HTNetwork organised a gathering early in the new year where 30 odd friends, both old and new, were invited to celebrate while networking. The invited guests were from various industries, including those from private business investment, government sector, luxury automotive and fashion, fine food and restaurants, information technology, public relation, etc. The founder of CHTNetwork, CH’NG Huck Theng believes that the success of the organisation greatly depends on its motto of … Where All Good Things in Life Meet – connecting beautiful people and introducing quality products. The gathering was held at Temple Brewery located at Brunswick East, Melbourne. A very unique restaurant that brews its own award winning craft beers and serves amazing food.

客人来自各个行业，包括私人商业投资、政府部门、豪华汽车和时尚、美食和餐馆、资讯科技、公共联系等等。创办人CHT认为，CHTNetwork 的成功很大程度上取决于它的座右铭…“生命中的美好事物相遇之处，连接美丽的人，引进优质产品”。这场聚会在位于墨尔本东布伦瑞克的Temple Brewery 举行。这是一家非常独特的餐厅，酿造本身屡获殊荣的精酿啤酒，同时供应精致美食。

Entering its 6th edition, CHT Awards is now officially known as the CHT International Awards. This prestigious award presentation is no longer just recognising local Malaysians’ achievements, but also adopting a new category that honours international recipients who have remarkably contributed to their respective societies. With its motto of ‘Outstanding Leaders & Great Organizations’, president CH’NG Huck Theng who also founded CHTNetwork had a vision to forge the spirit of ‘Where All Good Things in Life Meet’ – creating platforms where friends can meet to further explore possibilities and potentials. CHT Awards was one of the brainchild to unveil the contributions of individuals and organisations to the public; it also creates an opportunity for others to meet the greats in person. This one-of-its-kind award strives to acknowledge people and organisations from different industries and countries through real merit and contributions and not solely on fame and fortune.

迈入第6届的CHT大奖现已正式被称为“CHT国际大奖”。这项备受推崇的颁奖仪式不再仅认证马来西亚人的成就，同时采用全新的机制类别，表彰那些促进与贡献和谐社会的国际得奖者。

凭借“杰出的领袖与伟大的团体组织”的原则，由庄学腾创立的CHTNetwork有一个梦想：本着“遇见生活中一切美好的人与事”的精神并创造一个平台，让朋友们能进一步探讨可能性和激发潜力。

CHT大奖是脑力激荡的产物，也揭开个人和组织对公众的重大贡献；并且创造了一个机会，让大家发掘人性之美好。这独一无二的奖励是给予那些真正付出功绩和奉献的不同行业个人或组织，而不仅是考虑名气与成功。

Over 400 invited guests had dressed to impress at the event with the theme Le Connoisseur – gentlemen were in their charismatic formal suits while the ladies turned up in flattering dresses of lace and chiffon. Among the Guests of Honour were His Royal Highness The Crown Prince of Perlis Tuanku Syed Faizuddin Putra Ibni Tuanku Syed Sirajuddin Jamalullail and Her Royal Highness The Crown Princess of Perlis Tuanku Hajjah Lailatul Shahreen Akashah Khalil accompanied by the Ambassador of Lebanon to Malaysia His Excellency Ali Daher and spouse Dania Daher, Ambassador of Cambodia to Malaysia Her Royal Highness Samdech Reach Botrei Preah Anoch Norodom Arunrasmy and Ambassador of Pakistan to Malaysia His Excellency Mr. & Mrs. Hassan Raza. Sponsors for this high profile event were Amee Philips, Fujifilm, Nasim Carpets, Lamborghini Kuala Lumpur, One East Museum, Rado and SocietyImaging.

达官与贵人
400多名受邀嘉宾出席这届主题为“鉴赏家”的颁奖晚会并留下深刻的印象-出席的绅士们身着魅力的正式西装，而优雅的女士们却穿上蕾丝或雪纺的衣裙惊艳全场。其中荣誉贵宾为DYTM Raja Muda Perlis Tuanku Syed Faizuddin Putra ibni Tuanku Syed Sirajuddin Jamalullail殿下与夫人DYTM Tuanku Hajjah Lailatul Shahreen Akashah Khalil，伴随着黎巴嫩驻马来西亚大使Ali Daher阁下和夫人Dania Daher，柬埔寨驻马来西亚大使SamdechReach Botrei Preah Anoch Norodom Arunrasmy公主殿下亲王，还有巴基斯坦驻马来西亚大使HassanRaza阁下偕夫人。这项引人注目的颁奖活动赞助商是AmeePhilips、Fujifilm、NasimCarpets、吉隆坡兰博基尼，一东博物馆和Rado，同时，感谢SocietyImaging担任合作伙伴。而激动人心的颁奖晚宴也选在吉隆坡皇家卓兰酒店Taming Sari大宴会厅盛大举行。

 

The Performances
The night started off with a pair of sister-brother siblings presenting a duet of The Myth OST – Endless Love together with the Master of Ceremony of the night Daniel Chan. Followed by veteran actress and singer Sophia Ibrahim. Renowned music composer Johan Nawawi chipped in to entertain the crowd with ‘Hanya Satu’ and international acclaimed violinist Tengku Ryo from Indonesia captured the hearts of the guests with his mellow violin melody.

演出……
首先掀开序幕的是由一对声音动人的姐弟歌手搭档合唱电影“神话”的主题曲-无尽的爱，由大会司仪DanielChan伴奏。其次是资深女星兼歌手 Sophia Ibrahim 的实力表演，而著名作曲家 Johan Nawawi 也现场呈献“Hanya Satu”娱宾。来自印尼的国际著名的小提琴家Tengku Ryo却以柔美激情的旋律迅速捕捉现场听众的心。

The Birthdays
One distinctive thing about CHT Awards is that it is not only prestigious, but also with a heart. Knowing that some guests actually postponed their birthday celebration with their loved ones and friends to support the event, five guests were delighted with a surprise birthday celebration when cakes and presents were presented to them accompanied by a birthday song from the floor. Guest of Honour HRH The Crown Prince of Perlis Tuanku Syed Faizzudin was also caught by surprise when the President of CHTNetwork presented a rare and old huge Coca Cola bottle as a belated birthday present knowing that The Crown Prince was an avid Coca Cola collector.

生日…
CHT大奖与众不同的是，不仅是满载荣誉，而且非常贴心。获悉当晚一些出席贵宾由于颁奖礼推迟本身与亲友庆生活动，精心准备了蛋糕和礼物，伴随着生日歌，为5名贵宾举办了惊喜生日派对。例如荣誉贵宾玻璃市州王储Tuanku Syed Faizzudin殿下也显得意想不到，当CHTNetwork的创始人拿出巨型罕见的可口可乐瓶作为迟来的生日礼物，因为殿下是狂热的可口可乐收藏家。

The Auctions
Auction of the night is always a significant part of CHT Awards as guests will have the opportunity to have some fun and excitement in the bidding game and at the same time contribute to charity as part of the proceeds from all items sold will go to children in need for a helping hand. Most of the sponsors for this year’s CHT International Awards 2016 chipped in to this worthy cause.

拍卖…
慈善拍卖始终是CHT大奖不变的关键环节，除了让来宾感受拍卖招标的气氛和乐趣，最重要的是参与慈善公益的一部分，销售项目的收入将捐给有需要的不幸儿童。大多数赞助商也为2016年CHT国际大奖这个崇高的事业献捐。
