**CHANGE OF SPEAKER** Dialogue with Dato' Ambiga Sreenevasan
Dear members,
The LSESU Malaysia Club scheduled a dialogue with Dato' Ambiga Sreenevasan titled "The Urgent Need for Electoral Reform and Good Governance in Malaysia". However, we deeply regret to inform you that Dato’ Ambiga is currently unwell with a very bad flu and has to delay her travel plans.
On the other hand, we are glad to have Dr. Teo Hoon Seong and Ms. Leong See-See, both trustee of MyOverseasVote as replacement speakers. MyOverseasVote is a non-partisan organisation who fights for the rights to vote of Malaysians living overseas. More about MyOverseasVote can be found at http://myoverseasvote.org/about/.
Our apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused and Dato’ Ambiga sends her sincere apologies and best wishes to everyone. The LSESU Malaysia Club would also like to thank you for showing your support for this event. We will inform you if Dato’ Ambiga arranges another travel plan to London. We also hope to see you in other upcoming public events by the Club.
Again, please accept our deepest apologies for the short notice.
Regards,
LSESU Malaysia Club
