MGC Joy Club day trip to Tanjong Sepat
16 April 2016
The Joy Club of Melawati Gospel Centre organized a one day Tanjung Sepat and Sepang Gold Coast tour on 16 April 2016. We departed from Taman Melawati at around 7:30am and arrived back around 9:30PM. Due to the overwhelming response for the trip we have 44 persons going in a bus and 5 more travelling by car.
Our friendly tour guide Jennifer gave a short briefing of the day's itinerary before our departure.
Our trip to Tanjong Sepat begins with a visit to Oasis Nutra Ceutical Sdn Bhd where we were introduced to the health products it manufactures and also learn some information about healthcare.
Breakfast which consist of packed nasi lemak and coffee were served to us while we listen to the heath talk.
Next we visited Multi-Rich Pitaya Sdn.Bhd which is a dragon fruit farm where we bought dragon fruits, guava & fruit enzymes
