Malaysian Writer on Road Show in US

Thanks to Eng Han for highlighting this. She would be having her book promotion at various areas in US, including New York City, Columbia University, Harvard University, Rochester, Seattle, San Francisco and Los Angeles.

This is definitely a spirit of Malaysia Boleh!
