Konbanwa.

I think I have thanked everybody in OIC in my previous speech. Now, however, I would like, again, to extend my thank to each one of you, including Mangrove Ecosystem participants, who has spent the time with me.

This also include Miyagi-san and family who have invited me to their house, eating fried yakisoba (Malaysian style) and toriniku satay, eating out in a nice Japanese restaurant (with Karaoke, too).

Not to forget, Kudaka-san who has married Lela-san, a Malaysian. They have three cute children – Minako, Ayumi and Tomo.

Also, Azad-san, a Malaysian graduate student here in University of Ryukyus. He has been here for almost eight years. No wonder his Nihongo is like water flowing down from a waterfall.

To other Malaysian participants; Amran-san and Zainun-san who have been with me and cheer me up. All other Malaysian students here in Okinawa, too. Hope to see you soon.

Ja mata.
