INTRODUCTION

Nowadays, Malaysia have many entrepreneurs. But I attract with these 5 fabulous entrepreneurs because everyone known about their product. Some of them have a bad experience before being a successful person. 

1. Noor Neelofa Mohd Noor

Noor Neelofa Mohd Noor is also a name that has got every tongue wagging since she made her career as an actress and model. She is better known by her stage name Neelofa or simply called Lofa by her family and friends. She is a Malaysian actress, television presenter, a commercial model and an entrepreneur. She is a winner of Dewi Remaja 2009/10 organised by the Malaysian teen magazine, Remaja. This Kelantanese fair skinned beauty is what you get when you combine beauty and brains. Known for her role in Suri hati Mr Pilot, she has also gotten a lot of attention for her business the Naelofar Hijab.

The Neelofar scarves that she sells come in a multitude of colours, all vibrant and sweet, and ranging from a plethora of designs. There is the Duchess collection, the Eva, the Glam Women, Lady Warda, Miss Charm and many more. In contrast to the also famous Duckscarves, the Neelofar is slightly more affordable to those who want a bit of glam but are shopping with a limited budget. Her Lady Warda collection only retails for RM73 and her Miss Charm coming in at only RM60. Her business has since taken off with tremendous success, catapulting her to become and even more wealthy woman with a line of to-die-for hijab. Due to her business success, Neelofa was named among 'Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia' in 2017.

2. Datin Vivy Yusof

Datin Vivy Yusof is an entrepreneur and the co-founder of FashionValet and The dUCk Group. Vivy is a blogging veteran of 10 years who has been sharing insights about her life and entrepreneurial journey through her personal blog, www.proudduck.com. She is the winner of the Young Entrepreneur Award from The Queen of Malaysia. This fair skinned beauty who hails from Selangor has made a name for herself as the founder of dUck, the headscarves that has taken Malaysia by storm.

Now a multi-million dollar company with 150 employees and carrying 500 fashion brands, FashionValet has offices and warehouses in Malaysia, Jakarta and Singapore, and ships parcels daily to customers all over the world. Duckscarves have become all the rage these days and they’re so incredibly popular that many young ladies out there have claimed of their willingness to spend over RM1K on her products alone. With vibrant and lively colours named after delicious food like Raspberry Cheesecake, Lemon Sorbet and Dark Cherry, her scarves have indeed becoming a booming business.

3. Dato’ Dr. Seri Hajjah Hasmizah Othman

Dato’ Dr. Hajjah Hasmizah Othman or better known of her glamour name Dato’ Seri Vida is another Muslimah who has made herself a renowned businesswoman and the face of her product the famous Pamoga Qu Puteh. With her ever popular tagline “Qu Puteh, Qu Puteh, Barulah Puteh”, her products sell over a 100, 000 bottles a month propelling her to become one of the wealthiest women in Malaysia.

Even when she was working as a mere school teacher at SJK (C) Poi Lam in Ipoh, she had already possessed that passionate fire to start up a business in her heart. She began by starting up a grooming and beauty course and then build her empire from there. Now, she is the owner of Vida Beauty Sdn Bhd and a true wealthy businesswoman to admire.

Hasmiza said the road to becoming a multimillionaire was filled with hurdles. While doing business, she had been sabotaged, cheated, slandered and while failure upon failure was experienced. The hardships, however, compared little to the pain she felt when she lost two of her four children in a fire three years ago. However, Hasmiza refused to be let down by the trials she endured. With hard work and tenacity, she wake up against the odds to become what she is today. Her material success can be measured by her RM22 million home in Ipoh, her 22 luxury homes, her more than 10 luxury cars and the jewellery that she is constantly adorned with.

4. Dato' Aliff Syukri

Being a husband and father at a young age and living in the city makes him need to find ways to increase his income. Every weekend, he will create a beauty and health workshop in both private and government workplaces. While diving drinking, that's what he's practicing when he also sells beauty and health products at the time of the workshop. Prices are also not expensive, ranging from RM5 to RM10 only. Through the workshops, he can generate up to RM3000 a month. After persistently selling products from various brands, he began to feel better selling his own products. So, he took drastic steps to produce his own product. All the savings available, he used to make his own brand of products. Though aware of the bankruptcy risk, but after a few months of research, his company, D 'Herbs Healthy Sdn. Bhd. successfully released the first collagen lipstick in Malaysia.

Now, the company has moved to a four-storey building with 35 staff members and has produced nearly 90 new product lines. In fact, his products are produced at his own factory, Aliff Herbs Manufacturing Sdn Bhd. D'Herbs has also become a brand that has gained momentum in the hearts of consumers in Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei by officially operating at Wisma D'Herbs in Kota Damansara. He is determined to make D 'Herbs Healthy one of the world's most famous cosmetics brands as well as neighboring countries and around the world.

5. Faridah Zakaria

Fareeda House of Scarf Managing Director, Mrs. Faridah Zakaria. She considers the failure in his previous business as a challenge and a prediction that will shape his life in the future. Her spirit never faded to rise again to success. Her determination to change the fate of his family made him always try and never know the meaning of desperation, and as a result, Fareeda House of Scarf was born into a dream for women today.

Fareeda House of Scarf now has more than 100 employees and 300 distributors who have successfully sold nearly 20,000 sheets per month, especially in Fareeda branches in Bangi, Selangor. Customers are willing to queue up for Fareeda hoods even if Fareeda's latest design edition is on the market as each design is limited to keep Fareeda's quality. Although the price of the Fareeda scarf looks quite expensive, with the starting price starting at around RM150 a piece, its rigid customer does not move to the other scarf brand as the fabric used to produce the Fareeda hijab is from high quality fabrics from abroad. This not only captures the customers, but also ensures that Fareeda can compete with other companies in Malaysia.

CONCLUSION

I attract to their spirit and never give up even many failure their had before. So, we should put the spirit into our life because everyone can be success.
