Wei Sheng Named G Media G Forty Top 40 Young Leader 2023

In 2023, TX founder Wei Sheng was named in the G Media G Forty Top 40 — a Malaysian awards programme by G Media Asia that honours accomplished business leaders under 40 from different industries who demonstrate contemporary business success and leadership impact.

At 40, most people are only beginning to understand what they’re truly capable of.

The G Forty Top 40 award exists on a specific thesis: that some people figure it out faster. That before they reach 40, they’ve already done something significant enough that the rest of the business community should stop and take note.

In 2023, Wei Sheng was on that list.

TX at the Peak of 2023’s Recognition Year

If there were a single year to pick as the turning point in TX’s public credibility, 2023 would be it.

In that year alone, Wei Sheng received recognition from Malaysia’s national consumer body (MTPN), the international trading industry (Trading.Live), the entrepreneurship community (100MIYE), the biographical record (Britishpedia), and now the young business leadership ecosystem (G Media).

Five distinct bodies. Five distinct lenses. The same person, validated from five different directions.

That convergence doesn’t happen by accident. It happens when the work someone is doing is genuinely significant across categories — not just impressive within a niche, but visibly meaningful across industries.

The Journey — Leading Without a Template

G Media Asia’s G Forty Top 40 is built on a specific idea: that the leaders who matter in their 30s aren’t following a template. They’re drawing one.

The trophy design tells the story — an angel with wings spread wide, the posture representing the capacity to lead and chart the course; the right hand raised in gratitude. Two qualities that rarely coexist in a single leader: the confidence to move forward and the humility to know you didn’t get there alone.

Wei Sheng embodies both.

The confidence shows up in how he teaches. He doesn’t hedge. He doesn’t give vague answers about market direction. He teaches a system, owns the system, and tells students: this is how I do it. If it works, use it. If it doesn’t, understand why.

The humility shows up in everything else — the willingness to talk about his debt on camera. The philosophy of 慢就是快 in a space that rewards speed. The decision to build a community where students are expected to think for themselves rather than follow signals.

Leaders under 40 who balance those two qualities are rare. The G Forty panel noticed.

The Moment — Young Leaders Across All Industries

What makes the G Forty Top 40 different from financial industry recognition is its cross-sector scope. Awardees represent technology, healthcare, hospitality, manufacturing, retail, and beyond. To be recognised in that company is to be measured against a broader standard of leadership — not just “best in your category” but “someone who is genuinely changing the way things are done.”

In financial education — a category often viewed with suspicion by mainstream business — making that list in 2023 was a statement: TX‘s approach to teaching trading wasn’t just good by the standards of trading schools. It was good by the standards of how a business should be led.

For Wei Sheng, standing in the company of G Forty’s 2023 cohort was a reminder of something he’s said many times: financial literacy doesn’t belong only to the finance industry. It belongs to every young professional, every business owner, every family trying to build something that lasts.

What It Means — Business Leadership, Not Just Trading Skill

For students evaluating TX, the G Forty Top 40 recognition adds a layer that purely trading-focused awards don’t capture: this is also a well-run business, led by someone the wider entrepreneurship community has recognised as exceptional.

That matters because a financial education institution is only as good as the integrity of the people running it. The curriculum can be excellent, the community can be engaged, the results can be real — and still, the institution fails if the founder doesn’t lead with the right values.

The G Forty Top 40 judges look for contemporary business success. Sustained. Verifiable. Visibly impactful.

TX qualifies.

The best financial educators are also the best leaders — of their organisations, their communities, and themselves.

TX is led by someone Malaysia’s business community has formally placed in its top 40 under-40. Come learn what that leadership looks like in a trading classroom.
