KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 12 — The very popular game of mahjong got its bit of Hollywood mention when actress Julia Roberts revealed that she played it every week. “I missed my game this week. So, maybe we can go out later and play outside,” she said in jest during the plenary session at the Obama Foundation Leaders: Asia-Pacific Programme with former First Lady of the United States Michelle Obama that was also live-streamed on the foundation’s website.The programme is a one-year leadership development programme that seeks to inspire, empower, and connect emerging leaders from across the Asia-Pacific region. “We bring food and meet.
When asked about how one could lift themselves out from “dark days”, she said one has to believe that the “light will come”.“Sharing is such a valuable thing. So get a mahjong group going, get a running partner and share.”
