The Sri Lanka - Malaysia Business Council of the Ceylon Chamber of Commerce bid farewell in a unique way to Malaysian High Commissioner Nazirah Hussain, who returns to Kula Lumpur end of this month on completion of her full term.

During her tenure in Sri Lanka, Malaysia became the largest investor in Sri Lanka and one of the biggest trading partners. From this year Malaysia offers Sri Lankan tourist Visa on arrival, which very few foreign countries offer us.

Malaysia is one of the most developed nations in Asia and is blessed with a harmonious, multi-religious and multi-racial society of 26 Million people with a high GDP per capita and has a high standard of living with all the modern infrastructure and facilities in place.

In honoring the high commissioner’s request, the Sri Lanka – Malaysia Business Council (SLMBC) organised a Charity event by donating student requirements to Buddhagosha Maha Vidyalaya, Kalubowila, Dehiwala. Dr. Rohitha Silva, President, SLMBC and members of the Council donated new sports goods and stationary items for the students at a ceremony which held last week at the school premises with the Principal, Staff and the 600 students. Sri Lankan Cricketer Sanath Jayasuria also contributed one of his cricket bats to the School Cricket team.
