It was a valuable event to business owners from both
countries. I personally found this trip enlightening and educational. Although I am not a BNI member,
I felt the warmth from all the participants of BNI.
Moreover, I got business contacts from Batam through this. Never regret
joining this delegation trip. Thank you for organising it.

On 6th – 7th May 2007, a business delegation group consisting
mainly of business owners and professionals from BNI Johor, a Business Referral
Organisation visited Batam Island to explore business opportunities together
with some of the local business owners there.
The event was jointly
organized by Mr. Andi M. Lutfi, the managing director of PT. Sumatera Promotion
Centre and Mr. Zhiwen Chin, the assistant director of BNI Johor. Gracing the
event were Mr. Jon Arizal, Head of Dept, of Industry, Trade & Cooperative of
the Riau Islands Province and Ms. Susan Choo, the regional director of BNI Johor
who also spoke on the topic of business networking. |
My original plan for the Batam trip is to get contacts for Indonesian pots,
natural stones, feature stones and timber crafting suppliers for my landscape
projects and retail outlets in Malaysia. l managed to get the supplier during
this JBBC trip. It may sound easy but before this l actually spent 6 years
trying different ways but no results. BNI helps me to make the 1st step to
connect to Indonesia successfully and safely! Thanks to BNI, especially our
Regional Director, Susan Choo and Assistant Director, Zhiwen Chin for all your
efforts to make this happened!
Last but not least, besides getting my
long awaited contacts from Indonesia, I also got an opportunity to supply
something back to them. They showed me around Batam snapping photos of some of
the things they wanted! Now, this is another opportunity for me to make money
which l've never thought of but was reminded by the Indonesian Supplier! l got
more than what l expected from this JBBC trip.
In BNI, EVERYTHING IS
POSSIBLE if we ACTIVELY PARTICIPATE in all BNI Activities.
