Kajang folk waiting in vain for change for six years

The Pakatan Selangor government is clearly inefficient as for the past six years they have failed to properly maintain their roads and to set up traffic lights at dangerous junctions. Not only that, they had even dared to push the blame to BN, and this has caused the people in Kajang to be severely affected by this, leaving them to wonder: “Why has nothing changed after six years?”

Official Launching & Balloting of 6th KLIGP 2014

The 6th KL International Gifts, Premium & Stationery 2014 Fair (KLIGP 2014) is Malaysia and perhaps even Southeast Asia’s BIGGEST gifts, premium and stationery showcase of its kind. Organized by the Malaysian Gifts & Premium Association (MGPA) , more than 400 exhibitors from Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, Brunei, the Philippines, Cambodia, Vietnam, Hong Kong and Taiwan are expected to participate in the KLIGP 2014.

The Official Launching & Balloting of the 6 th KLIGP 2014 shall be held on 11 th March this year, at the Tun Dr Ismail Hall of the Putra World Trade Centre (PWTC) . It is during this Launching, that the balloting for the booths shall also be cast.

Endorsed by the Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation (MATRADE) and supported by the Malaysian Retailer-Chains Association (MRCA), Federation of Textiles Garment and General Goods Malaysia, Branding Association of Malaysia, Singapore Gifts Association and Thai Gifts, Premium & Decorative Association, more than 12,000 visitors are also expected to throng Halls 1 and 2 of the Putra World Trade Centre (PWTC), over the KLIGP 2014’s 3-day period.

The KLIGP 2014 showcases industry players specializing in the gifts, premiums, stationery and supporting fields, and is aimed towards increasing the participation of international exhibitors, in organizing Southeast Asia’s largest and most diverse fair of its kind, under one roof.

Visitors can look forward to viewing the latest gifts and stationery products, including acrylic mementos, apparels and garments, crystal products, handicrafts, IT and electronic products, laser engraving services and indeed, many more. In fact, virtually anything and everything that falls under the “gifts, premiums and stationery” category will be showcased at the KLIGP 2014.

Staying true to the tradition of featuring gift-centric themes, this year’s KLIGP is aptly themed “ All About Gifts ”. The KLIGP 2014 shall also feature the following side-events and attractions, in spurring the gifts, premium and stationery industry to even greater heights:
  • Promotional Product Design Award
  • Best Booth Design Contest
  • Exhibitors’ Networking Night
  • Innovation & Creative Display Corner
  • The “CLICK” Gifts, Premium & Stationery Buyers’ Guide 2014
One of the main features of the KLIGP 2014 is that it will be `digitalized’, via IT utilization. For starters, the MGPA will be introducing a mobile app that enables online registration, as well as QR codes that serve as entry passes to the KLIGP. This will automatically eliminate the need for tedious manual registration. The mobile app to be introduced will also display the location and details of individual booths via search engines.
