PETALING JAYA: The 60-year milestone achieved by Universiti Malaya's Chinese Studies Department would not have been possible without the support from the university and Chinese community, says the King.

Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri'ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah said he was also made to understand how the 60th year was a significant time marker in the Chinese worldview.
