We meet again: Treadell was a junior diplomat in Kuala Lumpur when Dr Mahathir served as the Prime Minister in the 1980s.
PUTRAJAYA: British High Commissioner Vicki Treadell is the first foreign head of mission to pay a courtesy call on Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, and there is a special reason for it.
The Ipoh-born envoy was a junior diplomat in Kuala Lumpur in the 1980s when Dr Mahathir first served as Prime Minister back then. She met him again in Edinburgh when Britain hosted the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) in 1997.
