CHT AWARDS & BALL 2009

Mystical Adventure

In keeping with CHT Network tradition, the CHT Awards & Ball - Mystical Adventure raised guests' temperatures and got the party going in style. There were plenty of entertainment on offer which included a dramatic fashion show by Jaeger-LeCoultre and Richard Rivalee, live music, a touch of drama and the much-awaited CHT Eagle awards presentation. The CHT Network Achievement Awards are presented annually to individuals or organizations who have made valuable contributions to society. The actual throphy is modeled on an eagle to symbolize the soaring quest for achievements and the attainment of greater heights.

Of course every party is only as memorable as its guest mix, and Mystical Adventure brought together a wide range of Malaysia's most successful personalities, consummate party-goers and celebrities, the perfect cocktail for an evening that promises plenty of glamour and glitz! Once again, the majestic E&O Hotel, Penang provided the perfect backdrop to Mystical Adventure, with its unrivaled aura of old-world grandeur and sophistication.
