WCIT 2008 Pak Lah’s tour of the hall

At least the one thing that every exhibitors look forward to is for Malaysia’s Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah bin Haji Ahmad Badawi to visit them.

On the Day 1 itself, we setup our booth as early as 7.30am, Pico is still doing some paint job and cleaning up the are until 10.00am. Unlucky me, my suit kena some paint. Got to send to the dobi and hopefully they can fix things up for me.

So here are some photos I manage to snap on Pak Lah.

Finally, PM is at Microsoft Malaysia’ booth with Yasmin doing some introduction

The PM looks happy with the presentation

WCIT 2008: Day 1 from the Exhibition Hall

Unlike some lucky delegates, I wouldn’t have the chance to catch Bill Gates presenting via hologram. Today is another work day for me, but nevertheless I met some interesting people in the event.

Before that here is some shots on the exhibition hall

Dell, Fuji Xerox, TM, Redtone…

Shots from the top
