70 VOLUNTEERS FOR LIMA 2009

LANGKAWI (Malaysia), Nov 28 (Bernama) -- Seventy volunteers will be on duty
during the Langkawi International Maritime & Aerospace (Lima 2009) exhibition on
the legendary island from Dec 1 to 5, Langkawi Tourism Action Council facilities
and services manager Suziana Wan Othman said Saturday.

She said the volunteers would serve with the Lima 2009 organiser at the
Mahsuri International Exhibition Centre (MIEC) in Padang Matsirat.

HW Lima Sdn Bhd is the sole organiser of this year's edition of Lima.
Previously, the biennial event was hosted by two organisers, separately for the
maritime and aerospace segments.

Suziana said the volunteers had to attend a special course held by the
tourism council.

Up to 325 exhibitors from 25 countries are expected to take part in this
year's Lima.

Suziana said that in conjunction with Lima 2009, various exhibitions, sales
and performances would be held at the Awana Porto Malai Resort and Pekan Rabu in
Kuah.

Lima, which was started in 1991, is a major destination for manufacturers of
aerospace and maritime products who target the Asia Pacific market.
