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 Mr Lim requested MACVA to assist them in providing historical documents, artefacts, and photographs to fill in the gaps covering the uniformed services.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.
