A phalanx of Malaysia’s VVIPs witnessed the grand opening of Four
Seasons Hotel Kuala Lumpur on 18 November. Officiated by His Royal Highness Sultan of Selangor, Sultan
Sharafuddin Idris Shah Al-Haj in a glittering ceremony at the Grand Ballroom.
Also present to grace the occasion were guest of honour, the Acting Agong His
Royal Highness Sultan Nazrin Muizzuddin Shah.
Among the VVIPs who attended the significant occasion were Raja
Muda of Selangor, Tengku Amir Shah, Minister of Economic Affairs, YB Dato’ Seri Azmin
Ali, Minister of Federal Territories, YB Tuan Khalid Abdul Samad, Menteri Besar
of Selangor, YB Tuan Amirudin Shari and Menteri Besar of Kedah, Dato Seri
Muhkriz Mahathir.
Prior
to dinner, invited guests dressed to the nines enjoyed cocktails and canapés at the
Residence’s Pool Deck. A glass and steel platform atop the swimming pool was
decked with the Four Seasons wordmark amidst handcrafted paper foliage.
While we watched the pliant agility of a ‘water nymph’ in a huge, floating
and transparent ball on water, another performer drew attention with her giant
bubble-blowing theatrics.
Pre-dinner drinks were served as precursor to a sumptuous sit-down
dinner inside the elaborately-decorated Grand Ballroom. After the opening speech by General Manager of Four Seasons Hotel Kuala Lumpur Tom Roelens and the grand opening ceremony dispensed with, local songstress Syafinaz
Selamat serenaded guests with her dynamic performance during dinner.
