From tomorrow onwards, I will be in England and Ireland for a short visit to meet Malaysian students and young professionals working there.
UK and Ireland have consistently been popular destinations for Malaysians to further their studies and it is my priority to engage with you with hopes that you will contribute productively back to the country when you return.
Some of the highlights of my trip are:
21/2 (Friday)
7pm: Dinner & evening dialogue arranged by Badan Perhubungan Umno Negara United Kingdom at Renaissance Manchester City Centre Hotel, Manchester.
22/2 (Saturday)
8am: Sheffield Malaysian Games 2014 at King Edwards Community Sports Centre and Tapton School, Sheffield
7pm: Dinner with Malaysian students & community at Malaysia Hall, Dublin.
23/2 (Sunday)
8.30am: Breakfast with student leaders at Radisson BLU Royal Hotel, Dublin
4.45pm: Speech at Projek Amanat Negara (PAN) organized by United Kingdom & Eire Council for Malaysian Students (UKEC) at Hilton Deansgate Hotel, Manchester.
24/2 (Monday)
8.30pm: Futsal match with Malaysian students and the UKEC at Paddington, London.
I may have another session with students at the London School of Economics which is pending confirmation.
I hope that those around the area will be able to join me in any of my programmes there and I sincerely look forward to meeting the Malaysian community in UK and Ireland.
