PERAK YOUTH FRIENDSHIP TOUR - KUNMING, YUNNAN






Perak State Youth Council has decided to visit either Cheingmai, Thailand or Kunming, China. I was appointed the coordinator and organizer for the tour during the Perak State Youth Council EXCO meeting recently. My immediate action is e-mail to the Malaysia Embassy in Bangkok, Thailand and Malaysia Consulate General in Kunming.

I received immediate respond from the Malaysia Embassy in Bangkok. The Second Secretary of the Embassy would assist us, however, they have no contact with youth organizations in Cheingmai. I try to liaise with youth organizations in Cheingmai and Bangkok. The respond are good. A few youth clubs in Cheingmai responded. The Cheingmai Youth Hostel agreed to assist us in transportation and lodging. Few youth organizations has no problem to accept us but they could not arrange other activities with other youth organizations.

The respond from Malaysia Consulate General office came a few weeks later. This may due to the official visit by the Prime Minister of Malaysia to Beijing during this period. The Consulate General office agreed to made arrangement on our behalf with the youth organizations in Kunming, Yunnan.

I am very much appreciate the commitment and generosity of the Consulate General, Tuan Roseli Abdul.

The Yunnan Youth Federation and Kunming Youth Union agreed to accept us as their guest.
