A WOKINGHAM-based businessman received one of the highest accolades possible – a meeting with his home country’s prime minister.
Simon Suresh, who runs Malaysian food company OMalaysia, along with a second online company, Halal Street, last week attended a special reception for 200 Malaysians living in the UK. Held in Londo, he met YAB Dato Sri Ismail Sabri Bin Yaakob Malaysian Prime Minister.
The Hari Raya Celebration Ceremony was held at the Dorchester Hotel, London, and at it, Mr Suresh was able to share the work that OMalaysia was doing to promote Malaysian products over here.
“Building the Malaysia brand in the UK has been a long-time vision for me and I am delighted that OMalaysia is able to bring more of Malaysia to the UK,” Mr Suresh said.
The evening was attended by members of the diplomatic corps and representatives of British Malaysian Associations, who were joined by government departments and agencies, local businesses, schools and universities.
Malaysia’s unique culinary heritage was also celebrated by the event with an authentic menu including satay, rendang and sirap bandung.
The evening was rounded off with Malaysian Teh tarik, a hot milk tea.
