From The Editor

Warmest greetings from the Editorial Team.

So, we have reached the 3rd quarter of 2010. Metro Parking continues to put up strong results,

while constantly improving our level of services from time to time.

Our efforts in improving the business were acknowledged recently. The Group Managing Director,

En Halmi Jasmin have received one prestigious award in the Business Of The Year Award 2010,

namely the "Corporate Leader of the Year". It therefore recognizes the management’s commitment

in building up the reputation of the company. Congratulations to En Halmi Jasmin.

We have also secured a few new car parks contracts as reported in this issue. Congratulations to

the Development Team in further expanding our territory.

On other aspects, we have organized family days for Central Region and Southern Region

recently. The days were full of fun-filled activities. This was certainly a form of reward to our

dedicated staff and their loving family members.

As the fasting month is around the corner, I am pleased to wish all Muslim staff “ Selamat

Berpuasa” and hope that we live the Ramadhan with patience and serenity. “Selamat Hari Raya

Aidilfitri”, after a month of fasting, it is time for celebration during “Aidilfitri”
