Light at the end ...........

For many of us, especially if we are in the midst of a dicey problem, we often use the words. "I hope there is a light at the end of the tunnel."

This is an interesting picture depicting that saying.

Worth a laugh at the innovative use of computer graphics and Photoshop capability.

Tradewinds Corporation Berhad AGM

Right now, I am certainly uncertain of the value of the hotel room vouchers they gave to shareholders this morning at their AGM. If these are gratis, then it's well worth attending the AGM. If not, they are just another marketing ploy and meant to have you spend more money. I think they are all not free stays and as such of dubious value. Not really friendly.

The registration of the TWS was at Hotel Istana. It was orderly. Everyone had either a cup or two of tea or coffee. Sadly, no accompaniment of cakes, cookies or sandwiches.Everyone was given a food box. I found the following in the box.

A bottle of mineral water,
A bottle of apple juice
2 muffins
An apple
A packet of cookies.
A packet of refined sugar

I would say Tradewinds could be more generous. As a hotel chain, as they claim, the largest in Malaysia managing the likes of the Hilton chain and Crowne Plaza Mutiara et al, they definitely could give shareholders a better breakfast spread and a sit down muhibbah lunch to boot.I guess the Corporate Communications Department guys are just not sensitive enough. They have forgotten they are in the hospitality industry!
