Silver Jubilee Celebration (23 June 2011)
23 June 2011 was a fun-filled merrymaking day for PBF as we remember and celebrate our 25th year. 25 years in a long, beautiful journey to celebrate.
It was a day of cakes, VIP’s, mascots, smiles and of course, butterflies!
Highlights of the event:
-
It was an honour to celebrate our 25th year with Penang’s Chief Minister, Mr Lim Guan Eng and the rest of invited guests.
The Chief Minister had a private tour around the newly renovated farm.
-
8 PBF’s Long-serving employees did a 2.5km cycling before the Chief Minister handed them the Employee’s Long Service Awards.
All these wonderful people has been serving PBF since at least 20 years ago!
-
In 1996, Mr David Goh, our founder planted a Time Capsule that was to be extracted and revealed at the 25th anniversary. Yesterday, after being buried for 15 years, everyone present witnessed the extraction and revelation of the Time Capsule.
The capsule was dug out by the same two people who buried it: Mr Ishak & Mr Jafri.
The Time Capsule contains a pledge written by Mr David Goh on the farm’s 10th anniversary, stating to donate at least RM0.25 per entry ticket to charity for the whole 12 months of the 25th anniversary. It was such a significant moment!
-
All the invited guests and farm visitors had their chance to release a butterfly as they explore and experience the newly transformed Penang Butterfly Farm.
-
Orni, Juro, Tacca, Toro and Dagon made their appearance to cheer up the event with smiles, laughter and pretty pictures for the visitor’s album.
We would like to thank everyone involved that had made this event a success! We really really appreciate your time & effort!
Last but not least, Congratulations & Thank you to our dear Mr David Goh. Without your passion and efforts to make your dreams a reality, we would not have this beautiful day.
25 years and still counting!
