Star Golden Hearts Award is an annual Award by The Star that celebrates everyday Malaysians who demonstrate extraordinary commitment to social work and promote unity among Malaysians, whether through explicit means or by virtue of their acts of kindness.
Introduced in 2015, each year we invite Malaysians to nominate exemplary individuals or organisations who are then reviewed by a panel of judges.
This year (2024), The Star has awarded a RM150,000 cash award pool to support the good work of the award winners, with ten winners received RM15,000 each.
Thank you, Malaysians, for participating in the Star Golden Hearts Award 2024 and helping us honour the unsung heroes in our community.
