As part of AMCHAM’s Women’s Week and in conjunction with AMCHAM’s MP Chat Series, YB Hannah Yeoh joined us for an informative and casual conversation on rising women equality in Malaysia in the working, global, and parental environments.

Due to the recent announcement of the extension of the Conditional Movement Control Order (CMCO) throughout most of the country until 6 December, AMCHAM has decided to postpone our much-loved Thanksgiving Luncheon to accommodate the rules around larger groups.

The Thanksgiving Luncheon will now take place at Hilton Kuala Lumpur on 14 December (Monday), 12.00pm - 2.00pm.

We are hoping that come December we will all be able to safely celebrate together.
