It's a great honor for our Malaysian bred company to have appeared on the New York Times Square big screen twice in the span of a month. This simply shows NASDAQ's recognition of our achievement in biotechnology especially coming from South East Asia. ALPS Global Holding Berhad, being a biotechnology integrated company founded by Datuk Seri Dr. Tham Sk and Datuk Razef Abdullah, has laid out a solid ground for the company to charter a new path and become a key player in regenerative medicine especially in the South East Asia and Asia regions. It is an invaluable diamond that our local institutions such as Khazanah Nasional Berhad, Permodalan Nasional Berhad, KWAP Malaysia, EPF Malaysia and LEMBAGA TABUNG ANGKATAN TENTERA need to have a position in. I believe more Malaysian institutions and corporations need to be on board as shareholders to show our solidarity towards our homegrown company on a global stage. I am proud of ALPS achievement to date. As the saying goes "When the going gets tough, the tough get going." It simply shows ALPS' capability to be where it is today. How do you feel about it? Please reach out to me to learn more about ALPS 🌻 #smartinvestingforsmartinvestors #LRcommunity
