Visit the Malaysia Showcase tomorrow. Where? At the ICC.. You've seen the Consumer Fair before and imagine this expo but on a smaller scale, exhibiting Malaysian products and services. There will be around 80-90 booths participating in the first ever Malaysia Showcase. What can you expect? Well, definitely Tourism Malaysia (lots and lots of prizes and special promotion especially for the F!1), investments and health care (which is a growing industry in Malaysia).
Yesterday a press conference was held at the Malaysian Hi-Com hosted by the Malasian High Commissioner Dato Ku Jaafar Ku Shaari. He highlighted that Malaysian SMEs have participated in a lot of exhibition before but the great thing about the upcoming Malaysia Showcase is that it's very focused because it's all about Malaysian products and services.
He sees a strong relationship between Brunei and Malaysia and this is one valid reason why the showcase will be a success. He did raise a good point that sometimes both parties take each other for granted without realising the potential benefits in business and consumerism. Who knows we will see more Malaysian companies venturing into Brunei and contribute to the local economy.
William Ng, the Managing Director of Eventneka, believes the showcase will be a success and he hopes to bring the exhibition to Jakarta and other regional places. He chose Brunei as the first stop because Brunei has been very supportive to Malaysia and the track record of tourists to Malaysia speaks for itself.
So guys, the dates for the Malaysia Showcase is 5th to 7th March at the ICC. Do check out the exhibition. And those traveling to Malaysia, do visit Tourism Malaysia and Malaysia Airlines as they are having great fares and prizes to be won as well.

Give Navara a try. Why? Because it's damn rugged. The media had a test drive a couple of weeks ago at Tungku Link Beach and this machine has got what it takes on different terrains. Two weeks ago, the Nissan Navara was launched at Boustead Showroom in Beribi and it was officially launched by Boustead MD Dato Paduka Lim Beng Thai.
To give more blessing for the ceremony, they had a lion dance performance by the Chung Hwa Middle School. Anyway, do drop by the Boustead Showroom and you'll be amazed by the price which is at BN 36,000. This is a big contender to the current Hilux that you have seen on the road. Expect the Nissan Navara to make an impact in Brunei Darussalam.

I can tell you it's pretty tiring to be a performer

Torrance, Woosnam, Lyle favourites. The Aberdeen Brunei Senior Masters is about to kick off tomorrow and we have top names like Sam Torrance, Ian Woosman and Sandy Lyle playing in the tournament but for Torrance, he has been in Brunei a few times already and perhaps he has an advantage. He loves the golf course and the Empire Hotel too. He hopes to win the tournament this weekend. When asked on the Tiger Woods' situation, he declined to comment. Good luck, Sam.
As for Woosman, it was his first time playing at the par 71 Jack Nicklaus designed course. He couldn't say much about the course just yet and he was still acclimatising to the our humid weather. But he is wary of his opponents such as Sam and Sandy. Woosman will be competing in the pro-am this morning as a practice round for the big event. We shall see how they fair on the first round which kicks off tomorrow.
Yesterday Torrance and Woosnam were invited to play blindfolded to raise awareness for the International Blind Golf Association and it was organised by one of the event sponsors, International Sports Promotion Society. According to Torrance, "It's fantastic that blind people can play golf and they need a lot of trust in their wife or caddy."
