MNRA Kuching get together on 19th- 20th August 2016

by Lau Phaih Yean

Our event started with a warm welcome by the Factory Manager En Razif and his team to Kuching factory on 19th August 2016. After a brief presentation, we visited the MAGGI® noodles plant and then the Nestlè ice cream plant.


The tour concluded with us tasting the freshly made ice cream, which tasted so good that each of us had 2 drumsticks, plus tea prepared by the team. It was the Retirees’s first visit – thank you Encik Razif and team for making us feel so welcome and although some of us just met, it was as if we have known each other for years – must be the Nestle family bonding!!



This time the outstation members stayed at Basaga Holiday Residences . It is a small beautiful hotel in Jalan Tabuan. I was told it was an old school converted into a boutique hotel. It has such nice and green surroundings, with old and beautiful trees providing agoos shades everywhere. In the evenings, the cool air surrounds the courtyard, swimming pool and open air restaurants. The good thing about it is it is so reasonably priced @RM106 per night per room. Check it out if you are ever in Kuching.




In the evening our President, Ms Leong Ming Chee, hosted a dinner for the Kuching team with Harrison’s manager Mr Matthew Sim and former mnager Mr Teo Ho Tee. It was a very nice dinner with great food and company. Although the dinner started off with us on one table and 3 other tables that we considered strangers, we ended up as friends. At the next table an uncle was celebrating his 70th birthday…even a birthday cake was shared with all of us.  All because we were all cheering Datuk  Lim Chong Wei who was playing against LinDan. For each point won by Datuk LCW, we cheered loudly. Sports really do unite all of us. 

The next day 20th August, our “meeting” started at 11:30am with Raymond informing us the passing of FPO Mathew Teng and a minute of silence for him.


Raymond announced that he is stepping down as chairman and a new chairman Lawrence Batin was elected with Bernard Sim as secretary.
  With the “election” over we were then treated with a  sumptuous lunch, ang pows for all, lucky draws and door gifts.  The door gifts and lucky draws were sponsored by  messrs Tong Ting Huat, Vincent Chong, Harrison’s and Nestlè.

We wish to extend our thanks to Nestlè  Branch Manager Mr  Dave Bawa,  Ms Ann Hii from the factory for attending our lunch  plus  Messrs Jason Chong from KK, Sylvester Lim  and Koh Dau Kwong from KL who flew in to support our event.     

      
Thank you Raymond and Lawrence for organising yet another enjoyable get - together and we wish the new team to continue to foster friendship amongst the Retirees.
