Taipeh Highlights – Study Tour Pt II

The following day saw us visiting two other places, the Malaysian Friendship and Trade Center Taipeh and the Taiwan headquarters of Visiber, a Malaysian jewellery company which has been listed on the Taiwan stock Exchange.

The Malaysian Taiwan Friendship and Trade Center is quite a large organization.  Its size indicates the importance of its function.  We were briefed on its role in maintaining the cordial symbiotic relationship between Malaysia and Taiwan in view of the fact that Malaysia does not have diplomatic recognition of Taiwan.

This Center focusses on four areas, namely, Socio-politics, Trade, Investment and Tourism. More than ten thousand Malaysian students are currently studying in Taiwan.  The Taiwan government also provides for the costs of medical treatment each year for ten Malaysian children with congenital heart disease at the Taiwan Medical University Hospital.   Malaysia is Taiwan’s eighth largest trading partner with 16.63 billion Ringgit in trade while Taiwan has invested 11.6 billion Ringgit in Malaysia.  Since the year 2000, there have been 900 participants in the MM2H  ( Malaysia My Second Home ) program.  There is also a healthy flow of tourists from Taiwan to Malaysia and vice versa.

Visiber has expanded globally beyond Malaysia and South East Asia to include the Middle East as well. Its beautifully crafted jewellery featuring designs based on numerology, not only emanate a touch of elegance but also bring positive thinking energy to the wearer.  We learned how numbers impact our lives and what we can do to improve our well-being. Our character numbers have great bearing on our personalities and we were each given an analysis of our personal numbers. Numerology is a science that stimulates great interest and combined with the manufacturing of exquisite jewellery  Visiber’s  is a niche that is rapidly capturing the market.
