Fáilte,

It is with great pride that I once again accepted the role of President of the St. Patrick’s Society of Selangor at our AGM this September, this is my 2nd year back to back and my 3rd overall as President. A special honour.

The Irish community and our many Friends of Ireland are renowned for their warmth, fun, and hospitality, and nowhere is this more alive than in Kuala Lumpur.

We are fortunate to have strong community connections through the local GAA club, Orang Eire, the Irish Chamber of Commerce in Malaysia (ICCM), and the Irish Embassy, led by Her Excellency Orla Tunney, the Ambassador of Ireland to Malaysia.

As the bustling Christmas season draws near, we are thrilled to celebrate with you. We have organized a fantastic Ceili, with the assistance and support of the Embassy of Ireland. The event will be held at Arthur’s Storehouse Pavilion Bukit Bintang on the 29th November 2pm – 5pm ( watch our socials for details ) we have our Christmas Angels event and our Christmas Hooley on December 5th at Rockafellers Damansara Heights. This co-hosted event will be held with our friends at the ICCM and Orang Eire.

But the big event is yet to come! Our 101st year will begin with the 2026 St. Patrick’s Day Ball at the Shangri-La Kuala Lumpur on the 7th March 2026

Be sure to renew your membership by the 31st December to secure your place at the 2026 St. Patrick’s Ball. The Best Ball Ever!

Best wishes,

Tony Ocone 

President of the St Patrick’s Society of Selangor
