-

Paying tribute to Honourable Lady H H Assayida Ahad Abdullah Hamed al Busaidi, the Infrastruc­ture, Technology, Industrial and Consumer Solutions cluster of Mohsin Haider Darwish LLC (MHD-ITICS), sponsored an event to set a new Guinness

World Record for ‘A Word Written with the Largest Number of Flowers’. The event was hosted by Hon Lujaina Mohsin Darwish, Chairperso­n, MHD-ITICS.

The mammoth task of assembling 12,000 roses, which spelt out the First Lady’s name, ‘Ahad’, began with fabricatio­n work on Tuesday and was successful­ly

completed on Wednesday. It was then displayed at a grand event organised near the Snow

Zone area, located on level two of the Mall of Oman.

Official adjudicato­rs from Guinness World Records were present to supervise, analyse and follow every step of the process. Adhering to all the stringent criteria, the masterpiec­e, once finished, stood 8.2m wide and 3m tall and proved to be a true work of art.

Ideated and conceptual­ised by Naseem Abdullah al Fadhli, MD, Integrated Benefits Projects and supported by Haifa Balfaqih, Investment Program Director - Nazdaher and GM, Strategic Planning and Technology, be’ah, the historic event witnessed the

presence of some of the highlyeste­emed guests including Her Excellenci­es, leading businesswo­men and attendees from all over the country. Receiving an overwhelmi­ng response from the audience, the new Guinness World Record further cements Oman’s position on the map as a country filled with unique initiative­s and also as a nation raising an empowered generation of women.

Hon Lujaina Mohsin Darwish said, “With the key message behind this initiative being espe

cially close to our hearts, we are indeed delighted to set this new world record. It not only celebrates Omani women but is a tribute to Honourable Lady H H Assayida Ahad Abdullah Hamed

al Busaidi. Her unwavering faith in the capabiliti­es of the Omani women of today and continuous appreciati­on of their achievemen­ts have served as a constant motivation for all. It has ignited a zeal in every woman to break the glass ceiling and push the frontiers of women leadership.”

“Drawing inspiratio­n from our leaders, MHD-ITICS will continue to act as a catalyst of change, encouragin­g women’s contributi­on to the Omani economy as well as participat­ing and leading in their respective areas of influence and expertise. The strong Omani women have displayed courage, creativity, vision and accomplish­ment and will continue to play an instrument­al role in driving transforma­tion,” she added.

A keynote speech was delivered by Hon Lujaina Mohsin Darwish, which was then followed by the much-awaited reveal and showcase of the largest flower word. Another key highlight of the event was the large LED display wall with snippets and pictures of the First Lady of Oman.
