KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 27: Asia Record has launched the third edition of its Asia Record Book of Achievement, expanding its efforts to document and showcase notable achievements by individuals, businesses and organisations across the region.
The latest edition, launched on Aug 27, 2026, follows strong response to the previous editions and features an updated collection of record holders and achievements recognised by Asia Record.
The first edition of the Asia Record Book of Achievement was launched in February 2025, followed by the second edition during Asia Record’s official media launch on Oct 16, 2025.
According to Asia Record, the decision to publish a third edition was driven by growing interest in the publication as well as the increasing number of new achievements recognised by the organisation.
The publication aims to provide greater visibility to achievements taking place across Asia while creating a permanent record that allows the stories behind these accomplishments to be preserved for future generations.
Asia Record chief adjudicator Dato’ KK Chua said the book was created not only to recognise record holders but also to encourage others to challenge conventional limits and pursue achievements of their own.
“Every record represents more than a title or a number. Behind every achievement is a story of determination, innovation, perseverance and the courage to push beyond what was previously thought possible,” Dato KK Chua said.
“Through the Asia Record Book of Achievement, we want these accomplishments to be officially documented, shared and remembered. More importantly, we hope their stories can inspire people across Asia to challenge themselves and realise what they too are capable of achieving.”
“For the record holders, we want the book to serve as a lasting legacy — something that documents their achievement not only for today, but for generations to come.”
Dato KK Chua said the organisation hopes the continued publication of the book will encourage greater participation from across Asia and bring wider attention to achievements emerging from different countries, industries and communities.
The records documented by Asia Record span various fields, including entrepreneurship, business, innovation, technology, education, sports, culture, entertainment and community development.
With successive editions, Asia Record aims to develop the Book of Achievement into a growing archive documenting notable milestones and the people and organisations behind them.
“Asia is home to extraordinary talent and achievements, but many of these stories are still not widely known beyond their respective industries or countries,” Dato KK Chua said.
“We want to provide a platform where these achievements can be recognised and brought to a wider audience. Ultimately, we want more people to step forward, challenge themselves and turn their achievements into something official. That is what our slogan, ‘Make It Official’, represents.”
The third edition features newly recognised Asia Record achievers and their respective accomplishments, providing readers with a snapshot of achievements taking place across the region.
The Asia Record Book of Achievement is available at major bookstores and through the Asia Record official website www.asiarecord.com For Asia Record, the publication represents more than a collection of records. It is intended to become a documented legacy of Asian achievement — preserving today’s milestones while inspiring the achievements of tomorrow. For more info : www.asiarecord.com
