Good morning Prof. and all our team members.

It is really an interesting event and sharing experiences in “distance e-learning” in our region. OUM as a pioneer in the field may see opportunity to expand here.

Thank you for sharing the Jogjakarta's views with us.

Thank you Hj. Idris. The conference was good and we have learned a lot here through the exchange of ideas.

We also enjoy the food here especially the nasi padang and the ramayana show.
