PERAK YOUTH FRIENDSHIP TOUR TO KUNMING, YUNNAN




Upon receiving the good news from the Malaysia Consulate General, my immediate respond is to check on air fare. The generous Malaysia Consulate General agreed to arrange the lodging and transportation for us.

I e-mail to Thai Airways in Kuala Lumpur and Malaysia Airline [MAS] - Government and Student Transportation Department. Their respond is prompt. MAS offered RM900 on air-fare and Thai Airways offered RM600 (both ex-taxes). Thai Airways also assist us in the connecting flight from KLIA - Kunming via Bangkok and vice-visa. The transit time in Bangkok is short. We don't mind with the transit time as it save us about RM300 per person. Therefore I suggested to take the Thai Airways.


Arrangement has been made with the China Embassy in Kuala Lumpur for Visa application.

At the same time, I was told that the Consulate General, Tuan Roseli Abdul will be back to his hometown in Gopeng for holidays.

The Perak State Youth Council Chairman - Hang Tuah Din, Secretary - Hasnul, secretariat staff - Rozidi and myself met the Consulate General for lunch in Heritage Hotel on 3 July, 2009. We discuss on the activities and schedule dates. It is a fruitful discussion.
