I was interviewed by Kye Lee of NST yesterday. The interview took place at the NST office in Jalan Riong.
Obviously the interview was on GEW - how it began, the role of the Host and Partners and how Malaysia did last year and some success stories.
The paper also wanted to know what the plans for this year were.
When it comes to the goals for 2009 - I said "to be the top country in the world, full stop" - a quote by the British High Commissioner, Boyd McCleary last year during the GEW launch.
We also talked about our first sponsors - Microsoft Bizpark, Senedi and the NST. We talked about other media coming forward such as Voize, Malaysian Today and Malaysian SME.
Media Prima Bhd is our Main Media Partner for GEW.
I also mentioned our potential tie-up with YEM.
The paper published the story today -8/8 : the day we are going to celebrate the 100 Day to GEW Countdown. We have a good story today though the entire story did not make it, due to space constraints, I believe.
I look forward to the next 100 days being meaningful - where partner organizations will organize various activities around the country to put Malaysia on the GEW map once again.
Thank you NST for the nice coverage.
Cheers
