent manner, in order to continue communi-
cating with professionals in a wide range of manufacturing, hospitality and tax based industries.
The new product branding incorporates the characteristics and equity of the company image that have been developed with customers over
many years. The new logo is one of our most valuable assets and will be used on all printed items, across all electronic formats, and products.
The MSC Malaysia Asia Pacific ICT Awards (MSC Malaysia APICTA), under the patronage of the Prime Minis-
ter of Malaysia, provides a platform to stimulate creativity, innovation and excellence in ICT in Malaysia, bench-
mark Malaysian ICT products and solutions, and to recognise outstanding achievements in ICT of students, tech-
nopreneurs, SMEs and organisations with operations in Malaysia.
This annual Awards Programme initiated in 1999 by the Multimedia Development Corporation, has evolved from
being known as the Asia Pacific MSC IT & Telecommunications Awards (APMITTA) to MSC-Asia Pacific ICT
Awards (MSC-APICTA) in 2002 when the international Awards Programme, APICTA, was launched. In line
with the rebranding of the MSC (Multimedia Super Corridor) to MSC Malaysia in 2006 to reflect the MSC as a
national ICT initiative, the Awards Programme is now known as MSC Malaysia APICTA.
The Winners of MSC Malaysia APICTA receive a trophy and certificate and the most outstanding Winner is se-
lected for the Prime Minister Best of the Best Award. The Winners represent Malaysia at the international Asia
Pacific ICT Awards (APICTA) vying with the national award winners from other economies in the region for the
APICTA Awards trophy in the various Award Categories.
Sixteen member economies - Australia, Brunei, China, Hong Kong, India, Korea, Macau, Malaysia, Myanmmar,
Pakistan, the Philippines, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Vietnam—participate in this international initiative
and take turns to host the annual Awards through a bidding process.
The Awards Programme also provides a unique opportunity and ideal environment for individuals and companies
to gain local, regional and international exposure through on-going promotional activities.
