NATIONAL DAY MESSAGE FROM THE CONSUL GENERAL OF MALAYSIA IN HONG KONG SAR 2012

JILID KUMINDING, Consul General

On this auspicious occasion of Malaysia’s National Day, it gives me great pleasure to join all Malaysians in Hong Kong SAR in sharing our joy and happiness with our Hong Kong friends.

This year marks the 55th anniversary of our National Day which was founded on 31st of August 1957.

May I take this opportunity to express our heartfelt gratitude and appreciation to the Government and the people of Hong Kong for the warm hospitality and continued support extended to the Consulate General which enable us to perform and execute all tasks and duties successfully in this vibrant city.

Malaysia and Hong Kong continue to enjoy excellent bilateral relations in all areas. This relationship has been cemented with growing bilateral trade which reached USD15 billion in 2011 and ranked Hong Kong as Malaysia’s top 10 biggest trading partner.

I am optimistic that our two places’ long standing ties in trade and investment, tourism and education, can be further expanded and diversified through partnerships between the public and private sectors.

I am also proud to note that a big number of Malaysian professionals and business circles are presently residing in Hong Kong, and have contributed positively to Hong Kong’s development and progress.

I look forward to a prosperous people to people relationship. My best wishes for a continuing bright future and excellent relations between Malaysia and Hong Kong SAR.

馬來西亞駐香港總領事紀禮‧古明汀獻辭

在馬來西亞國慶日這喜悅的日子，本人樂於與居於香港的馬來西亞人一起，與香港的朋友們分享我們的喜悅和幸福。

我國成立於一九五七年八月三十一日，今年是五十五周年國慶。

本人藉此機會，謹向香港政府和人民致以衷心的感謝。正因他們的熱情款待和對總領事館所作出的不斷支持，使我們在這充滿活力的城市能成功地履行和執行所有的職責和任務。

馬來西亞與香港在各個領域均享有良好的雙邊關係，而這種關係鞏固了兩地雙邊貿易的增長，在二零一一年，金額已達一百五十億美元，使香港成為馬來西亞第十大貿易夥伴。

本人對我們兩地在貿易與投資、旅遊和教育等的長久連繫，通過公營和私營夥伴的合作從而得到進一步擴展和多元化是感到樂觀的。本人並自豪地注意到有一定數量的馬來西亞專業人士和商界人士現正在香港居住，他們對香港的發展和進步作出積極的貢獻！

本人期待興盛的人民與人民的關係，並對馬來西亞與香港特別行政區持續的美好未來和良好關係致以最良好的祝願。
