Having first featured  our Connectors – a group of people using the social landscape of the 21st century to connect and inspire, we then focused on our Creators – a group of entrepreneurs creating a better world, before – now – closing out our inaugural Generation T list with six influential Malaysian youths, looking to empower others towards a brighter future.

The sextuplet that made up the final group, aptly named ‘Empower,’ gathered due to a single commonality—their drive to excel forward in order to reach greater heights of success. We celebrate this undeniable drive, this spark, because it in turn empowers others to follow in their footsteps in attempts to better themselves.
