One of Monaco’s strengths over the UAE I would imagine is that they haven’t adopted a completely abrasive foreign policy which has pissed off a large neighbour nearby

[Morris Monye @Morris_Monye]

Monaco is what Dubai has been trying to attract and retain for decades.

Another busy weekend & we left for #Limbang to attend the official opening ceremony of the annual #Babulang & Buffalo Racing Festival which has entered its 21st edition this year. I had represented our right honorable Premier of #Sarawak at this colourful festival which is on from 5 to 7 June at #Babulang Festival Grounds, Kpg Batu Danau. Well done to Sarawak #Bisaya Association, who have successfully attracted thousands of visitors to this iconic cultural festival which had featured the much anticipated water buffalo racing and also the uniquely decorated water buffalo parade by Bisaya community.
