know the people of Netherlands will appreciate the natural beauty of our
country. By participating in this colourful event with our own ‘Malaysia Truly

Malaysia offers. The fact that this event will be broadcasted on national

with row upon row of colourful blooms, attracting millions of fans from around
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.
