PETALING JAYA: It is an undeniable fact that the political, economic and social status of Malaysian Chinese has improved since independence.
MCA president Datuk Seri Ong Ka Ting said, “The older people can testify to this. More than 50 years ago, many Chinese were living in poverty. Over the decades, many children left their villages and settled in urban areas. “You can see Chinese residents in Petaling Jaya moving from small to bigger houses,” he told PJ Utara constituents at a community gathering here last night. Ong said the MCA had been urging the Government to change its policies in education, public service and government procurement that were not in favour of the community. “There are now 89 Chinese primary schools nationwide, most of which were relocated and others are new ones. The party felt that it was not enough and decided to set up Tunku Abdul Rahman College and Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman. “We also encouraged the Government to hire Chinese in the public service and helped them with their promotions. When the Government came up with a policy that restricted Chinese companies from providing procurement services to government departments, we corrected it in the Cabinet,” he said. At the gathering, Ong praised the party's candidates Datin Paduka Chew Mei Fun (PJ Utara), Victor Gu (Damansara Utama) and Sheah Kok Fah (Kampung Tunku), saying that he was confident that they form the best team the party has put up for the people of PJ Utara. - Star
