DOLE Asia
DOLE Asia Comes to Sarawak
One could have mistaken that Hilton Hotel must have been invaded by the banana trees when they saw the deco arranged for the symbolic ceremony of Dole Asia's collaboration arrangement with Sarawak through the local partners that is Sebiro Agrifood Sdn Bhd and the Land Custody & Development Authority.
The 'Planting of the First Seed' ceremony Ceremony was officiated by the YB Datuk Patinggi George Chan, the Deputy Chief Minister of Sarawak and also the Minister of Modernization of Agriculture in the afternoon.
The witnessing of the Signing Ceremony during the dinner event was witnessed by the Yang Amat Berhormat Pehin Seri Abdul Taib Mahmud, the Chief Minister of Sarawak

The Dinner
The dinner was equally a grand affair. The various people attending the dinner were wearing colourful suits and evening wear/gowns. The VVIP (Very Important People) were greeted with rosettes on arrival.

The ladies surely had fun that night
Prominent ladies that stood out during the dinner
If there is something to be learnt from the overall event, I would say it came mostly from the two sweet ladies of Dole Asia whom I met - Ms Mika & Miss Leah. The moment the afternoon started the ladies were on their walkie talkies non stop till almost midnight. It was like watching the United States President's Secret Service guarding the President - they made sure the event went smoothly. The walkie talkies were fully utilised.
Event coordinators: Ms. Mika and Ms. Leah
Posing with the Philippines ladies i-DOLEs :) while i had to represent the Sarawak Idol :)
So I believe there would be a long term relationship between DOLE Asia in Sarawak. I have to make sure of that :)
