Another year and another Flag Raising Ceremony and the Malaysians are pretty ridgid about celebrating it – Jalur Gemilang. 2016 sees the 59th National Day and still going strong! At the ceremony was:
The Ambassador of course; H.E. Dato Ahmad Shahizan Abd Samad always has the Malaysian community around him plus he invites lots of guests from all walks. That would be other Ambassadors, Hotel Managers and the media. Earlier in the year, the Bahrain Malaysian Business and Friendship society was launched and its President Shaikh Daij Bin Isa Al Khalifa was present as can be seen in the video. It is not a big lavish affair, more a sort of afternoon tea with the cutting of the cake. Nice atmostphere all round.
One other thing that Dato Ahmad used the ocassion for was to launch his latest soirée into the social media as such and that’s the inaugural issue of ‘Manama Connects’ – just another little job he wanted to do before he retires shortly. (A very active man indeed).
