WCIT 2008 Pak Lah’s tour of the hall
At least the one thing that every exhibitors look forward to is for Malaysia’s Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah bin Haji Ahmad Badawi to visit them.
On the Day 1 itself, we setup our booth as early as 7.30am, Pico is still doing some paint job and cleaning up the are until 10.00am. Unlucky me, my suit kena some paint. Got to send to the dobi and hopefully they can fix things up for me.
So here are some photos I manage to snap on Pak Lah.
My MD Yasmin Mahmood checking out the booth before the visit

Finally, PM is at Microsoft Malaysia’ booth with Yasmin doing some introduction

Pak Lah reading the card and his bodyguards look on. The bodyguards are in plain jacket, not so ’stylish’ compared to US Secret Service
The PM looks happy with the presentation
WCIT 2008: Day 1 from the Exhibition Hall
Unlike some lucky delegates, I wouldn’t have the chance to catch Bill Gates presenting via hologram. Today is another work day for me, but nevertheless I met some interesting people in the event.
Before that here is some shots on the exhibition hall
Dell, Fuji Xerox, TM, Redtone…
