His Majesty Seri Paduka Baginda Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Wathiqu Billah Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin Ibni Al-Marhum Sultan Mahmud Al-Muktafi Billah Shah paid his visit at WCIT during the second day of the second. Like the Prime Minister’s visit he went through and inspected the booths at the exhibition 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.

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
