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.
