As a follow-up to Minister Mustapa Mohamad, Malaysian Minister for International Trade and Industry's visit in early October, MIDA sent a team of experts from its headquarters to meet local Queensland businesses looking at investing in Malaysia. The team were accompanied by Consul Khairuddin, Director MIDA for Australia and the Pacfic, who came up from Sydney to meet them, as well as our own AMBCQ President, Kiong Chan. The group arrived on Sunday night and have met with a number of businesses over the last few days in Brisbane and on the Gold Coast. Consul Khairuddin and the team will be flying on to Sydney this evening to do more follow-up meetings in Sydney.
The AMBCQ hosted a networking dinner event with the group on Monday evening, at the Blue Gulabi, owned by our AMBCQ member and supporter, Gomerthy Chendi. Gomerthy and her staff put on a wonderful Malaysian inspired dinner, with curry, rendang, pickle, and other dishes. Many members and supporters were very keen to talk to and connect with the team, and we had a good turn out of over 30 people. Thank you to all those who supported the event. Given that it is so close to the Christmas season, and there are many other commitments and demands on everyone's time, it was great to have this strong turnout for our Malaysian guests, and also help raise some money for the AMBCQ coffers.
Thank you very much to Kiong and Consul Khairuddin for doing the groundwork to prepare these meetings, and also many thanks to Gomerthy for putting on such a great dinner at very short notice.
