MGBF Invites The Republic of Bangladesh

When it comes to making new friends, nobody should be left out, and we are proud to make new friends from The Republic of Bangladesh via our CEO, Mr Nordin Abdullah whom had the priviledge to meet H.E. Muhammad Faruk Khan, MP, the Honorable Minister of Commerce of the Republic of Bangladesh last Friday.

While it is a known fact that Malaysia and Bangladesh do share a lot of excellent business together for the past decade, we hugely feel that this relationship could be 'upgraded' to a whole new level via the MGBF which will be next November at Kuching, Sarawak.

Bangladesh is keen to seek new opportunities regarding labor supply to Malaysia considering they currently have a sizeble ammount of skilled and non-skilled workers at their disposal, while Malaysia can look into venturing towards construction and e-government implementation projects in developing Bangladesh.

The possible tie-up does not stop there as Sarawak, which will host of the 2nd MGBF stands to benefit from the possibility of exporting its infamous 'Ikan Terubuk Masin' or better known as 'Fried Fish' towards new markets in China and European countries through Bangladesh.  In fact, we feel that the potential that Malaysia, or in particular Sarawak has in fisheries and agriculture isn't reflected adequately by the number it exports, and so we are hoping that Bangladesh could work together with Malaysian based companies to bring this number up during the MGBF as they (Bangladesh) have a lot of expertise to offer in this two key sectors.

The way we see it, Bangladesh and Malaysia are both moving in the right direction when it comes to diplomatic ties, and we would like to seal that beautiful relationship by enhancing it through business opportunities available in both countries.  With that said, the MGBF extends its greatest hope that we would see the Republic of Bangladesh as one of the featured countries during the 2010 MGBF.  Maybe, if we can't help strike any immediate business ties between both countries, the very least would be having us sitting down together while enjoying the infamous fried 'Ikan Terubuk Masin' for lunch. =)  After all, part of business is about making new friends, and friends in the Malaysian 'un-official custom', MUST have lunch together.
