TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 2011, KUALA LUMPUR – The year-end PC Fair 2011 continues this week in Seremban, Negeri Sembilan. It will be held November 25 to 27 in conjunction with NSICT Carnival 2011 which will be launched November 26, 2011 by Negeri Sembilan Chief Minister Dato’ Seri Utama Haji Mohamad Haji Hasan at State Youth & Sports Complex in Paroi, approximately 10 minutes drive from city centre.

According PIKOM president Shaifubahrim Saleh, PC Fair 2011 Seremban is co-organised with Negeri Sembilan State Government. “This effort marks the first of such collaborations between the Negeri Sembilan State Government and us. We are excited and consumers there can look forward to numerous options specifically on tablets, handheld devices, GPS products, small-and-medium based computing solutions, high performance desktop computers and peripherals, wireless broadband packages, desktop and mobile audio devices and digital cameras,” he said.

The three-day popular Fair will feature 33 participating exhibitors like Comp Solution (Booth SBN25, SBN26), Golden Horse Centre (Booth SBN30), IT Jaya Sdn Bhd (Booth SBN09), Netsis Technology Sdn Bhd (Booth SBN22, SBN31) and STP Computer System (Booth SBN18, SBN19), representing local consumer ICT retailers. "The Fair is a terrific opportunity for local retailers to showcase their products and strengthen their presence," he said.

Several activities like PC Fair Lucky Draw 2011, PC Fair 2011 Redemption Program and stage activities will be held to add a festive ambient. "We expect the Fair in Seremban to host a large crowd of visitors and shoppers with the start of the year-end school holidays last week. The lucky winner of the final lucky draw on November 27, 2011 will go home with an Apple iPad2." Four draws will be held daily; 2pm, 4pm, 6pm and 8pm and only shoppers with a minimum purchase of RM100 are eligible to participate.
