Happy New Year Malaysia !

To all friends,


A very happy, healthy and prosperous New Year !


When the clock strikes twelve, people all over the world cheer and wish each other a very Happy New Year. For some, this event is no more than a change of a calendar. For others, the New Year symbolizes the beginning of a better tomorrow. So, if you look forward to a good year ahead, resolve to make at least one person happy every day, and then in ten years you may have made three thousand, six hundred and fifty persons happy, or brightened a small town by your contribution to the fund of general enjoyment.

The year 2007 will be memorable for visitors to Malaysia. The nation has called 2007 Visit Malaysia Year in an effort to promote the country as a leading holiday destination.

The year coincides with the 50th anniversary of Malaysia’s independence.

The official launching of Visit Malaysia Year 2007 will take place on Jan. 6 during a colorful gala in Taman Tasik Titiwangsa in Kuala Lumpur. Prime Minister Dato’ Seri Abdullah Bin Haji Ahmad Badawi will be present.

The festivities will include a concert, a fireworks display and a laser show near the lake. A giant screen will be set up to show scenes from Malaysia’s past.

The highlight of the Visit Malaysia Year 2007 launch event will be the unveiling of a 60-meter-tall Ferris wheel, dubbed ``Eye on Malaysia.’’ It will be the first such structure in Southeast Asia.

The 45-minute ride on the wheel will provide a view of the Kuala Lumpur skyline. On a clear day, passengers of the wheel will be able to see the KL Tower and as far as 20 kilometers, promoters said.

Through the Visit Malaysia Year 2007 campaign, the country expects to attract 20.1 million tourists. The number of visitors in 2005 was 16.4 million.

``The Visit Malaysia Year 2007 is the third in a series _ the first in 1990 and the second in 1994. I’m confident it will surpass the successes of the previous campaigns. This is due to the meticulous planning and innovative tourism products lined up for the 20.1 million visitors expected to descend upon our shores,’’ said Minister of Tourism Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor at a recent press briefing.

``We welcome tourists from all over the world to come and see and experience for themselves how people of diverse cultures, races and religions live in harmony as a nation.’’
