PUBLIC NOTARY

Today 20th November 2012.

We wanted to conclude our supply Agreement of Crude Palm Oil (CPO) with PT Perkebunan Nusantara 13, Pontianak. Towards this end I have to prepare legal documents and company profile to be certified by a Public Notary. A Cross boarder certification requirement in acceptance of documents by foreign countries..

This morning after all documents were prepared and comb-bonded, I brought the documents to one Public Notary attached to a legal firm in Shah Alam. Upon arrival I introduced myself to him and told him of the purpose of the documents. His name is Encik Mohd Yacob bin Karim. He is in his 70's slim and fit. While he was authenticating the documents my memory runs back to the late 70's when I first joined the banking fraternity. Something makes me feel that I have known this gentleman but was not able to place him. I was not able to hide my curiosity and ask him where he was in his early days. He replied and it was indeed a pleasant surprise to know that this gentleman was the principal partner of Messrs Yaakub dan Rakan-rakan; a very established legal firm that was on the panel of many Banks. Indeed it has been many years since the last time we meet.

The attestation fee was RM50.00 and RM10.00 for every page certified. With Company registration, Forms 24 & 49, M&A and company profile with relevant certificates and licenses the total costs was RM370.00.

The job was done at about 1.00pm, we adjourned for lunch.

Thereafter, I headed for Wisma Putra, Putrajaya for certification by the Foreign Ministry. This certification of the "Pengesahan Serah Kuasa" costs me RM20.00  .

Tomorrow I will be going to the Indonesian Embassy in Kuala Lumpur to complete the certification and attestation  of the documents prior to it being courier mailed to Pontianak.

We look forward to a successful and profitable venture with our Indonesian counterpart.
