MACVA Visit Huazong Malaysian Chinese Museum

Friday, 8 Mac 24 at 1300 hrs. A team led by MACVA President Dato' Lee KL, VP Army, Carol Loo, CM Media Ng JC and MOV2 Secretary, John Soon had a visit and briefing at the Huazong Malaysian Chinese Museum located in Seri Kembangan. Upon arrival, we were warmly received by the museum curator, Mr Lim Kah Hoe, and a guided tour conducted by Ms Eu Zi Han.

The museum tour started before the Admiral Cheng Ho period until even the Hadyai Treaty. Throughout the tour, we observed that the museum lacks photos and archival artefacts involving the security forces. Mr Lim requested MACVA to assist them in providing historical documents, artefacts, and photographs to fill in the gaps covering the uniformed services. We look forward to the co-operation.

NORTHERN CHAPTER REMEMBRANCE DAY COMRADESHIP (NC RDC) LUNCHEON 3 DEC 2023

The NC RDC Luncheon at Elite House Restaurant was held on Sunday 3 Dec 2023 in conjunction with the Penang Remembrance Day. MACVA members from the NC and those who came from Kuala Lumpur, Johor and Singapore attended the luncheon. Present at the luncheon too, are invited guest, Dato Thygarajah and Datin.

We would like to congratulate NC Head Ng Chor Huat and his committee members especially the Organising Chairman Tan Soon Seng and his committee for the extremely successful MACVA NC fellowship with delicious food served. The camaraderie and the esprit de corps shown by members and their spouses present will be remembered and treasured by all for a long time. A special mention for our Associate member Morgan, who sang in Chinese both Hokkien and Cantonese songs to the delight of the Chief Minister.

The presence of YAB Chief Minister of Penang gracing the luncheon and belting two songs was the peak of the event. For the record, the YAB CM in his speech mentioned that he was invited to attend the Remembrance Day at the Cenotaph and the RDC NC Luncheon organized by NC, and he decided to attend the NC RDC Luncheon and let his Deputy CM II YB Jagdeep Singh Deo to represent him at the Remembrance Day event. An honour to MACVA indeed and speaks volume of the respect given to the NC Chapter Head Ng Chor Huat.

In his opening speech Ng Chor Huat made a humble request for a building for MACVA to use as a club for MACVA members to have a place to meet up. The positive response by the YAB CM of Penang was very encouraging.

The highlight of the event was the presentation of souvenir plaques to two major sponsors, Dato’ Chen Jen Ping and ASP(R) Chia Kim Nai, presentation of plaques to two Penang state awards recipients, Tham Ken Wah for PKT and Mok Keng Yee for PJK and certificate of appreciation to five RDC Organising Committee. The stage event presentation concluded with Hon Treasurer Mary Koh presenting the MEMOIR on behalf of the President and all members of MACVA to YAB Chief Minister of Penang and Organising RDC chairman Tan Soon Seng presented the CM with a fruit basket. .
