Can you believe Shangri-La KL is now 30 years old or will be on 20 April 2015 the exact date?

To celebrate, Shangri-La KL feted long serving staff who have worked for 10, 15, 20, 25 and of course 30 years.

The Queen of them all is Dato Rosemarie Wee the Regional Director of Public Relations who joined Shangri-La a year before the hotel opened! Her office was across the road at MUI Plaza! How time flies!

Dato Rosemarie Wee is the record holder as she has officially been with Shangri-La for 31 years, longer than anyone else! 

Congratulations Dato Rosemarie Wee! What a sterling example you have set for the staff!
