A representative from the wing said the public could redeem their free flight vouchers and make their flight bookings during the three-day PC Show, organised by a non-profitable non-government organisation Kelab Anak Malaysia.
Good one: Mohd Zahir (second from left) holding up the PC Show placards while posing with (from left) Dr S. Martin, organising chairman V. Sugumaran and Kelab Anak Malaysia president Ong Teng Boon during a press conference. “Travel period is between July 22 this year and March 31, 2012,” the representative said in a press conference attended by Perak state executive councillor Datuk Mohd Zahir Abdul Khalid in Ipoh recently.
The representative said 2,000 vouchers would be given each day on a first-come, first-serve basis.
She said the public would only need to pay for airport taxes and administrative fees which varied according to destinations.
Lions Club of Ipoh Host president Dr S. Martin said cash vouchers were also up for grabs when visitors bring in their unwanted notebooks, computers and printers during the fair.
“Visitors can redeem vouchers between RM2 and RM20 to be spent at the fair,” Dr Martin said.
He said there were a lot of dangerous toxic wastes like cadmium, lead, mercury and PVC found within electronic gadgets and it could be harmful to the environment when dumped indiscriminately.
“The toxic waste will seep into the ground and can contaminate the water source and pose a threat to the community,” he said.
He said unwanted computers and gadgets would be disposed of in an environment-friendly manner.
Meanwhile, Mohd Zahir said there would be 46 booths selling computers as well as peripherals to other electronic gadgets.
“The fair is aimed at creating an interest among the people, especially the younger generation, about information technology.
“It will also help to stimulate the IT industry in the state,” he said.
The three-day fair opens from 11am to 10pm. For details, call 012-444 1138 or visit www.pcshow.com.my
