InfoTalk Wisma Wanita A place to call their own Wisma Wanita duly recognise the contributions of women in the state and their status in society The industrious and filial women in Sarawak were justifiably awarded with a brand new building to call their own on 15 th March 2006 in Kuching, the capital city. Aptly called Wisma Wanita, this specifically designed, double storey complex located in a secluded corner in Semariang, became the main centre for coordinating women’s activities and information, conferences, seminars, talks, annual events and anniversaries. It was proudly declared open by the Chief Minister of Sarawak, YAB Pehin Sri Haji Abdul Taib Mahmud, and is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Social Development & Urbanisation. Spread over a large area, the RM 7.5 million building comprised building blocks and specially built rooms for multi purposes and even has a child day care laboratory. More specifically, Wisma Wanita housed the office for Sarawak Women’s Bureau and its administration which is aimed at uplifting the status and lives of women in the state while providing the necessary education, financial and training needs to ensure that women will continue to be an important force in the state and nation. Over the years, the Bureau has assisted countless number of women achieve their aims and ambitions while providing for themselves and their families and ever expanding the scope within which women could work and excel side by side with men. The Sarawak Women’s Bureau is currently planning to set up an interactive child lab for training individuals or organisations interested in setting up childcare centres at their work place or home. Numerous activities for individuals and groups can be held at the centre as the facilities are up to par with any others in the market. The multi-purpose hall can easily accommodate up to 1,000 people at any one time with canteen and surau to meet the needs of those using the hall. Additionally there’s a conference hall which can sit 150 participants while the seminar room can sit up to 100 people. Smaller meeting rooms can accommodate 30 people and the purpose built dormitory can accommodate 80 people per occasion. Apart from all these room facilities, those interested in using them can also request for other items necessary for events and the centre can arrange for these when given advance notice. A number of organisations have used the facilities here as the rates charged are reasonable and the place is uniquely ‘isolated’ for exclusivity and peacefulness which is a premium in today’s urban jungle setting.

ProductTalk In Malaysia the Manzano name is synonymous with uncompromising perfection. What many might not know is how Jimmy Choo, the man behind the brand, came up with the name in the first place. Jimmy Choo designs the very best and most unique in furniture. Manzano Concept is named after the chair-manufacturing district in the extreme Northeast of Italy. Manzano used to be world famous for it’s chairs. Today it has been battered by cheaper Chinese produced ones. A giant 23-ton chair is a reminder of the town’s more prosperous times. Uncompromising Perfection What better way to highlight the quality of his furniture then to choose a name that has a proud tradition of once producing the finest chairs in Europe and the world. Jimmy tries to carry on that legacy in his own products. Whenever anyone purchase a Manzano Concept furniture they are assured of getting the very best for their money. Jimmy’s attention to detail starts from the moment of the design. He has learnt how the other renown furniture companies produce their furniture and gone the extra kilometer to make sure that his is even better. That’s why Jimmy dares to give a 6-year guarantee and free first cleaning service, which is unheard of in the local furnishing business. To continue to better serve his customers Jimmy has come up with an exclusive VIP lifetime membership card. The magnetic-swipe card records all customers’ purchases on a database for future reference, and customers are entitled to another 5% discount on top of existing discounts. Upon signing up for the card customers will be given a one-of-a-kind key chain and an exclusive towel. Manzano Concept will be celebrating its 3 rd anniversary in early July. To commerate this occasion new products will be unveiled and special discounts will be offered. What this means is that customers will have more choices. Manzano continues to grow and has spread to the United Kingdom, Australia and China. In Malaysia Jimmy’s furniture is sold in Seremban, Kota Kinabalu, Kuching and Miri.
