Kuala Lumpur 17 January 2008 - Kuwait Finance House (Malaysia) Berhad (KFHMB) showcased its successes in the lucrative business environment of Malaysia during the inaugural Malaysia Services Exhibition (MSE) 2008. The event was held at the Sharjah Expo Centre in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), from January 13 to 15, 2008.

The delegates from Malaysia were headed by The Honourable Dato' Seri Rafidah Aziz, the Minister of International Trade & Industry. Apart from Sharjah, the three-day mission took the delegates to Kuwait and Oman.
