Last Thursday 12th March 2009, we had the biggest event involving the government exco and also the press. This event is big, we had to prepare earlier including some proposal paper, bulletin, presentations, udang galah BBQ events, catering and also harvest during the visit.

The main man here is:
Pengerusi Jawatankuasa Bertindak Pertanian, Industri Asas Tani, Pembangunan Usahawan dan Koperasi Negeri Sembilan - Datuk Yunus Rahmat

Pengerusi Jawatankuasa Bertindak Pembangunan Modal Insan, Belia dan Sukan Negeri Sembilan - Abdul Samad Ibrahim

Pengarah Jabatan Perikanan Negeri Sembilan - Wan Muhammad Aznan Abdullah

Pengarah Jabatan Pertanian Negeri Sembilan - Zabidi Dun

Other than that, few members of the said department, Agro Bank, TEKUN members, MARDI officers, Jabatan Veterinar Negeri Sembilan officers and also press from Sinar Harian and Utusan Malaysia. A total of 36+ people visit our farm at the same time.

OK, here's the itinerary for that day:
1) Introduction by Jabatan Perikanan
2) Doa by local Imam/ Head of Kg Ulu Bendul
3) Intro and presentation by TrueAqua (En Fadzil bin Zainun - JAY)
4) Intro by Pengarah Jabatan Perikanan
5) Harvest by TrueAqua
6) Press Conference

Alhamdulillah!! After a long day and sleepless night, finally we are all happy and able to have our lunch but without the BBQ prawns!! Dah kena sebat awal2 beb!!! Laku giler!!

As a conclusion, all visitors were very impressed with us and admits that udang galah business is very promising. Datuk Yunus Rahmat especially, is amazed by us the 4 graduates who pursue our dreams into this business which is totally unparallel with our academic background. Hopefully, with this kind of exposure, with bring us more opportunity to work with the government, universities and private bodies. Also, more exposure (due to the press) means more business. Amin
