Since the last report, we had quite a few visits from clients and clients-to-be such as UKM, Cyberview, MAXIS, Tenby International School, USM & UNIKL. The visit is normally a briefing of the history & track record of OBM, a tour around the School showing all the facilities and followed by a speedboat trip to Teluk Sekadih and Pantai Shawal. If so required, we even go all the way to Pulau Rumbia.
