PUTRAJAYA: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob received a courtesy call on Monday (June 7) from key leaders of the Federation of Chinese Associations Malaysia (Huazong), who, among others, shared their views on the economy and current issues.
Among those present at the one-hour meeting at Perdana Putra here were Huazong president Tan Sri Goh Tian Chuan, deputy president Datuk Ong Seng Khek, vice-president Datuk Lam Kuang Yau, secretary-general Datuk Dr Wong Aik Loung and treasurer Tan Sri Tan Kean Soon.
