The Prime Minister’s Hibiscus Award (Anugerah Hibiscus Perdana Menteri), first launched in 1996, is the premier private sector environmental award for business and industry in Malaysia. The Award, previously known as “Hibiscus Award”, was upgraded to the Prime Minister’s Hibiscus Award, following the approval of the former Prime Minister of Malaysia, YAB Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, in June 1998.
