Kuala Lumpur,6 April 2008 - After the MAULIDURRASUL celebration 2008 at the Limpahan Kasih orphanage in Puchong the convoy including celebrity guests left Tesco Puchong at 9.30 am 6th April. A total of 240 cars from various clubs eg BMW, Volvo, Honda jazz, Citra, Perdana V6 and super bikes participated in the event. Many Amateur radio members were also members of these clubs. Each of the cars carried 2 orphans or a celebrity.
Slowly making its way through KL in two groups escorted by 15 traffic police on motor bikes, the orphans felt like VIPs seated in the luxury cars - it was an unforgettable experience for them. The convoy was led by the police escort to major landmarks such as the parliament building, eye of malaysia in Titiwangsa, the twin towers, national museum and finally out to the wetlands way in Putrajaya. At the points where the convoy passed through KL traffic came to a stand still and left people wondering who was the VIP with a large entourage causing this Jam.
A big thank you to the KL Traffic Police who did an excellent job of keeping the convoy in line throughout the journey. Our own amateur radio Comm Car (9w2ice) had the opportunity to use his vehicle siren and flashing lights to assist the police in keeping the convoy together. The police was certainly amused to see the Comm Car in action.
The event ended with a late lunch, a singing and a photo session with the celebrities in the Wetlands.
