In conjunction with the Visit Malaysia Year 2007, Malaysia Tourism Board invited over 190 journalists from all over the world to witness the opening of Floral Festival 2007.

As for Hock Chuan, I guess the time has came for you to do a comeback to Malaysia for a brief PR stunt with Malaysia Tourism Board? I guess they are in dire need of your service at this point of time, really.
