Malaysian 4x4 expedition promotes friendship

Dato’ Dr. Mohamad Rameez Yahaya, the acting high commissioner of Malaysia, welcomed a group of 35 Malaysians with 11 4×4 vehicles participating in the TransAfrica VII expedition at the Malaysian High Commission in Windhoek on Tuesday.The 4×4 World Explorer Club arrived from Botswana on their tour across 12 countries in Southern Africa from 23 May to 21 July. The countries include Namibia, South Africa, Eswatini, Mozambique, Malawi, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Kenya and Lesotho.Speaking to Namibian Sun, expedition leader Thomas Foo underscored their mission of peace and friendship with Namibia and Africa at large.He said the expedition has been around for nearly a decade, with the first one hosted in 1997, followed by others in 2000, 2003, 2010, 2017 and 2020.‘Friends of the world’Foo said they travel to strengthen people-to-people relations and bilateral ties. “We are so grateful to be here, as this is our home away from home. We want to be friends with the world. Malaysia is a small country, and if we don’t travel, we will not be able to make friends. Similar to corporate social responsibility, we are looking to work together on mutually beneficial initiatives in the future.”Rameez praised Namibia, highlighting its low crime rates compared to other parts of Africa as well as its 60-day no-visa policy. He also treated the adventurers to Malaysian delicacies.
