To qualify for Malaysia most valuable brands, a brand has to be public listed, or own by a company that is listed and must originated from Malaysia.

The most valuable evaluation includes financial analysis which forecast current and future earning; brand analysis, which measures how the brand influences customers at the point of purchase; and brand strength analysis, which determine a brand's ability to secure on going customer demand, such as loyalty, repurchase and retention.

Also congrats to Public Bank being awarded the Malaysia's most valuable brand. According to the managing director of Public Bank, Tan Sri Tay Ah Lek: "Malaysians trust Public Bank because of its solid financial position, prudent management and superior and long tack of record of financial performance.
