We make history this week!!!

I am very happy this week as we make history today as the 1st 'team' that flies hot air balloon over Putrajaya, Malaysia during our test flights for the timely event, the 1st Putrajaya Hot Air Balloon Fiesta 2009 that will be held on the 19 - 22 March 2009 at presint 2, Putrajaya.

Its timely for Malaysia to host such international unique event such as this to lure tourist and to mark a name in the eye of the world!

We still 'alone' financially as we still did not receive any funding whatsoever from the government even though this event will do so much for the country... why? hmmm... too long a story to explain but lets just focus on why Malaysia government should help us...

Reason no. 1: Credible Organisers!

We organising this as a joint venture effort with Malaysian Sport Aviation Federation (MSAF) and AKA Balloon Sdn Bhd

The Malaysian Sports Aviation Federation (MSAF) was formed on 31st May 2003 after discussion between Malaysian Industry-Government Group for High Technologies (MIGHT) and the Department of Civil Aviation Malaysia (DCA) to be a govern body to all sports aviation activities in Malaysia.

The membership of MSAF is open to all associations, clubs and companies registered in Malaysia who directly or indirectly involve in sports aviation activities.

The MSAF is registered with the Federation Aeronautical Internationale (FAI), the world body for sports aviation activities.

Reasons No. 2: Value Added Activity in Putrajaya!

Not many activities in Putrajaya!

Being the so-called one of the interesting sites in Malaysia, we should have more and lots more of quality international standards events to add value to the township.


Reason No. 3: Its a Unique and International Standard Event!

This is not just any event that you can compare with any other... ragatta, horses, concerts, etc

ITS A HOT AIR BALLOON EVENT.....


Reason No.4: to create avenue for malaysian entrepreneurs!

This kinda of unique event should not be missed by entrepreneurs to promote their product / services....

Imagine yr logo on the hot air balloons.... 2 effect... 1. good visibility 2. psychologically...damn good motivation impact to the entrepreneur himself...or herself:)

Note: MECD got 'program pengiklanan usahawan" some grants...check it out at www.mecd.gov.my


Reason No. 5: Too Obvious!

Its unique and great Lah....
