The Malaysian community in W.A. enjoyed great Malaysian food at the food fair held at Queens Park Recreation Centre and contributed toward a good cause on this beautiful Sunday afternoon. All funds raised were donated to the Silver Jubilee Home for the Aged in Penang, Malaysia.

The Agong's Cup 2006 organised by AMWA was a great success, with over 90 participants taking part in the tournament. Congratulations to Winson Iskander, winner of the golf tournament, as well as to the lucky winner of the lucky draw, winning an MAS ticket to KL. Many other prizes donated by various sponsors were given away, so no one went home empty handed!

Many thanks to all the sponsors and Meadow Springs Golf Club and great work by the organiners.
