SEEMS LIKE ONLY YESTERDAY WHEN I ATTENDED THE OPENING OF LEICA STORE IN MALAYSIA AT AVENUE K OPPOSITE SURIA KLCC AND BROUGHT GREAT GOOD LUCK TO LEICA SINCE GOD HAS GIVEN ME LUCK AND WHOEVER INVITES ME TO THE LAUNCHING OF THEIR BUSINESS WILL REAP VAST REWARDS. 


THOSE WHO REFUSE TO INVITE ME ALWAYS END IN DISASTER, BANKRUPTCY, DIVORCE (IF IT IS A WEDDING) OR DEATH. HAPPILY, ALMOST ALL HAVE THE COMMON SENSE TO INVITE ME SO THIS EXPLAINS WHY MALAYSIA CONTINUES TO BOOM AS I LIVE HERE!


ANYWAY, OWNER OF LEICA STORE MALAYSIA, SEAN YAP, HOSTED A 1ST ANNIVERSARY PARTY TO CELEBRATE THE MILLIONS HE MADE FROM SELLING LEICAS FOR THE LAST 12 MONTHS.


Leica cameras sell by themselves as they are the World's Best Cameras so Sean Yap had an easy time laughing all the way to the bank. No wonder the food and drinks flowed endlessly.


Celebs and most importantly, buyers of Leica cameras came in full force to toast Germany's finest cameras, the Rolls-Royce of Cameras and by the way, the Germans aka BMW also own Rolls-Royce so RR  is now GG and not the highclass British car anymore as it is now a highclass German  car so might as well buy Mercedes-Benz, BMW or Audi as a last resort. I like VW but Benzi turns more heads and you get to pick up girls you can bring home for sex and take their photos with a Leica camera of course to maintain your highclassness!


Some Leica cameras go for RM 188,888 or more. You can also get a Leica encased in Hermes leather since Hermes at one time owned a substantial stake in Leica. The cheapest Leica is an affordable V-Lux under RM 2,600 while a decent Leica is under RM 10,000 and the M9 is under RM 40,000.

After a successful fiscal year completed under its belt, the Leica Store at Avenue K celebrates with friends of Leica from all walks of life, from dignitaries to local celebrities, to earmark this special occasion.

The event kicked off with a warm welcome from Sean Yap, proprietor of the Leica Store followed by some remarks from Mr. Rainer Jaensch, Malaysia representative from Germany Trade & Invest GmbH and Mathieu Musnier, Area Sales Manager from Leica Camera Asia Pacific. Mathieu Musnier said, “The team of the Leica Store has been sharing the history, values & uniqueness of the Leica products with great passion, know-how and dedication. The months ahead of us are full of enjoyments with the arrival of the M9-P Hermes, the M Monochrom and the new APO-Summicron 50mm /f2 lens, the sharpest lens ever designed at Leica, amongst other things. Today marks yet another milestone for Leica Store in Malaysia towards more amazing Leica and photographic experiences in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia”

The guests were delighted with a stunning performance by local jazz diva Shereen Ramli and electric violinist Dennis Lau before the night ended with a round of delectable chocolate delights from Pierre Ledent.
