MCA upset over history omission


PETALING JAYA: A primary school textbook has omitted MCA’s contribution towards the formation of Malaysia, says MCA deputy president Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong.

He said he was “shocked” to discover that the history book for Chinese vernacular schools highlighted the contributions of former Singapore prime minister Lee Kuan Yew but made no mention of the late MCA veteran Tan Sri Wong Pow Nee.
