“I
know the people of Netherlands will appreciate the natural beauty of our
country. By participating in this colourful event with our own ‘Malaysia Truly
Asia’ float, we can give Dutch tourists a glimpse of the attractions that
Malaysia offers. The fact that this event will be broadcasted on national

millions of Dutch consumers,” said Dato’ Seri Mohamed Nazri.

the world.
Performers and marching bands were the added attractions to accompany the procession of the 17 beautifully decorated floats through the entire bulb-growing area.
