* just realised that I didn’t post our Annual Dinner 2009 photos, so here are there *

Our Annual Dinner 2009 was held at Hilton Kuala Lumpur on 19th December 2008. We had it earlier at the end of 2008 due to Chinese New Year 2009 was fell earlier in January 2009.

Due to the fact that I can’t speak in public, I have to write down my speech in a small piece of paper and “read” it at our annual dinner every year. Also, despite of the fact that I can’t write, I insist to write my own speech every year in a very short and simple way.

My Speech 2009

Good evening, ladies and gentleman. On behalf of Everest Group of Companies, I would like to thank you all for your kind attendance.

First of all, I would like to announce a good news. On recent announced Deloitte Technology Fast Five Hundred Asia Pacific Awards, our company ranked number 184 in Asia Pacific and number 2 in Malaysia.

Deloitte Fast Five Hundred is a ranking of the 500 fastest growing technology companies in Asia Pacific. Rankings are based on percentage revenue growth over past three years.

Early of this year, I had announced that our group had achieved a turnover of 23 millions Ringgit Malaysia for the year 2007. This year… we recorded a higher amount of turnover, that’s 36 millions Ringgit Malaysia or about 50% growth compared to last year. We are looking forward for another greater success in year 2009.

To end this speech, we would like to take this opportunity to thank all our partners, telcos, suppliers, customers, doctors, agents for supporting us all the while. And also I would like to thank each and every one of our employees for your commitment and hard work throughout the years.

Thank you and have a great evening.

各位先生女士，

大家晚上好，感谢大家抽出宝贵的时间出席我们今天的晚宴。

首先，我要向大家宣布一个好消息，在刚公布的德勤高科技高成长500强亚太区中，我们公司在亚太区排名第184及马来西亚区排名第2。德勤500强是按照亚太区资讯科技行业在过去3年增长幅度的一项排名。

今年初，我告诉大家我们在2007年创下2千300万令吉的总营业额，今年，我们再次创下新高，那就是3千600令吉的总营业额，或大约50%的成长率。我们展望在2009年再次取得高成长率。

在此，我们要借此机会感谢我们的生意伙伴、电讯公司、供应商、客户、医生、广告员等等在这年内给我们最大的支持与协助。另外。我也要特别感谢我们每一位同事这些年来不断的为公司付出和努力。

谢谢大家。

* looking forward for our Annual Dinner 2010 on this coming Friday, I’ll announce a new figure *
