Tan Sri Limkokwing is one of Asia's most well-known communications strategists. He built his campaigns on meaningful messages, like the Anti-Piracy Campaign: Because so much of creativity is about ideas, copyright - the protection of ideas - is an important issue. Without it, creative people have few means of financial support. Pirated goods, while cheaper, cannot be encouraged on principle.

The advertisements were produced for the Ministry of Domestic Trade & Consumer Affairs to remind Malaysians about the long arm of the law on copyright infringement: that the next time we enjoy a movie, it should be a genuine article.

Tan Sri Limkokwing’s philanthropic journey started with the Malaysian Red Crescent Society in the late 60s, which saw him help build settlements for ‘Vietnamese boat people’ in Malaysia following the fall of Saigon in the mid-70s. He was the Malaysia Red Crescent’s Vice Chairman and used to be international Advisor to the World Red Cross Society.
