For the very first time, Queen Mary Malaysian Society presents “Uncovering the truth of the Past”, a talk by an important figure in Malaysia, Tun Hanif Omar.

Tun was born on 16th of January 1939. He was the Chief of Police of Malaysia and the longest serving Chief of Police. He served for 20 years during the crucial times of our history. He gave his service to our second Prime Minister, the late Tun Razak. He was also in duty during the most important chapters in our history which are during the state of the emergency due to communists attack and also during the racial riot in May 1969. Currently, Tun Hanif Omar is the Deputy Chairman of Genting Group, one of Asia’s leading and best-managed multinational corporation.

As an experienced and a non-political figure, Tun agreed to share his opinions and thoughts. He will be discussing issues ranging from history, law, democracy, unity and also nationalism.

Tun will be there to answer your doubts on the important events of our history from the day we achieved Independence, Communist attack, May 13, Konfrontasi, MAPHILINDO and all the way to Bersih 2.0.

As future leaders of Malaysia, we strongly encourage you to attend this talk as it will give you a clear understanding of the issues involving our past, present and future.

The event details are as follow:
Date : 14 March 2012 (Wednesday)
Time : 3.30 PM – 5.30 PM
Venue : Mason lecture theatre, Mile End Campus, Queen Mary University of London
Dress code : Smart casual

Queen Mary Malaysian Society would like to invite you to attend our very first Malaysian Night – ‘Cinta Teh Tarik‘

What do you get when you mix the black tea with the condensed milk and poured the mixture back and forth repeatedly between two vessels from a height? You get Teh Tarik(pulled tea). What do you expect when a Malaysian boy met another Malaysia girl in London and both of them are teh-tarik lovers? You get ‘Cinta Teh Tarik’!

Glossary:

Cinta – love

Teh – tea

Tarik – pull

We promise you that ‘Cinta Teh Tarik’ isn’t just like any other ordinary boring love story, however it is in fact something which some of you can relate to. This play is based on friendship, family and life outside home.

Prepare yourselves for a performance by our very own talented cast members including a traditional catwalk

Refreshments will be served during intermission.
