Cameron Priest and Amira Geneid's engagement dinner party

The private residence of the Geneids was transformed for one night to host the traditional Malay engagement party of Amira Geneid and Cameron Priest.

This was then followed by the presentation of engagement gifts, where the male side put forth seven trays of items to be traded with the female side’s nine trays of items. Once the gifts were accepted, Cameron’s mother Ann Priest placed an engagement ring on Amira’s finger to mark the engagement.

Guests like Tan Sri Lee Kim Yew, Dato' Farah Khan and Tan Sri Ng Yen Yen then moved to the dining marquee to enjoy the delicious food in each other’s company.
