KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Dr Wee Ka Siong says the solidarity among the Foo Chow community in Ma­­laysia is exemplary and should be emulated.

Although the clan was small with some 800,000 people or about 12% of the Chinese population in Malaysia, he said, the Foo Chows achieved great success in various fields, especially in business.
