Malaysian Book Of Records

A Brief Background

The Malaysia Book Of Records is a noble project of national interest that complements our Prime Minister, YAB Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir Bin Mohamad's call for the campaign, 'MALAYSIA BOLEH'

It is a project with the concept created in line with the governments's call to private sectors to play its role in nation building towards Vision 2020. This unorthodox idea formed in 1990 when Datuk Danny Ooi, the Founder of The Malaysia Book of Records, stumbled upon a few questions regarding extraordinary feats set by Malaysian. Realising that these feats and attempts could be recorded, Datuk Danny Ooi felt it was time that proper recognition should be given to such aspiration, effort and determination exhibited by Malaysian.As the National Record-Keeper, MBR is an official body that recognises record-holders, record-breakers, and record creators in the couuntry. Upon confirmation of record, the MBR will issue certificates to them, as a recognition for their efforts.
