When I posted pictures of my visit to LEGOLAND Malaysia for on my Facebook page Media briefing on invitation, I came to know that there are still many people in Malaysia is not aware that LEGOLAND is going to be opened soon. I am among bloggers who were given he opportunity to visit the build site at Nusajaya, Iskandar Malaysia. I was invited for the first visit on 30th March 2012 together with two other bloggers and the second was on 25th April 2012 for a Media briefing and site visit. During the second visit the General Manager, Mr Siegfried Boerst announced the Official Grand opening of LEGOLAND Malaysia and countdown begins.
