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.
Thank you, Malaysians, for participating in the Star Golden Hearts Award 2025 and helping us honour the unsung heroes in our community. Stay tuned for the winners’ announcement on 20 November 2025.
