Dato'Ambiga Sreenevasan who is the current illustrious President of the Bar Council of Malaysia has made international headlines while gaining international respect & recognition as one of world's most courageous women!
This prestigious Award was bestowed on her by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and witnessed by First Lady Michelle Obama. Dato'Ambiga is the first ever Malaysian in History to receive such a prestigious award from another illustrious and world's most powerful woman Madame Hillary Rodham Clinton!
I feel extreamly proud of her and yes, Dato' Ambiga is a Star! She has brought international respect to Malaysia even tho many would have much to say about the Malaysian judiciary but really with people like Ambiga, Justice is being seen to and is moving in the right direction! Congratulations Dato!
Syabas Dato'Ambiga Sreenevasan !!!
