MIRC Penang ICT Week is back again! The event took place from 26th Aug to 28 Aug under the signboard of the event venue, Suntech Tower – the latest and spectacular landmark in Penang island.

Entrepreneur and SME conferences was the mainstream in the agenda of this 3 days event. On Day 1, the MIRC Young Entrepreneur Conference was carried out by Malaysia Entrepreneurs. The topics of the conference covered all the essential tips and idea to incubate and build a successful entrepreneurship in the market place.  For those young budding entrepreneurs, this was the event.

What does this picture tell you? Mmm… Seems they were at each other’s throats in this explosive situation.

Ended the strained relation by signing a peace treaty?

Actually this was the MoU Signing Ceremony between MIRC and SCoPe. The picture above which seems has a strong smell of gunpowder… the truth is, they were only handshaking! Don’t judge things from just one perspective.

August is a special month. The number "8" means properity in Chinese, and has been widely use as the lucky number – to prosper. Especially this year. On the 8th of August, it reads as 08-08-08. Triple prosperity. No wonder China chose this date to launch the country’s first ever Olympic games.

So what’s so special about the 20th of the same month? If the date shows the year in full, it reads as 20-08-2008. Taking out the first hypen, it’s 2008-2008. Well, we got a ‘matching date’ here – the day and month is equivalent to the year.

Let’s call it the ‘Double Match’ Day.

‘Double Match’ translates into Chinese’s "Cheng Shuang Cheng Dui" which means ‘a pair, a couple’, describing the romantic relationship between the couples.

So, treat your loved one for a romantic dinner at your nearest fine dining restaurant. Or use the day to propose. Or if you haven’t found your ‘chosen one’ yet, use the day to give you the courage to confess.

We wish you celebrate the ‘Double Match’ day in style.

Besides ice cubes, there were green beans put inside the box as decoy. Many left the game without nothing, but only their frozen cold hands. 

This is the”Mr.Freeze” of this so called “Cold Factor” game. According to him, good planning is the essential key do the trick and win the game.
