This video is one of many marketing tools that helped the SCB marketing team achieve phenomenal success. Press release extract from SCB in July '08: "Less than 2 years since its formation, SCB have secured 12 conference bid wins in the 1st quarter of '08. Working overtime with its global marketing efforts, the wins translate into 15,400 delegate days with direct delegate expenditure of RM12.3 million."

This video has just won a 3rd international award: PATA Gold Award. Gold Camera Statuette in the Tourism & Travel Category at the US International Film & Video Festival, Los Angeles. Diamond Award (Best of All Categories) at ITB Berlin. To the best of my knowledge, no other tourism commercial has achieved this before. Every time I drive past the SCB office (the little bungalow on the hill next to Yayasan Sarawak), I honk to show respect!!
