DUBAI, July 29 (Bernama) -- About 300 Malaysians converged on the Malaysian consulate here recently, to celebrate the birthday of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin.
A similar event was organised at the Malaysian Embassy in Abu Dhabi on June 12.
The Malaysian consul-general in Dubai, Syed Mohamad Hasrin Tengku Hussin, reminded those present that the monarchic institution was a symbol of unity for Malaysians.
He also took the opportunity to call on Malaysians in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to join the consulate in efforts to promote Malaysia among Emiratis, as well as companies operating in this Gulf nation.
"We should all be playing our role in helping our nation to face the global economic crisis," said Mohamad Hasrin.
The event was also attended by Malaysian Ambassador Datuk Yahaya Abdul Jabar and heads of Malaysian agencies based in the UAE.
