and finally it begins...

SO the eye has spoken. KL-ites were treated to a magical affair last night as Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi launched the Visit Malaysia Year 2007 at the Titiwangsa Lake Gardens. A big affair, causing major traffic eveywhere pretty much sums up the event. Fireworks were at its best as people who were, at first awed with it, started wondering how much of tax payers money did the current administration spent.

Also, the 'Eye On Malaysia' was launched. Standing at 60m with 42 gondolas capable of eight persons per gondola, its tickets are priced at RM15 each (adult).
The night saw Badawi standing to his feet, clapping his hands to the tunes of Anita Sarawak. The event was projected to homes via RTM1 and was also telecasted live over 10 different countries- Japan, Australia, China and New Zealand to name a few.

Let's see what great hosts we becometh as toursits are expected to come in throughout the whole year. And let's wait and see if all this- the RM30million wheel, costs of the launch, preparastions for the 50th year of Merdeka and etc- are all well spent.
