“Money may be able to buy a lot of things, but it should never, ever be able to buy another human being”, said Dr Elizabeth Lee quoting United States Secretary of State, John Kerry on the issue of human trafficking. In her welcome remarks to 77 young ASEAN student delegates of the First ASEAN Foundation Model ASEAN Meeting hosted by Sunway University, Dr Lee said that Sunway is proud to be associated with the event that promotes unity and forges tolerance among youths within and beyond ASEAN. She took time to remind the student delegates that they are the future, highlighting the importance that they prepare themselves to transform and tackle current issues and change the system for the benefit of future generations to come.
The Meeting focusing on the timely issue of “Trafficking in Persons”, held from 18 to 22 November 2015 was organised to coincide with the 27th ASEAN Summit and related meetings in Kuala Lumpur. The inaugural meeting provided delegates the opportunity to role play as ASEAN officials.
