Dear UCAM Members,

The MNZBC is pleased to announce that the MNZBC will be celebrating it's 15th Anniversary on Saturday, 18 August 2007 at the Shangri-La Hotel Kuala Lumpur.

Come and enjoy 3 international world class performers at the New Zealand Annual Dinner - Kahurangi, Eric Rush and Frankie Stevens.

Eric Rush is one of the best After Dinner Speakers in the world. He is very funny, inspirational and has a message that works with any audience.

He is a barrister, businessman, and one lady who had never been interested in rugby commented that Eric's address was "Riveting"!

Frankie Stevens is a world class entertainer, who has a strong voice similar to Tom Jones. He has performed throughout Europe, USA and the Far East.

He has performed with many international stars, and he has been a judge in the New Zealand Idol for 3 consecutive years. He also appeared in a James Bond movie, Matrix 2, etc.

Kahurangi - The Maori Dance Theatre of New Zealand.

We will also have Justin "Sambo" Sampson, the well ESPN/Star Sports TV Rugby Personality, who will be the Emcee for the evening.

We really hope that you will come and enjoy a great evening with us.


My kind regards,

MALAYSIA NEW ZEALAND BUSINESS COUNCIL
