I am always amazed the “significant power” of the Asian Institute of Management (AIM) alumni network lies in its status as an elite, 50,000-strong global community of “transformative leaders” who occupy critical decision-making roles in business, government, academia & development across 86 countries. Our alma mater, AIM stands at the nexus of Asian excellence, shaping visionary professionals and leaders in business, innovation and global excellence. (www. aim.edu)
According to the respectable alumnus Zakaria Mohamad Nor (Pak Zak), MM 1978, former Senior Manager of the Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) Trade Division with Exxon Mobil, in charge of LPG business for Malaysia, that “AIM alumni are recognized for their ability to navigate complex global markets and hold high-ranking positions in diverse sectors. Many serve as CEOs and founder in industries like finance, hi-tech, and retail. Many AIM alumni act as policymakers, academicians, diplomats, head of government agencies, and advocating for sustainable economic growth and social development policies.”
In Malaysia, AIM Alumni meets offer opportunities to connect with professionals across industries, potentially leading to job opportunities, mentorship and business partnerships. These gatherings foster a sense of belonging by reconnecting with former classmates, faculty and campus life. Experienced alumni like Pak Zak, Triple A Awardees fmr Judge Dato' Syed Ahmad Idid, Dato' Dr. Sarip, Dato' Azaman, Prof Zul offering insights on navigating work paths.
During the alumni reunion on 22 April held at Royal Lake Club Kuala Lumpur, organized by President Sifu Louis & the Board of Kelab AIM Malaysia, one of the highlights was to recognize the AIM Alumni Achievements (Triple A) Awardee Haji Kasmuri Sukardi, MM 1994, who had received the prestigious award for 2026. Triple A is the highest honor, awarded to graduates demonstrating exceptional leadership, business success & significant contributions to society at large. Triple A is top accolade for alumni, with only 170 individuals out of over 50,000 graduates across 86 countries receiving it since 1975.
