We are continuing our very successful Fireside Chat series. Many thanks to those who attended the last AGM and Chat with Dr Johan Saravanamuttu.

We are pleased to announce that Abdullah Tarmugi will be our next Fireside Chatter. In a political career spanning almost 30 years, Mr Tarmugi served in various political offices, including:
· Speaker of Parliament (2002 to 2011),
· Minister for Community Development and Sports (1994 to 2000), and
· Minister-in-charge of Muslim Affairs (1996 to 2002).

Since 2012, Mr Tarmugi has served as a member of the Presidential Council for Minority Rights. He is also part of the 9-member Constitutional Commission formed in February 2016 for the Review of the Elected Presidency.

Due to space constraints, and in order to facilitate frank and candid discussions, the Committee is imposing a limit on the number of participants to 30 persons (Members and Guests).

Members signing up early will pay a token $30, with at most one guest per member at $38. This is non-refundable and will have to be paid even if there is non-attendance for any reason, since no-shows at the last minute still incur catering costs and deprive other Members of a highly-coveted space at these Fireside Chats.
