BEAM Artistes, a premium artiste management company in Singapore, and Universal Music Malaysia, the local arm of Universal Music Group (UMG), the world leader in music-based entertainment, have formed a first-of-its-kind partnership to bring about Manhunt Malaysia 2017 as part of BEAM’s focus to offer opportunities primarily in the entertainment and media industries for men. BEAM has made substantial investments in, and has developed a valuable identity for, the unique symbols and elements of Manhunt, that have achieved national and even regional acknowledgement and approval. These elements include but are not limited to recognizing and honouring the traits of honesty, good character, talent, fitness, sportsmanship, grooming, intellect, leadership and good judgement; and to serve as role models for other men with similar goals and personal characteristics. The competition is designed to combine a respect for traditional and historic foundations of the Program with recognition of prevailing modern tastes and values. Hence, to foster similar values and goals here in Malaysia, Universal Music Malaysia and BEAM are collaborating for the first time to organize Manhunt Malaysia 2017!
