Scramble for top post in chamber


ABOUT 15 years ago, the Malaysia-China Chamber of Commerce (MCCC) had to amend its constitution to allow incumbent president Tan Sri Ngan Ching Wen to lead for another term. No one wanted to head the MCCC then as it meant having to cough up a lot of money to modernise its old-fashioned operation and fund its activities.

On top of that, the chamber was largely an unknown entity among business organisations and government circles – partly due to its weak secretariat headed by an elderly retired headmaster and mainly due to inaction by its Chinese-educated leaders who were contended with status quo.
