PETALING JAYA (Jan 16): Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has been invited to speak at the Oxford Union, and doing so will make him the first Malaysian and democratically-elected Asean leader to do so.
In a tweet posted on Tuesday night (Jan 15), Youth and Sports Minister Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman said it had taken months of planning.
“Can’t wait! Malaysia, the tiger of Asia!” he said, adding that the speech will take place on Friday (Jan 18).
After months of planning, Tun M will finally make his appearance at the Oxford Union. He will be the first Malaysian & democratically-elected leader from ASEAN to be invited to speak at the esteemed Union.
