Public lecture on democracy and human rights in the Commonwealth


Wednesday April 18, 2012

 I have not been to my club for over a year!!!! Popped into the old Buttery for lunch!
 How I missed the kopi-o!!! It's very black and thick: Really KAU!!!

 Was invited for this Public lecture, and it piqued my interest to hear what his views on "democracy and human rights" in Malaysia were.
 changed from my school "work clothes" into "smart casual/office wear" dress code.  At the banquet hall, I have not been here for ages.  Used to love watching movies here with my eldest daughter.
The Honourable Senator has arrived

of humans rights in Malaysia,
but the Senator's lips are sealed!!
 Tea time at the banquet hall. Used to love
the tea break during the blockbuster movies that 
we caught here.

Public lecture on democracy and human rights in the Commonwealth

THERE will be a public lecture on Democracy, Human Rights and Civil Liberties: The Commonwealth Experience at the Royal Lake Club on April 18.
Giving the lecture at the Banquet Hall at 5pm will be Senator Hugh Segal, Canada’s Special Envoy for Commonwealth Renewal.
He is also a member of the Commonwealth Eminent Persons Group (EPG), which former Prime Minister Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi chairs.
“Senator Segal, a prominent member of the EPG, is expected to provide an overview on the Commonwealth experience relating to Democracy, Human Rights and the Rule of Law and the future direction it will take,” said Gandhi Memorial Trust of Malaysia chairman S. Radhakrishnan.
The trust is organising the lecture.
“The EPG was established to improve the Commonwealth’s reputation on human rights,” Radhakrishnan added.
He said the Commonwealth spanned every continent and contained every major world religion, adding that there were 800 million Hindus, 500 million Muslims and 400 million Christians who lived in the Commonwealth.
Radhakrishnan said admission to the public lecture was free.

the senator also had a forum on Monday at the Law faculty, Uni Malaya, but I did not feel like
fighting with the traffic to get there.
