21/10/2008 : The Soft Launch !!!






o









The Minister was happy to see so many entrepreneurs who have come together to organize so many activities and to start a dialogue during the Global Entrepreneurship Week.

As its norm in any event of this nature, the host gives a speech first, followed by the VIP and then the launch.

So, I gave a short speech - welcoming the Minister to be part of the Week and thanked him for agreeing to soft launch the Week, thanked Datuk Ahmad for helping us get the Minister there and getting him interested in "the Week".

Datuk Ahmad also helped us edit all the press releases. An ex-senior editor, he has a sharp eye for any editorial content.

In my speech, I gave an overview of Warisan Global and her business and explained the idea of the Global Entrepreneurship Week, how the world is participating, what Malaysia is doing to put itself on the map. I also thanked all partners and sponsors.

The Minister then gave his speech - he said he was extremely happy with the plans thats taking shape and gave his Ministry's "full support" for the Week.

He even said he will get all his agencies to be Partner and also wanted to be prominently placed as "Supporting Partner". We have no problems with that. He said he is in full support of the efforts of Warisan Global and will continue to partner us to ensure not only GEW becomes a success but also other entrepreneurship programs in the country.

The Minister then launched the Week by Signing on the Partner Circle !

We all then adjourned for the Press Conference...
