Datuk Seri Michael Chong is ever ready to lend a helping hand


Abdul Rahman Sothy Abdullah seeks help from Chong over an issue at his apartment block.

An A4-size photo print stands out amid the stacks of files and photographs on Datuk Seri Michael Chong’s table. It is a photo of Chong – MCA’s Public Services and Complaints Department chief – with a 20something-year-old woman.

Much respected for his dedication to public service, Chong must have taken thousands of photos with the people whom he has assisted in his 30 years on the job. They come from all walks of life.
