I was invited by the Old Left to speak on 18 Jun, 2022, in Chinese (I RI, lousy school, illiterate) -cannot read or write Chinese, P5 for Chinese with Translation for ‘O’ Level

I have never met so many people (almost all in their 80’s) who have been jailed for years, for their political activism

They may be old, but their spirit is still strong!

Someone asked me – as I have been invited to speak more than 100 times in over 40 countries – which are my most memorable ones?

Well:

OAS (Organisation of American States) General Assembly Business Roundtable, Fort Lauderdale, USA

Ibero-American Heads of Government Summit, Costa Rica

Caribbean Development Bank Board of Governors Annual Meeting, Caracas, Venezuela

Global Leadership Forum, Siberia, Russia; Turkey; Jordan

SDGs (UN Sustainable Development Goals) Conference, Beirut, Lebanon

Human Rights Conference, Nur-Sultan, Kazakstan
