KUALA LUMPUR: Over 550 Chinese associations showed their support for the “Malaysians for Peace” campaign at the Selangor Chinese Assembly Hall in what was deemed to be the country's first largest gathering of such organisations.
MCA vice-president Datuk Seri Ong Ka Ting said the national-level associations for the Chinese communities, which turned up in full force to pledge their support to protest against the impending war on Iraq, represented over half of the Chinese population in Malaysia.
