Family Day at Penang Mutiara Beach Resort  The Association had a wonderful time when Penang Mutiara Beach Resort hosted families of  children with Down Syndrome to a family outing at the hotel on 27th May 2000.  About 100 parents, children and siblings joined in to have a day of fun, food and games. Yang Berhormat, Timbalan Ketua Mentri Pulau Pinang, Dato’ Dr Hilmi Yahaya was kind enough to grace the occasion although it was a busy time for him with the SUKMA games in Penang.  In his speech he expressed his interest in such groups and encouraged more hotels to organise such functions. The General Manager of Penang Mutiara Beach Resort Mr. Peter Gibbons was at hand to join in the fun. It was an exciting day where the children performed dances, songs and even an act on ‘Michael Jackson’.  The function ended at about 6.00pm and everyone went home with happy memories. Thank you to YB Dato’ Dr. Hilmi and Penang Mutiara Beach Resort                                     .
