WHAT HAPPENED

Dr. David Lacey has been appointed as the new British Honorary Consul in Penang, taking over from Dato’ Robert Hawkins MBE, who retired after twenty years in the post, according to a statement from News and communications.

Lacey, a qualified medical doctor, will now represent British interests and assist citizens in Penang. Hawkins’ tenure is noted for its longevity, and his retirement marks the end of a two-decade era of diplomatic service. The appointment was announced recently, signalling a continuation of the UK’s engagement with the state of Penang.

The honorary consul role is key for fostering trade, cultural links and consular services between the UK and Penang, a Malaysian state with a significant expatriate community.
