BMW Malaysian WTA Open 2016 – Sime Darby Property Networking Evening

AMCHAM together with the Malaysian Dutch Business Council (MDBC) and with 12 other Chamber of Commerce’s and Business Councils jointly organized its Annual Inter-Chamber Networking evening in-conjunction with BMW Malaysian WTA Open on March 1, 2016. This year’s networking event gathered approximately 200 guests at the elite Kuala Lumpur Golf and Country Club.

The evening began with cocktails and canapes at the International Collection Gallery hosted by Sime Darby, after which everyone then adjourned to the VIP Skybox for Cocktail & Dinner followed with watching the match between Roberta Vinci of Italy and Kai-Chen Chang of Taiwan.

The tournament comprised of top 24 highest ranked players in the entry list. The main highlight of the tournament was Wimbledon’s finalist and World No.32 Sabine Lisicki, Roberta Vinci, last year’s U.S. Open finalists; current WTA Tour Champion Elina Svitolina, Former Wimbledon Finalist and World No. 58 Eugenie Bouchard; and four-time mixed doubles Grand Slam champion and World No. 101 Daniela Hantuchova.

In Singles Final, Elina Svitolina (UKR) beat Eugenie Bouchard (CAN) to win the Singles Championship of the BMW Malaysian Open this year after several match suspensions due to weather conditions which stretched the match past midnight.

AMCHAM would like to take this opportunity to thank the Malaysian Dutch Business Council (MDBC) for inviting us to be a part of this event yet again this year.
