Star Golden Hearts Award is an annual Award by The Star and Yayasan Gamuda that celebrates everyday Malaysians who demonstrate extraordinary commitment to social work and promote unity among Malaysians.
Introduced in 2015, each year we invite Malaysians to nominate exemplary individuals or organisations who are then reviewed by a panel of judges. Of these nominations, ten winners are selected and eligible to be awarded the coveted Gamuda Inspiration Award.
In 2023, ten winners were selected from more than 700 nominations. From reducing poverty to rehabilitating endangered species, the award recipients were chosen for their remarkable impact on Malaysia's communities and environment. Each of the winner received RM15,000 and both Gamuda Inspiration Award winners received RM150,000 each.
All nominations undergo a stringent selection process which includes screening, shortlisting and judging by a panel of esteemed judges who are social sector leaders in their respective fields.

Yayasan Gamuda has been a longstanding partner and supporter of Star Golden Hearts Award (SGHA) since 2016. In line with its aspirations for impactful community investments and development, each year Yayasan Gamuda presents the coveted Gamuda Inspiration Award (GIA) to at least one winner chosen from the 10 SGHA winners.
The GIA winner is determined from a rigorous selection process by a panel of assessors within Gamuda’s group of companies. The panel is guided by four judging pillars – authenticity of social causes, sustainable use of innovative-driven solutions, societal impact and scalability of future collaborations.
Winners of the GIA receive additional grants from Yayasan Gamuda on top of their accolade as a SGHA winner.
