Seventy-five Fulbright English Teaching Assistants (ETAs) arrived in Kuala Lumpur on January 7 for a three-week orientation before departing for primary and secondary schools in four states across Malaysia. Ambassador Paul W. Jones and Deputy Chief of Mission Lee McClenny both participated in the ETA orientation in Kuala Lumpur. They met a vibrant and talented group who are eager to utilize their skills, meet and make friends with Malaysians around the country. The Embassy’s social media platforms focused on the arrival of the 75 Fulbright English Teaching Assistants who will be on assignments in four participating states– Terengganu, Pahang, Johor, and a new addition this year, the state of Perak. On January 18, the Embassy of Malaysia will host a reception featuring a farewell to YES participants, welcome to the 75 new ETAs and recognition of the 50th Anniversary of the Fulbright program in Malaysia. A separate gala event is planned for May to focus on the Fulbright 50th anniversary.
