Yeah, I am not kiasu… but I think, it’s better for me to update this post earlier than I should… So that I could do another post regarding other things…. heheheh By the way, I was enjoying my time so much during the press conference… I swear!! I enjoyed so much even with the ambassador and the Managing Director of Glenreagh Sdn. Bhd…
First of all, let me introduce to all who were the VIPs came… H.E Ensar Eminovic (Ambassador Bosnia-Herzegovina to Malaysia) and Nordin Abdullah ( Managing Director of Glenreagh Sdn. Bhd.)… And bloggers whom attended the informal conference were Annna, Georgette Tan,Fahriee, Rose Wong, Allen Ang, Norman Goh and few other whihc I forgotten their names… :P *sorry guys*
Anyway, the conference was awesome… With Cyril, Georgette, Norman and Annna asked lots of questions… And the ambassador answered in so much details… what a humble person! :P
So, what actually is about Bosnia?According to Mr. Ensar, Bosnia is in the the Europe country… which is now having tourism as the main industry for their country… He even recommended us to come over to Bosnia and experience it ourselves there…
Economically, Bosnia sees Malaysia as role model for developmental country… But in Malaysia, there are no organization to promote Bosnia… No organization to promote their food, tourism and others… According to Mr. Ensar, Bosnians food are influenced by Turkish, which sometimes is not good for health… But, he also said that, Malaysian would have a great business if they were to open a restaurant there in Bosnia… Because there is no Malaysian restaurant… so, when someone were about to open one, it will be a great business to them, as students from Malaysia are also in Bosnia…
Malaysia sends trainee for army and soldiers there to Bosnia… which is a good business for a restaurant… A very good chance for business people to come over and open up one restaurant specialist in Malaysian food… Other than that, Bosnia’s main industry now is tourism, but they are in the lack of hotels… So, it is great chances for people whom interested to have hotels business in Bosnia… it’s surely a great business…
For the time being, Bosnia have not start any direct flights to Malaysia… or Malaysia to Bosnia… According to Mr. Ensar, he used to have transit to Istanbul, Vietnam and German before he landed to Kuala Lumpur or Bosnia… and their airport are now having no capacities to accommodate huge aircraft.. I think they are now seeking for direct flight to Malaysia, and I think it’s worthily… Why?
Because, 80/90 Malaysian students are now in Bosnia… and Bosnia are currently looking for scholarship for Malaysian students whom are studying in Bosnia which are in medical and even arts… Bosnia also wants more Malaysian students in Bosnia… and as Bosnian parents, they are most likely prefer Malaysia as educational destination compared to other country…. Bosnian also celebrates Merdeka in Bosnia…
According to Mr. Ensar, banking in Bosnia are currently being conquered by Russian and other else as they are using the “marka” currency… They are no such thing like health tourism in Bosnia, as they are now having much more private clinics compared to government hospitals…
He even mentioned that the most famous legend in Bosnia are some sort of Romeo and Juliet legend… but it happened even before Shakespeare wrote the story… When he was asked about castles, he even said, they are few castles in Bosnia, and some of them are opens for tourism visits and even for educations….
The ineteresting part was, when he was asked about Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohammad chosen for all this… He said, Tun Dr. Mahathir is extremely famous in Bosnia for what he has done to Bosnians during wars and everything during his time… and that was why he chose Tun Dr. Mahathir for the Malaysia Global Business Forum-Bosnia…
Overall, I think, the press conference attended last night was awesome… I was a bit unwell, but I enjoyed it so much… with the attendance few other bloggers… and the very humble Ambassador himself, and also Mr. Nordin… it was truly awesome… all questions being answered… in a very polite way and so details without any hidden things…
I just hope, any of us could “poke-poke” them to bring us again for the Malaysia Global Business Forum-Bosnia on the 8-11th November 2009 at Borneo Convention Center Kuching, Sarawak… If no invitation from them, means no going… why? No money… The ticket is too pricey… which are RM980 for Delegate only package, RM1680 with five star hotel package, RM1480 with four stars hotel package and RM1280 for three stars hotel package… :P it’s pricey right? I cannot afford to go if they are not giving us the free pass as the media for the four days forum… *crossing-fingers* I hope what Mr. Nordin said will be fulfilled by himself… He said, we are confirmed to go as we are considered as media… and we could go by the media pass… And I really hope we could personally (like last night) meet Tun Dr. Mahathir if we were given the free pass as the media to this forum… :P
But anyways, I would love to thank to Cyril for bringing me along to this press conference… and Thanks to Miss Diong for inviting us… :P

I would like to thank all the Bloggers that came to the event, I did not expect such a good turn out and I was more than impressed by the questions and the level of interest shown by all, thats probably why we finished so late, I will make sure there is special access for all bloggers to the Malaysia Global Business Forum, I am thinking Bloggers need a special pass or something, will keep all updated, Nordin
