Malaysian MP

Congratulations to Charles Santiago for winning a parliamentary seat in the recent elections in Malaysia. He represents Klang in the state of Selangor.

Charles is an economist-activist and expert on trade and development issues.

I met him at an Asia-Pacific Conference on Debt and Development in Bangkok in 2005.

I am certain that he can contribute much to the changes sweeping our ASEAN partner.
