PETALING JAYA: As Malaysia and China celebrate the golden jubilee of their diplomatic ties, Dewan Negara deputy president Datuk Nur Jazlan Mohamed has recounted his ancestral ties to the Middle Kingdom.
The 58-year-old leader said his maternal grandfather migrated to Malaysia in 1920 as China was grappling with an economic crisis as a result of the Opium Wars.
