I would first like to thank all those whom I am unable to name here, most especially those who consented to being interviewed for this research, and those who helped point me to relevant resources and information. I have also benefited from being part of a network of civil society groups that have enriched my understanding of the issues dealt with in this study. Three in particular need mentioning: Sisters in Islam, the Coalition for Sexual and Bodily Rights in Muslim Societies (CSBR), and the Kartini Network for Women’s and Gender Studies in Asia (Kartini Asia Network). I am grateful as well to my colleagues and teachers at the Department of Southeast Asian Studies – most of all my committee comprising Goh Beng Lan, Maznah Mohamad and Irving Chan Johnson – for generously sharing their intellectual insights and helping me sharpen mine. As well, I benefited tremendously from a pool of friends and family who entertained my many questions as I tried to make sense of my research findings.

Mohamad President Advisor binti Raja Abdullah CEO Dr Aseh Che Mat Patron Secretary General Chairman The power of branding is a visual, auditory and sensory experience which is undoubtedly vital to the success of brands. Brands are catalysts that transcend achieving objectives, making profits or establishing one’s status so that it appeals to consumers. In reality, consumers’ buying preferences are determined by the way brands attract and engage them. It is crucial that organizations realize the significance of brands and branding. Likewise, consumers must also be educated and informed concerning the qualities of good brands and best-branding practices. This is where the APBF steps in to develop the ‘art of branding’. With aspirations to encourage the awareness of branding in Malaysia and across the world, the APBF takes an active role in identifying and nurturing outstanding Malaysian brands on an international platform. The Foundation continuously champions its mission to educate and communicate the ‘value of branding’ – with Tunku Dato’ Seri Tan Sri Datuk Seri Tan Sri Dato’ Hamad Tan Sri Dato’ Sri Tan Sri Leong Professor Emeritus Tan Sri Dato’ Seri Shahabuddin Tunku the concept that brand culture, combined with good practices, will give Malaysia the edge, even against the Tony Fernandes,OBE Kama Piah bin Che Dr.
