A local businessman who hopes to inspire others to be more eco-friendly has received an award for his efforts.
Global Green Synergy managing director Joseph Lim Heng Ee, 37, said he hoped the Junior Chamber International Creative Young Entrepreneur Award (JCI CYEA) 2011 he has received would encourage others.
“The things that people are unwilling to do, I will do.
“This has driven me to accomplish what I have and I hope my passion will inspire others to be more green in their businesses too,” said Lim.
He said his biofuel company also provided training to orang asli to reduce their open burning and produce organic compost from agricultural waste.
“This award is to honour young entrepreneurs for the success and creativity in developing their businesses,” said JCI organising chairman Steward Lee.
He said the three winners would go on to compete in the international round at the World JCI CYEA 2011 in Belgium.
The other winners are Ban Lee Hin Engineering and Construction Sdn Bhd chairman Datuk Tony Looi Chee Hong and Kian Classic Design Sdn Bhd CEO Kenny Yiap Kian Wee.
