THE quality of the Star Outstanding Business Awards (SOBA) 2023 submissions and presentations have improved considerably and it has become increasingly difficult to judge the top winners in the awards.This observation was made by top judges during the final round of judging on Feb 5 at Menara Star, Petaling Jaya.

Judges will be deciding winners for the Malaysian Business of the Year (MBOTY) award, which is the top award in SOBA that is presented in two separate sales turnover tiers: one up to RM25mil and the other, RM25mil and above, as well as the Elite Entrepreneur of the Year (EEOTY) award.
