The Opening of Auction Exhibition by Sincerity International Auctioneer Pte. Ltd
Speech by Ng Wei Aik, the Political Secretary to Penang Chief Minister for the Opening of Auction Exhibition by Sincerity International Auctioneer Pte. Ltd on 22nd of August, 2008 in Traders Hotel, Georgetown, Penang:
I am honoured to be invited for the opening of auction exhibition organized by Sincerity International Auctioneer Pte. Ltd. This is in conjunction with the Sincerity International 2008 Autumn Exhibition Auction of Chinese Paintings, Ceramics and Curios to be held at the end of August in Singapore.
On behalf of Penang state government, I would like to record my deepest appreciation for Georgetown, the beautiful city of the Pearl of Orient to be identified as part of this promotional tour for the event. I think you have made a right choice for picking Georgetown as one of your destinations for promotion.
It is indeed another plus mark for Georgetown, together with Malacca, which were enlisted as UNESCO’s World Heritage Sites recently. According to UNESCO, both sites have been imbued with a multicultural heritage after more than five centuries of trading and cultural exchanges between East and West.
The Chinese paintings, ceramics and curios shall be constituted part of the cultural heritage. By putting up these exhibitory items in this city, it will not less than making our living culture or heritage become more alive. The effort of the organizer for this event should be commendable and I hope the public will appreciate by visiting this exhibition in these couple of days.
The Penang state under our new leadership hopes to be a regional hub for M.I.C.E., which stands for Meetings, Incentives, Conventions and Exhibitions, as there are currently no good M.I.C.E. facilities in northern Malaysia. We have identified few sites, including reclaimed land for the project. It will either be built under a private finance or public-private initiative.
This is in line with our eight key thrusts for promoting tourism in Penang. We hope that this project will be off the ground in two or three years and thus providing spin-off effects for various sectors, including the hospitality industry in the state. By then, I will strongly recommend the organizer for today’s event to organize another bigger scale of auction exhibition in one of these M.I.C.E. facilities.
By these few words, I would like to announce officially the opening of Auction exhibition by Sincerity International Auctioneer Pte. Ltd.
Thank you very much.
