Ezcape Travel Tech organised the "From Malaysia to the World" programme on September 17, 2026, at The Westin Kuala Lumpur to bring together entrepreneurs, industry players, and business partners from Malaysia and abroad.
Malaysian entrepreneur and international trade professional Datuk Dr Zairita Azlin was in the spotlight as her book, "She Chose to Rise," was the main focus of the event.
Recently, she marked a significant milestone on the international stage after being crowned “She For The Nation – Season 2” at the prestigious Prime Minister’s Residence (Temple Trees), Colombo, Sri Lanka. She is the first Malaysian to get the award.
And on Sept 17, she went a step further with her own book, which chronicles her path to success.
For the record, Zairita is a Malaysian business leader, entrepreneur and international trade professional whose work encompasses business development, entrepreneurship, international partnerships and women's empowerment. She is also an author of a book regarding her career and the professional journey that reflects a commitment to building meaningful international relationships, creating opportunities and contributing to stronger connections between Malaysia and the global business community.
"This book is not about me. But this book is for all women in this country and also South-East Asia. There are many single mothers (including myself) in this region, and we have gone through so many issues and hardships in our lives. This book is especially for us single mothers, and it encourages all women never to give up and always be ready to fight for a better life," said Zairita.
The launch of the book, which also received words of encouragement from former Malaysian Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamed, is set to go on sale on Amazon.
Meanwhile, the event, based on the aspiration of "Connecting Businesses • Building Partnerships • Expanding Horizons," this programme aims to provide participants with the opportunity to expand their professional networks, exchange views, and explore potential collaborations across markets.
Through meetings and direct interactions, participants have the opportunity to introduce their businesses, understand the needs of potential partners, and build relationships that can be developed after the program concludes.
"From Malaysia to the World" reflects the desire to help Malaysian entrepreneurs and companies build relationships beyond the local market. This program emphasises the importance of meaningful networking as a first step to exploring international business opportunities.
This event also provides an opportunity for international participants to explore potential collaborations with the Malaysian business community, while encouraging the sharing of experiences and ideas among participants from various backgrounds.
This programme also witnessed the launch of two books -- "She Chose to Rise" and "The Unstoppable Millionaire" -- which was also among the highlights at the venue.
The combination of business networking sessions and the book launch adds a dimension of knowledge sharing and inspiration to the programme, while also providing a space for participants to interact and exchange perspectives.
The event was further enlivened by cultural performances that highlighted Malaysia's identity in an international meeting atmosphere.
