Was at and Indian restaurant, Ashoka Restaurant, located in Itaewon's Hamilton Hotel this evening.
Our Malaysia's Menteri Perdagangan Dalam Negeri dan Hal Ehwal Pengguna, Datuk Shafie Apdalis in Seoul.
As such, the Malaysia Embassy organised a meeting between the minister and student. Due to the number of seats available, only 100 students were chosen, and I was one of the lucky ones.
The meeting was supposed to start at 4pm, but as usual he and his wife were late for about half an hour.They just came right from shopping.
In his speech, he spoke about the recent tsunami issues, that the department donated money to the MERCY team in Aceh. He said that as Indonesia is our close neighbor and that Aceh was one of the main factor that our country diidn't suffer much the tsunami caused by an 8km wide crack on the bottom of the sea. Unfortunate for Aceh but fortunate for us because if Aceh was not in the way the states of Kedah and Pinang would have suffered much etcetra etcetra.
Followed by his speech was the normal questioning session. Among some of the questions were consumer's right, doing business as a student and women's role in our country's economy and politics.
All in all it lasted an hour and ten minutes.
And after that was DINNER. Great food. I liked the fruit custard best.
Ate till our heart's content^^
