US ambassador misses Malaysia (and nasi lemak)


US Ambassador to Malaysia Kamala Shirin Lakhdhir has been working from home – all the way from Westport, the United States.

She left for Washington DC in late February 2020 for work purposes and then, as has been routine since being posted to Malaysia in 2016, headed to Westport, Connecticut, to visit her parents, Ann Hallan, 87, and Noor A. Lakhdhir, 95. For the devoted daughter this turned out to be the final opportunity to spend time with Hallan, who died on May 7 after an illness.
