Ambassador Hernandez will discuss the socialism with local activists
PETALING JAYA: The Venezuelan ambassador to Malaysia, Manuel Antonio Guzman Hernandez, will join local activists tomorrow in a panel discussion on socialism as an alternative economic and political system.
The discussion is one of the main items in the programme of Parti Socialis Malaysia’s annual conference this weekend.
PSM has close relations with socialists in Venezuela, but this will be the first time that Hernandez participates in its conference. His discussion partners will include Sungai Siput MP Dr D Michael Jeyakumar and NGO activist Ahmad Fuad Rahmat of Islamic Renaissance Front and Projek Dialog.
Two other panel discussions will follow the one featuring Hernandez tomorrow. Both will be held after the lunch. One of these will concentrate on developments in the Middle East since the Arab Spring. Shah Alam MP Khalid Samad of PAS will be one of the speakers.
The third discussion is on the future of the political left in Malaysia. The speakers include PSM secretary general S Arutchelvan and PKR activist Badrul Hisham Shaharin of Solidariti Anak Muda Malaysia.
Sunday’s sessions focus more on Malaysia and the highlight will be a discussion on the Communist Party of Malaya (CPM), with Darshan Singh Khaira and Tommy Thomas speaking.
The two lawyers represented CPM chief Chin Peng in his failed bid to return to Malaysia before his death last Sept 16.
The conference is open to the public. The registration fee is RM10 for students and RM25 for others. Everyone who registers will get a T-shirt and lunch tickets for both days of the conference.
