I’ve had an excellent series of virtual visits to Penang and just had a conversation with Chief Minister Chow (Kon Yeow). That’s not as good as going in the physical sense but it is good to keep up with an important state like Penang. Until we can travel physically, I hope to be able to keep in touch with other parts of Malaysia this way. At the embassy we have reduced staff and a facemask policy, except when you are in a room alone. > How long will Malaysia remain in Tier 3, and will US aid to Malaysia be affected in the meantime?
