 His Excellency Mr. Bernhard Diepgen,
     Governing Mayor of Berlin;
Mrs. Diepgen;
Excellencies;
Ladies and Gentlemen.
    It  is  indeed  a great honour for me and my wife to be
here tonight at  Schloss  Charlottenburg  and  to  sign  the
Golden  Book  of  Berlin.    As  you  are  aware, I am on an
official visit to the Federal Republic of  Germany.    I  am
therefore  delighted  to  be  in  Berlin.    I would like to
express once again my sincere  appreciation  to  the  German
Government  and to you, Your Excellency, for the hospitality
accorded to me and my delegation in Berlin.
2.   I have followed with  interest  the  developments  that
have  taken  place  in  Berlin  since the war.   After being
completely devastated during the war, Berlin, with its  long
history,  has once again become an important industrial city
as well as a major centre known for its culture  and  higher
learning.   It is in fact a tribute to the German people who
are   known   for   their    efficiency,    diligence    and
far-sightedness.  This great city, which recently celebrated
its  750th  anniversary  has  also  become  a symbol for the
building of bridges between West and East.   Much  has  been
achieved towards fulfilling the aspirations of the people of
Berlin and I am sure more will be done in the future.
3.   It is my hope thay my visit will further strengthen the
cordial  and friendly relations between Malaysia and Berlin,
in addition to enhancing our trade and economic ties to  our
mutual  benefit.    It  is  also  my hope that the increased
awareness of Malaysia in the Federal Republic would generate
greater interest in Malaysia's economic  potentials  amongst
the industrialists and businessmen here.
Your Excellency,
4.   Once  again,  I  wish  to  thank  you  for hosting this
occasion.  My wife and I and my delegation look  forward  to
our visit to this cosmopolitan city.
     Thank you.
