MIRI: JCI Miri demonstrated their strength and charisma at the recently concluded 2023 JCI Malaysia National Convention, where they not only won multiple awards, but also successfully secured the hosting rights for the 2025 Ten Outstanding Young Malaysians (TOYM) Awards.
JCI Miri president Candy Yong Chuen Tien said that the chapter had obtained the hosting rights for the 2025 TOYM Awards, and it would be the first time to hold this prestigious event here.
