Ahmadul Kobir, Kuala Lumpur: Two Bangladeshi academics and researchers have received the prestigious “Outstanding Professional Performance Award” at the Asia Success Summit 2026 in Kuala Lumpur, recognising their professional achievements and contributions to higher education and research.
Associate Professor Dr Mohammad Nazmul Hasan Majiz and Professor Dr A.K.M. Ahsanul Haque received the awards at a ceremony in the Malaysian capital on Saturday, August 8. Professionals from more than 10 Asian countries attended the summit.
The awardees were selected based on their professional excellence, leadership, achievements, competence and sustained contributions to their respective fields, according to the organisers.
The Asia Success Summit 2026 was organised at the initiative of organisers based in Indonesia, bringing together accomplished professionals from different Asian countries to recognise outstanding contributions across a range of disciplines.
Dr Majiz recognised for medical science and research
Associate Professor Dr Mohammad Nazmul Hasan Majiz is currently an academic in Medical Microbiology at the Graduate School of Medicine at Perdana University in Kuala Lumpur. He also serves as Deputy Director of the university’s Research Management Centre.
With professional experience spanning medical science, medical microbiology, higher education and research, Dr Majiz has contributed to both academic teaching and research management.
His current responsibilities involve supporting research activities alongside his academic role, giving him an opportunity to contribute to the development of medical education and research.
Professor Haque recognised for academic contributions
Professor Dr A.K.M. Ahsanul Haque is a Professor in the Department of Marketing at the Faculty of Economics and Management Sciences at the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM), Kuala Lumpur.
He was recognised for his long-standing contributions to higher education, research and the field of marketing.
His academic career has focused on teaching and research in marketing within the broader disciplines of economics and management sciences.
International recognition for Bangladeshi academics
The organisers said the summit seeks to highlight professionals from across Asia whose achievements and contributions have made an impact in their respective fields. The selection process focused on professional performance, leadership, achievements and sustained contributions.
The recognition of the two Bangladeshi academics has brought their work in Malaysian higher education and research into the international spotlight.
Although they work in different academic disciplines, Dr Majiz and Professor Haque share a common contribution to higher education and research in Malaysia. Their recognition at the same international platform also highlights the growing professional presence of Bangladeshi academics in the region.
Dr Majiz’s work centres on medical science, medical microbiology and research management, while Professor Haque specialises in marketing, higher education and academic research.
Their receipt of the Outstanding Professional Performance Award is therefore being seen as a notable achievement for Bangladesh’s academic community, particularly for Bangladeshi professionals contributing to education and research abroad.
The recognition also underscores the potential of Bangladeshi academics to make meaningful contributions to the wider international higher education and research community.
