We invited the media about the grand opening of Musical Extravaganza which was held on the 26th June 2010. It started at 9pm by Elizabeth Wong, Minister of Tourism, Consumer and Environment Committee Chairman at Padang Timur.
She said the festival aims to make Selangor a musical talent where people have a platform to show their talent to the public. The event had different activities which includes hot air balloon, people had to pay a little amount in order to ride a balloon that flew high and after few minutes it will land on the ground. There was karaoke recording, this is whereby people who want to record their demo CD they will pay RM10 and sing and later on they will get their CD. This was interesting as it is in line with what Ms Elizabeth Wong said earlier that they want Selangor a musical talent where people have a platform to show their talent to the public. There was live broadcast of FIFA WORLD CUP.
I was still responsible for the media. I had to issue media kit and the package they had for them. I learnt that Media Relations is not only about giving them the media kits but it is also about building relationship with the media people. How do I build relationship with them? I have conversations with them to create ties. It will also help gain press coverage. During the event I smile with them and make them feel welcome. I also befriend them by talking to them; this also makes my job of updating media list easier as they already know me. This was one of my interesting events as I was interviewed by Maya from Astro Awami- Gala TV.
We were asked to come up with media angle about Selangor Musical Extavaganza. We have to come up with topics that will attract media to come for the event.

Hi Janet...I missed the event but would really love you to fill me in. What was happening and what role did you play during the event?
Thanks all for your comments. I enjoyed the event so much more especially that it was my birthday. Though it rained some few hours before the event it did not affect us. There was a lot of fun, all the bands which were written in the invitation letters were there. There were great prizes to be won. Above all there was a hot air balloon, that was my interesting part among them all.
