Educationist group United Chinese School Teachers’ Association (Jiao Zong) recently set up an inter-ethnic outreach committee to foster better interracial cooperation and to stop others from calling it a “racist” organisation, reported Sin Chew Daily.

Jiao Zong president Cheah Lek Aee said the group needed to be more proactive in reaching out to the non-Chinese community to let them better understand its history and role in society.
