FCI President visits The Malaysian Kennel Association
It was a privilege and honour for The Malaysian Kennel Association (MKA) to have our FCI President Mr Rafael de Santiago, officiate the opening of our newly renovated offices on 20th January, 2014. This is the first time that any board member of the FCI has visited the MKA in its 89 year history. MKA, the oldest kennel club in Asia, became a full member of the FCI at the General Assembly in Budapest in May 2013.
Our FCI President took time during his hectic Asian tour, to stop over and visit Malaysia and spend time with the MKA Board members, as well as to judge at an All Breeds show organised by the MKA. As a new FCI member, the Board members of the MKA were delighted to be able to spend time with our President discussing various issues pertaining to our new full FCI membership.
Our FCI President also took time to meet with the 12 permanent staff members of the MKA during his tour of the MKA building in Kuala Lumpur.
The MKA is very grateful to our FCI President for taking the time to visit us and to get to know the board and staff. This visit will certainly be a very historic milestone in the history of the MKA. Many thanks once again to FCI President Mr Rafael de Santiago for his visit to our country and club.
